good stuff mate. lookin mint
if u dont mind me asking what kind of money are the bilsteins going to set u back. are they a new direct fit or a rebuilt modified set.
Cheers Mish

well my quickshifter arrived today, so much smoother then standard rs one, also fitted new gearbox mount as the old one was original and soft as jelly, ordered my bilstien shocks came to a total of $908 and theyre coming over from Sydney so that should get the car feeling a bit nicer, ill also do adjustable strut tops and new front and rear springs and a superpro bush kit while im at it, can any one recommend a brand of strut tops ?, and with any luck all my brake components should arrive tommorow so ill fit them up 2morow night, so over the next few weeks my car should feel totally different

yeah when in doubt, scream for help haha

nah if i cant get springs off the shelf ill get some customs made up because i would like to keep this ride height, looks spot on i rekon

and as for the fancy struts i figured if im gonna do it at all might aswell do it properly

heres the specs:
20 thou over bore. Shot pened rods. flat top pistons. balanced. Head port and polish. new over sized vales (triple angles, facing). new valve springs and rockers. wade cam. inlet opens at 50 deg and closes at 77 deg, exh opens at 63 deg and closes at 48degs. Inlet duration 307 deg, Exh 291 deg. Over lap of 98 deg. 400 thou lift. Adjustable cam gear. alloy rocker cover. pace maker extractors

previous owner made 152 hp atw on efi throttle bodies, so im expecting less on twin 40's but should still be a fun package
