another thing you could look into if you wanted your throttle bodies is run a fuel rail setup on your manifold and take out the chokes and aux venturii's in your weber/dellortos and you would have a nice set of 40mm throttle bodies get the injector bosses from efi hardware and try and track down a factory fuel rail that lines up, i picked up a vl commodore fuel rail and pump for 30 bucks at the swap meet today, i've got access to a tig welder at work so will come up with something when i get around to it

So I'm in a bit of a situation...I don't know whether to get the car resprayed or get the turbo and EFI gear happening. I had a motorbike fall onto another bike, then on to the car tonight and it's ripped a sh!tload of paint off. The whole car needs a spray anyway, and now that there's some missing paint it seems like a good excuse, but then again it's not the end of the world because the primer is still covering the bare metal.

At the moment I've got the money for one or the other...

What would McGuyver do?

Paint or power, tough choice.. both can easily blow out of proportion cost wise !

If you can find a standard bore pinto block I will have a set of reasonably priced standard Cossie pistons for sale in the near future [;^)]

Hahaha yeah well I'm actually kind of leaning towards the paint which is odd for me. Because I really want the blackout between the tail lights, and I really want a solid matte black RS stripe to break up all the red, but I don't want it to continue past the rear wheel.

I really want the turbo gear too, but I think with a decent tune and get the cam timing right this time it should put a big enough smile on my face until I feel the need to break traction in 3rd...that's when I might go for the turbsssss.

Also that alloy rocker cover is total rubbish as I discovered when I pulled it off. There's gauge marks on the inside from parts rubbing against it, not too happy but there's not much I can do about it, so it's back to a stock one for a while, no big deal, doesn't bother me at all actually! The stock one might actually hold some oil too which would be super.

Doesn't look like much I know, but I'll get it cleaned up and whack a T04B on it one day (was going to use a GT28RS, but then decided it's too girly and small). I'll get the car painted one day too, maybe even a colour change. If I don't burn the thing to the ground before then. We'll see.

Yeah I've decided to just keep saving and do paint and the turbo at the same time, I might need to get some venting happening on top of the bonnet. Thanks for the offer Mark, I'm going to use a front mount but I will think about it, seeing as it already has a hole in it, rather than cutting up a good solid bonnet, I know how difficult a good RS bonnet is to find. I'll let you know!

Yeah I still get a good giggle out of the skyrine skid, that was a fun night. It's a hilarious car. At least it doesn't have a body kit on it though!

Sure looks a treat in the latest pics - it's going to a good home!

I'm sure he can't wait to get into it!
