AJR allan jones racing Signiture series 16x7.5. wanted 17s but for 300 for the set (no tires) i cant complain. They have a few gutter scapes thou.[:(!] I was looking at ford Phantom purple but i might leave that for my other RS, and make this one White. Hopefully it will draw less attention then.[%][%] My rear end has one advantage over allans, I still have a back seat.

well 3am and i have just finished working on the beast. All the rear end is in and i would take it for a spin but its a bit loud straight from the exctractors at 3am. Its booked in tomorrow (later today actually) for an exaust system which is why i had to get it finished tonight. Twin 2 1/2 inch straight throu system. One muffler and ressie per side. I am very happy with the finished product. I will post some pics as soon as i get a chance. David

Well I have to say that if any one is looking at putting in a 5 link rear end, they are awesome. I have 2.77 gears in the back but can release the clutch hard at 5000rpm and it just bites in and goes. about 3000rpm was tops with the leaves. The springs i am using are very stiff also as i am only getting about15mm of sag. If anyone has a V6 capri i highly recomend a 2 1/2 twin system for them. It has given me heaps of extra power right throu the rev range compared to the 1 3/4 to 1 1/2 over the diff twin system, And sound POSH.     I will post picks once i have my camera back.

Yes, still got the rear seat. I will get some pic tomorrow. I am having lots of fun playing around with a G-tech. Cool little device. I have hooked up the bias velve so i have my brakes working properly and acording to the Gtech....
60mph to 0 in 47m. Still fine tuning the brake bias.
0 to 60mph 7.6sec. Still learning to launch with the new setup and 2.77 gears.
1/4 mile of 16.00 91mph And 120Rwhp ad 20% 144hp at the flywheel. I expected about 160-170 out of the V6. Its running a bit like a dog so i am going to take it to a mate to get the webbers surviced and tuned.
I will run it over the pit tomorrow and get some good pics of it for everyone to have a look at.

Good isnt it.  I bought some proper ones on friday. I am still sorting it out the rear thou. I am going to replace all the rubbers with nolathane bushes because the diff is twisting and the tail shaft has just touched the floor pan. I may have to mod the floor also when i put in some softer springs if i go to the drags. Lots of work in it and i dont know how the engerneer is going to like it yet[:x)][%].
