Cheers Guys

Fehlbie,the wiring is pretty much finished[;^)].I just have to plug it in and mount the SM4 Box and MSD.Then find a home for the 4 coils[:p].I still need to mount the front wheel speed sensor and wire both the front and rear speed sensors for traction control(not yet operational),wire the traction control and WOT switches,hook up the fan trigger,hook up the error light,hook the msd to b+,mount a switch for high/low boost,I also have a few spare outputs and inputs so other goodies may come later.

The whole wiring loom has taken around 8 hours to complete and I expect to literally plug it in and have everything operational.Every conection is soldered,every wire group is heat shrink wraped and like my SMC harness it is designed to be semi hidden below the injectors to keep the engine bay that little bit tidier.I doubt it will be in the car complete for WSID so the old set up will have one last hoorahI will certainly be giving it a shot though[;^)]

I dont expect the computer to make much difference to the et's.They may be better once I can get some traction off the line[;^)][(#)]

Nothing to exciting Damion,but that is an interesting point you have raised[%]

I was going to either make a hatch in the top of it to allow me to carry tools etc inside or maybe even just cut the top off and use the top to blank the hole in the floor.That way I could put a big arse muffler under and a pea shooter exhaust out the back for the full sleeper effect[(#)][;^)]I am keen to quiten it down a little....Im getting old[:p]

Maybe you should get a zimmer frame as well...[:x)][:x)][:x)]
Maybe you could hide a blue bottle in that tank? Great to see she is going again mate. If you head out to the drags let m know and I will come and join you.

Looking great.Take the tank out and lower the rear to the weed's.
Goodluck with your 1/4 mile.Blue bottle in old tank will help.

Go the pea shooter idea.
