I've had them before, it's a larf to say the least.



Exhaust, intercooler and running higher boost = about as quick as a stock XR6. I've belted 180s and I've been beaten by a few, same with Skylines.

Pumped the clutch 50 times to see whether it would make it feel normal again.

It worked!

It was dead stock until a few hours ago. Full exhaust and flash tuned now. I'll get more power out of it when I play wth the tune.

Got sick of scrubbing so I attacked the guards with a hammer :oopsie: I also fixed an intake leak, my crooked front bar and replaced the oil cooler lines with solid stainless ones. The rubber ones were falling apart..

My mate used to have a BF Falcon. He put in a larger throttle body and intake... probably the best induction noise I've ever heard.

That should be next on your list :)

I like! Twin turbo would have been easier, but a big single will make good numbers.

Steering rack out, under-bonnet area stripped, all brake components out ready for cleaning. Now to wait for bits to arrive and somebody who can do chemical stripping.

Pretty cool front clip dis-assembly there on the Beamers chassis rails - I like it ! :thumbsup:

Oh & the LS-1's pretty spiffy too.

Lowered it.
Fixed my pass headlight that didnt fully close due to lightly hitting the front bu,per in the corner hole.
Inserted a missing clip in my interior trim.
Fixed my indicator in the bumper by way of a zip tie. First time I have ever used a zip tie on any of my cars...

I'm not 100% sold on them. I don't like the extra bulge in the rear and the lip at the front.
When I get the JDM rear bumper put on, along with my rear skirts I'll see (as a complete package) if my opinion changes.

put it into a gutter sideways pretty hard, ripped off a sideskirt, bent lower and upper control arms on the front, along with the brand new coilover on that corner, bent rear control arms too, buckled one rim and shattered the other, all in all, a solid effort

Gutted my brake proportioning valve, went back to Pedders to give them some details on where to track down all the parts they lost. 2-4 week wait on parts, sigh.

I drove it.. Down the street to turn it around. But I've finished everything I wanted mechanically and I guess the next step would be paint and a general exterior tidy up..
