Looks good, you should have let as now i would have been up for a cruize and prob 2 or 3 more torys

Thanks mate, loving your's as well, looks super tough in the white. It was a last minute thing to take her for a spin, I'll give the Perth people notice before I return next in about 4 weeks, and maybe organise another run perhaps.

Regards,

Dave

Looks like the headlights are a bit out of alignment lol. Any details on what they are? A little curious

Sits so nicely. Will definately suit the look without the filter visible

They pull up really well, but I think rear pad knock off is going to be a problem, will have to build a full floater diff at some stage down the track. As it is though, there is zero feedback through the pedal, I only adjust pressure from seat of the pants. Need to play around with the adj prop valve as well.

Both cars look great .

It was nice to actually get some fine weather and get your cars out after one of the longest wettest winters i can remember

The hatch looks like it is ready for the Meelup Hillclimb :burnout:

Haven't been on in a while, nice suprise, thanks Welb!! Bit embarressing though, the droptank is still crooked, and a couple of other things.

I'll get some more pic's up in a day or two.

Gearbox has a bit of a leak which is a pain in the arse, so that'll be coming out soon, other than that, running engine in still. Gave it a little bit more of a squirt today and the back tyres just lit straight up, hoo boy I can't wait to hit the track and really get into her!!

Your drop tank may be sitting too far forward and the spare wheel bump is pushing it down on the passenger side.

As I would not cut the rear hooks for the tank on my car to site the tank further back, I had the tank divit modified to make more room to sit the tank forward.

Good luck.

That is one super clean hatchback, well done 355LX. Everything about this thing looks magic.

Did you end up fitting swaybars to this baby? If so, what brands did you use? With the front do you have to run a front-mount bar, or can you use a rear-mount?
