Doesn't that just make it more interesting to watch the motor run? Is that plate a necessity for any reason other than stopping shit (and body parts) getting in there?nice buy dude,

haha yeah I didn't realise how small my Torana was until it was out on the street and mum parked her Vienta behind it. It looked about 80% and long as wide, and 60% as high rofl, and it's gonna be lowered further.mines lowered, trust me they look heaps better (especially next to mums big commodore)

As far as the tacho is concerned, I'd just get a UC Sports Dash (cheaper than any aftermarket tacho and includes other instruments lol) and then get a seperate shift light. I assume you're gonna put a quickshifter in the place of the T-Bar? If not I wouldn't bother with the shift light anyway, as if you're concerned with shifting at the perfect time, you won't be able to monitor it more accurately than the reading you get from glancing at the tacho lol.
My 2c anyway, it'll save you money and one less reason for mr. plod to pull you over and hassle you.

And yes, by the sounds of it your motor will rev quite freely, just don't expect it to spin out like a rotary or anything. It's still a 30 year old motor and the expression on your face when six litres of oil surges out onto the ground below your car and the engine bay becomes a smoke machine because you've been giving your new motor too much of a hard time won't be a very nice one.
Don't take what I say the wrong way. As you said perfectly "i'm not hear to bitch" ...well that's exactly right, and neither am I. So yeah you'll hear a lot of advice on here; some good, some bad. You choose what to listen to and what to dismiss. As long as your car's still running nice when I'm ready to take the LX on a cruise with you, then I'm happy. Take it easy man!

If you do get pulled over, the lack of compliance to adr27A is going to be one reason there might be a sticker to match the paintwork........very nice down the left side of the car!......what's wrong with the right side?....also notice you have the reversed rear lamps(indicators to the outside)My 2c anyway, it'll save you money and one less reason for mr. plod to pull you over and hassle you.
Dont see many UC's as straight as that.
