ive done a few things to my car recently, just thought id share whats been done.
Ive had the engine rebuilt a few months ago, should be pushing 160rwhp when its dynoed. Thats without the triple nitrous setup that will go on it eventually. I know i keep saying that, but i keep on buying other stuff for it, as i want to get her fighting fit for the muscle car shootout at warwick in may.
Last few things ive done have been to put new carpet in her, add GT4 celica front seats, tar the underbody of the car, and add a carter electric fuel pump. The rear brakes have been machined and have new shoes.
Today i put new slotted LX discs and LUCAS street/circuit racing pads on the front. I got these from torana05, A2 from milton performance, and i must say im stoked with the results, the car actually stops now! Hopefully no brake fade at the end of the straight at morgan park or qld raceway!
Before easter the boot will be covered in black felt, or something similar, just to clean it up a bit. Ive also bought a 65L alloy drop tank from torana05, which i will be polishing up this week and putting in probably next week, as im yet to make up a sender for it. Therell almost be no room for a spare with the battery, alloy tank and shiny blue 10lb nitrous bottle in there!
Then the last thing will be the KC alloy rocker cover, which will hopefully solve my oil issues.
Anyway heres a few pics of the brakes and fuel pump, the rest u can check out at my cardomain site. And yeh i know it needs new balljoints!
Cheers,
A1

I also took a few shots of the interior cause i dont think ive put those up before.
Next week i will finish polishing up the fuel tank, and put that in, with the modifed HK sender, and then all the ball joints are getting done.
After that is a set of custom trumpets for the carbs, and a dyno tune.

wyldlc, yeh i probably will do that eventually, though ive adjusted the roller rockers before i put it on, so they should be right for a few months at least before i have to take it off again (solid cam). After going on and off 3 times today it aint coming off in a hurry.
Next week hopefully ill get the boot all done up, tar it first, then cover it in felt and put the polished tank in there, i might even put the nitrous bottle in just for a picture Theres gonna be no room for my toolbox!

Spent a day making up a heatshield to go between the carbs and the extractors, to keep some heat away from the fuel bowls. Works a treat!
When the trumpets arrive for my carbs, its going into get dynoed. Got it tuned up on saturday, and man this car is quick!! Even give Rory a run for his money i reckon
Engine specs are:
nitrous 202 + 40thou, flat top pistons, blue rods, nitrous cam .238 & .248 @ .50, 1.6 inlet & 1.5 outlet ratio roller rockers, big $$ 186 YT head big valves, screw in studs and guideplates, straight cut gears, triple 1.75 HIF SU's, 2.5" exhaust, elec dizzy and splitfire 8.8mm leads
So far 151rwhp n/a, before being rebuilt, now with a few extra things im hoping for about 160rwhp. Find out this week!
Regards,
