Get a picture of her half naked on the bonnet of the car then she can think its because she is in the picture rather than the car .

Well havent updated for a while, so here we are.
Put some MSD 550cc injectors in to replace the z20let ones, still running like a bag of nails with these, think i need new plugs. It has always smoked since i put it back together so narrowed it down to valve stem oil seals on no 1. so just began taking it to bits once again.
Plans are to change the inlet manifold for a more free flowing one and to fit a larger throttlebody.
Hopefully get it backtogether and running properly and aim for over 400 bhp.
Started to strip it down last nite.
Did some ghetto puncture finding..
