brrrrrr.... just been outside working on the skyline. My hands are now defrosting.
Liquid Gasketed the rear turbo inlet pipe.... Fee couldnt get to it to do it when she fitted the modified Twin Turbo inlet pipe.
some random piccies
ATI Damper Pulley fitted - even just watching it rotate it looks so much smoother and balanced. Gives me a bit more peace of mind when reving to 8000+ rpm
Oil drain from rear of head to stop oil pooling up there and staring the bottom end.
Modified twin turbo pipe with sheet of alu welded between the two inlet tracks to try and smooth/seperate the air flow to avoid the pain in the ass turbo shuffle we have. Havent tested much yet, whilst it seems better it wasnt cured.

how much will a vinyl wrap cost for a car that size? i mean the likes of me spraying the whole thing white or blue or whatever would be around 700 if you're not fussed about the odd blemish here n there (i'm quite good btw).

should be finished in the body shop today hopefully...... doors on, windows in, cage upgraded
as it stood before slimfast part2.1 power to weight was (500bhp, 1360kg) - 368bhp/ton
Targets are 550+bhp and 1280kg = 430bhp/ton
Will see about ordering a new set of 888's in the next few weeks, and CarboTech XP10's
