In the car :


On its way up to Gripfab


I want to change the injectors from 550cc to something a bit higher and replace the standard intake manifold, have it looking more like the engine below :


The aim is for a comfortable 500bhp without pushing the engine too hard.

So I offered up some Racing Harts I had out in the shed, 18 x 10JJ and with a 50mm spacer I think they'll be minty

You and me both buddy

Poor car is feeling neglected but hopefully she'll be heading up to Gripfab soon to have some fab work done :


But at least its good for storing wheels :


And here are some shots of the Racing Harts :

Ya dude although I was talking with John and something might be able to be done with the standard one

Ya I am going to have to cut the 1/4's and mould them to the body, the rest should still be removeable, I'll be putting this back white for sure

Its a c*nt for parking

I actually got the wheels at good money because they need a refurb and thats what I do outside the day job Here it the car they came from, a GT300 Kitted Celica from back in the day. The Racing Harts filled out the arches nicely however these are 5 x 100 so when I have my adapter/spacer machine I can sit the wheels exactly where I want down to the MM

[grange]

Oh really? What can be done?

[Kruizer]

Oh really? What can be done?

Have one coming from Garage D

Be careful who you trust to build your engine, so called built RB25, ran for 30mins, opened her up to have a look and found sand in the oil and the so called machined head wasn't exactly right ?! Real pro at work here, good job I didn't trust him and had a proper mechanic strip it down to inspect it. Now she needs some head work, new acl race bearings, polish the crank and oil wash the engine before rebuilding it properly !!! Rant Over...
