 Re: My ca18det conversion
nar mick (mechanic) cut it out so the engine can slide straight in with box all bolted on. and yeh intercooler is 450x300x76, was only $100 so i'm not complaining about the size, as mark said, it will be hidden any way.

BAD310: yeh i'll tell him to get on to urs once mine is running and outta there haha mick said it should be running by the end of the week, unsure on when mod plate will be done.

Mark: u goin to start driving it once u get a diff!!!?? cant beleive u rarely take it out!

Has mick sorted out your tailshaft yet? I have two at home that he said he might be interested in, and get both ours done at the same time.
I will try and drop by with them tomorrow and see if he wants them.

Thought so - I meant is that a 450mm cooler too? Then as a separate statement "Big!"

(I've got one the same size to go in my coupe)

$100 is a good price too, I managed to get mine for $150 delivered (new)....so $100 is very good

 Re: My ca18det conversion
Mildman- at first i thought that was what u meant but saw mark say it's not to big lol so thought i read it wrong haha

B120dat: yeh well i just wanted to get all the hard #### out of the way and have neaten it up abit while it was out rather than doing it again later. Yeh just staying stock for a while, then i'll see what else i can do to it. have heaps of ideas for a bit of modification to the body where the number plate is, wheels, interior and sound system upgrade. not sure thought all dreams at the moment.

This hasn't seemed to have taken you that long (I'm going from when you had the A14 for sale). Awesome turnaround if that's the case.

Congrats on the big effort, hope she hauls ass!

OY, tell mick to get back onto my car
That looks awesome, so that would have only been a bit over two weeks wouldn't it?
Is 'on the road by the weekend' mod plated as well or just running?
