Haha sounds good! There will be plenty of bs flying around if we are on the cans lol!

Just waiting on my clutch slave to see what clearance I have, once that is sorted I can mount the engine and box up finally! I'll then trailer it to my new house, make turbo manifold, rad and piping, cut hole for shifter.. It never ends I tell ya

Engine and gearbox crossmembers are all done! cutting the hole for the shifter and where the turbo will be sitting tomorrow. also fitting up the diff properly so i can bring it home. pics of that tomorrow night..

Cruised up to sydney this morning and picked up a couple of goodies.. my super comfy front seats and new front wheels!

yank wheels, i reckon they look the goods ... AluminiumStar II?

Yep Alumastar 2.0.. 15x3.5", 2.25" Backspace.. ive always liked them and when i had to buy new fronts i had to have them! was a bit hesitant in handing over AUD $1200 for 2 bare wheels though lol.

The rear Convos will be pulled apart and powdercoated to match.

new wheels will look great,tuff drag style. just saw your engine pictures dam thats a big turbo. what computer you running motec or haltech?

yep i love the drag style! just wish they would build a strip closer to home! closest one is 4.5hrs away

engine will be running an old school MTX8 Microtech to start with lol.. its the ecu that came with the engine, tuned for 400rwhp.

Then ill change the injectors to 2200cc jobs, run it on meth or E85, which will be ran by a Haltech Platinum Sport 1000.. which SHOULD put out 600+hp.

Super comfortable seat you got there big fella. You only need to sit in it for 10 whole seconds though lol
Have you got the car home yet?

haha they are suprisingly comfortable! perfect size for me too which im happy about.. they will be getting padded and trimmed in the tan colour later too.. also hoping to be driving for less the 10 seconds

Nope still at the workshop Rhys, going over to finish getting it ready tomorrow.. rear window going in. And i can give it its first bath, jesus its dirty!

perfect size for me too which im happy about..

:P bonus lol. Good mate
Oh i bet it would be filthy by now but things will change soon enough!
I have had a slight change of heart! Now NOT going to try and make my ute a track/street car with ALL of the go fast bits i have but get it on the road with a resonably stock engine (the one i got that was built in wagga thats forged) and not bother with a cage and all the stuff i was going to put in the ute! Just get it on the road .....

Then down the track build or buy a track car. No point building a ute i would never use the potential on the street and one that the engineer would give me a heap of trouble! Going to to enough for the street anyways!

haha youll prob end up like me and have 3 different engines in 12 months!.. nah good stuff tho, hook in and get some new pics up pronto..
