Necro time!

The car is on its 4th 4speed now so its time to ditch that idea, I have bought a th400 and adaptor kit (worked out to be around 100AUD ish) but this wont be in for a while. As for now we have begun work on modifying the inlet manifold:

Larger chamber (around 4000cc) and a 90mm throttle body, and the best part is cutting down on the bends and cooler pipe!

Also fitted a race seat, have mocked up where the gauges will all sit, and even have the new shifter sitting in place:

Car is a real mess at the moment but in the coming months it should start to come back together, still a long road ahead before I am able to have it certified, but am hopeing it will all be worth it in the end!
