How's it go with it's fuel ratio towards the top end with the VLT injectors? No dramas?
And how's your MF5 going! I've got alot less power then that and she hates me. Sitting at idle with the clutch out and it sounds like marbles getting rattled around a tin can. I thought about upgrading the clutch because I'm getting some slippage, but I figured I'd rather lose a clutch then a box.
Looks good though mate.
If you find a cheap r33 box supplier let me know.
Hey Bax, Fuel is fat all the way, doesnt lean out at all because i am using a malpassi rising rate fuel pressure regulator. MF5 is working well at the moment, only problem is has some bearing noise. Ive got a heavy duty brass button clutch doesnt slip at all. And i have a mate who knows where to source jap parts, ill find out where.

Hey guys havnt been on here in a while, it may be too late to answer these questians but i will anyway lol. Tail lights are off a VK calais, although there not on there anymore as i bought a brand new set of vk berlina ones for it. Wetz shes rollin on VY SS 18's and its a manual. Although im thinking about converting it to auto and building a tuff stalled n shifted auto for it. This car has seen a fair bit of work in the past months and its getting so close to being finnished (for the time being lol) just have to get off my ass and get it done lol
