Looks awesome even in stock form.
Random question, why does it have an aircon switch with climate control? or was the climate added after? Mine just has the fog light switch on the far right side.
When your ready on the T56, mal wood is the guy to call. Very happy with mine!

Don't mind the SS Rims, better than the hubcaps it had when bought, lol. cant afford new rims atm, but would be cool.
As for the aircon switch, yeah thats there from when I put the climate in. had to leave something there otherwise it looked stupid, havn't got around to working out what to do with it yet.
T56 would be awesome! but need some cash. How did u go woth yours Stealthy, was it hard to do, like I guess u need a custom bell housing and shorter tail shaft? Read somewhere on this site that u should change diff gears or something? U know anything about that?
Thanks dude, yeah I didnt want to get it on gas, left it until 2 weeks ago, petrol is just too damn expensive. $110 a week compared to $50. But it goes really hard on gas still. Didn't think it would, as my old VP whent like a heap of crap on gas, but yeah goes well. Still flick it over to petrol sometimes for a bit of a kick lol!
Mal Wood supplies you with a kit with everything you need. Comes with the spacer on the bellhousing so it bolts up, and you can keep cable clutch if you want to (i did)
Tail shaft is the same, the only time you need to change tail shafts is when your converting from auto - manual.
I have 3.73 diff gears, and he said 3.9s or 4.11s are recommended, but i just kept the 3.73s for now.
