    Thanks for the comments. The dash gets scratched very easy. I did it a bit dodgy but when i can be stuffed ill take it out and do it properly.

    Yeah mate, just standard super lows in it. I want to get ultra lows put in the back cuz it sits a bit high. Unfortunatly the camber is pretty bad even with a camber kit but i guess im stuck with it.

    Its got the the two screws up where the dials are, then you should be able to lever it out. Do it slowly so nothing cracks and just disconnect the wires as you go. Good luck mate.

    Been along time since I posted in here but im currently getting the Engine and Auto rebuilt. Engine is getting Stage 3 cam, Chiptorque Chip, ACL Race series pistons, and some Head work. Auto is getting Stage 2 shift kit, Hi-stall (prolly 2,200) and all the other usual bits and pieces to make a good auto. Im also gettin Pacemakers put on it but the rest of the exhaust might change to a twin cat setup, but were still workin that out for now. Hopefully i get it back early next week. Should be good fun and abit more powerful thatn the stocky.

    Well i got it back yesterday after the rebuild and its sooo much better, pulls heaps hard and i havent even used full throttle yet. There is a problem with the idle atm but i looks like the chip will be sent to chiptorque to be modified. The 1st to 2nd gear change is heaps punchy. Have to get it serviced after 1000k's then ill really be able to test it out. Cant wait!!!!

    Ive put a about 3,000k's on this thing now and it hauls. Idle is still playin up but were workin on it, it still looks like it will be the chip but time will tell. Hopefully lined up a LSD for it too and should be upgrading the brakes around tax time. Overall im pretty happy with the car now, it keeps up with V8 pretty easily. It made 128 rwkws on the dyno but they said it was a low reading so ill have to get a proper figure sometime soon.

    Did you get the exhaust before or after most of that work?
    If before did you lose any bottom end?
