    What filter do u run on the trumpets? Like the socks they run on webber carbs? Gota be happy with that mate!!
    Vids please
    Ye besides the holes from airbox, module, cruise the actual paint is pretty good. I wouldn’t mind fillin the holes and sprayin the towers again one day.
    Ill get some pics of the filters, when they are on the car it reminds me a V8 supercar bay haha, sept more shiny shit lol

    Cheers man, i went the black braided hose to break up all shiny plus it matchs the trumpets. Wont lie, they are a c**t to use. Because they are fibre and not stainless steel they make it harder to work it. I got the radiator hose from VPW in epping. Its looks good but i had one for the bottom hose and i couldn’t get it to seal and it had pin hole leaks (brand new) VPW wouldn’t give me a refund after i threw it at the guys face.

    You start to appreciate other peoples work after you’ve done your own. You understand the amount of bullshit they would of gone through just to do something that looks simple.

    this is the build of my car. we all have cars that we consider our baby, and for me that has always been my caprice. i didnt know this car was going to become such a part of who i am. it changed the way i look at cars. it changed the way that people look at me. guessing to many it was just another holden on the bandwagon. this car has led me to some of the greatest friendships i have today, actually all of the friendships I have today have some rooting involved with this car. i honeslty lost all hope that this car would ever make it back on the road during the build. i was having nothing but dramas. but my mates were always there helping me. All i wanted to do was to inspire people. If you can dream it, you can live it. If this car makes even just one person want to go to the shed and start working on their car then everything ive done, all the time, blood, sweat and tears is worth it.

    enjoy guys

    your not wrong! its amazing how something so miniscul could have taken a shit load of time

    Q: how does the smaller trumpets compare to the larger ones? any difference in power? i believe the range would alter a fair bit due to the runner length change.

    quick update.

    not much news. battery went flat cause i left the damn acces lights on, so its sittin on charge atm.


    now since i got it back theres a few problems ive gotta fix (which is why i havent driven it yet)
    1. Accel Cable gets jammed on throttle body
    2. Lost Power Steering
    3. Alte sounds Hammered and its brand new


    theres more little things, but they are the main things. tonight i pulled off the orginal bracket for the accel cable and worked out dimensions for the new bracket which my brother will make up. the power steering i have no idea why it isnt working. im going to jack it up and see if its been bled properly failin that im going to weight out my options to get a new power steerin pump vs. gettin a non power steering rack. ill keep you update as i go on.
