[Killr6]

looks like an awesome project you got there mate.

lol @ the camber, are your springs ####ed or something?

[scott-95]

ha nah mate,
I have the axle's out, no shokcks, and the rear ends all just hand tight bolts just so i can roll it round till my diff is ready shes quite bouncey if you jump in the wheel well haha gets up off the ground....

[scott-95]

Okay well, ive thought about posibly saving some coin, the car has auto peddle setup already, and i was thinking of dropping my 4L60E out of my smashed VR if its posible?
i only know of changing the bellhousing is anythig elce needed?
Still deciding on LS1 or ecotec tho!
4L60E specs's why its worth the work..
Fully Manualised 4L60E with extra top gear clutches, beast sunshell, Billet Servo, Alto Carbon band, 3000rpm stall convertor, vacuum modulator, no longer electronically controlled.

If you go LS1 go for a manual dude.

[Wombles]

Nice work so far!

[scott-95]

just wanting to know what i gotta change to make it fit!

[Sabbath']

Sabbath, i have a good chance for a permit to drive high powerd.. i have done all the reserch on that..

And you think that being on "Good Behaviour Already" is going to go in your favour when you apply for the permit?

[Reaper]

Sabbath, i have a good chance for a permit to drive high powerd.. i have done all the reserch on that..

Am interested to hear what grounds you could get that for a daily driven car???

[Whitesack07]

i just got a permit to drive a v8 cause its our only family car, im on my greens, got a clean record an ive only just got it, chances are with a good behavior bond you more then likely wont get it

[scott-95]

i can use only car, retested at my house, (2 houses in faimly.. woo!) and work need's as in need to drive customers home in there cars etc.. some being high powered
if i cant get it im not worried it will be driven...

Your research doesn't guarantee it. Theres more going against you than you know.

Very impressed with the build though.
How come you didnt get the holes in the bay filled in?
And where did you relocate the fusebox and abs?

[scott-95]

aware, but im not bothered if i get it or not..
Fusebox is working into behind font right guard, abs i am able to put under the dash (What ive been told at work) yet to figure it out but im in no rush.. haha

I filled a fair few.. had to create some for items i need in there tho.. and left a few just cause i was lazy,.. aha im thinking of doing the rest cause paling on changing the car's paint all over anyways..

[Kernal]

Cool cool.

Dont forget to post up pics of the relocation process. A lot of people on there are interested, including myself!!

What did you use to fill them?

[scott-95]

yeah i will when i do it, its a huge task from what i have been told! yay!

to shave what you see is gone, i used a cutof disk on a grinder, then a flappy pad to smooth it right back, then welded steel plates on the underside of any holes left after everything was removed, then just bogged over it primed thhen spayed white paint is not the same as outside car just a white i slapped up from paint sitting around

[scott-95]

Picked up a VT-S2-Alcalaim or whatever tonight, this shell might be given away depending on how i feel about continuing this engine bay.. Free bare shell would anyone be interested? ether this one or standard one..
