    well spent a few hours today removing my clutch fan and wiring up some twin AU thermos. needed a bit of trimming to fit in there, but was fairly easy. its fitted up to a switch temporarily, will get a Davies craig thermo switch or something later.

    got some pics of my 20's. crap pics, but i couldnt be bothered moving my car. i'll get some good ones later.

    well did some dyno runs today to see what she makes before the blower, top run was 131.5rwkw. i was pretty impressed with that, engine is stock. i dynoed a VR calais 5L which made 109rwkw.

    i cant wait to see the AFTER results :D

    VS S-pak Ute 5L
    Hey mate car looks very clean, great job! Looks like it could sit a bit lower just looking at the pics, I love the 2 tone as mentioned by others but also love the body coloured door strips, I have an 'S pak' ute with red strips and don't love the look of them but I don't like the big hole that is left by stripping them so I'm thinking about getting calais strips and getting them painted the same as my ute... Anyway this is about your car. LOVE IT.

    Dude, you have extractors/exhaust & tune???? You would of easily made 145-155rwkw

    Then it'd be worthy of a blower...

    Cheers

    here are some more goodies i am in the process of doing

    [​IMG]

    i test-fitted the charger, to get an idea of what pipes i would need to get, but i have decided i am going to get a cooler set up. just waiting on confirmation from a member on this site about one he is selling, so once that all goes ahead, i can get more bits and peices i need to finally run the thing.

    well bobtail is painted and fitted. really loving it. nothing but good comments on it.

    [​IMG]

    and my cooler is fitted too. its a 450x300, was easy as to fit, had to remove my a/c fan and move the condensor a bit, but besides1 that there is plenty of room. im glad i didnt go any bigger though. looks sweet as i reckon. i'm really happy with it. im thinking of getting some black mesh to hide it a bit, but i want a mesh that you can still see through. now all i need is to find a place that will do my piping.

    [​IMG]

    car is riding on stockies all round for the time being while i suss out some new tyres for the 20's. gave them a quick lick of paint too to neaten them up.

    Nice man looks like a easy fit do you think the next size up which is 600 mm instead of your 450 would be easy to fit?
