    And the water pump is gone too.......holdens cooling systems are shite. Once one component goes it seems the others follow. Had the same problems with the wife's executive

    Parts are starting to pile up. Got to pick the springs up tomoro and still waiting for the evotrac2 kit to arrive then the bushes and suspension can be put on. Was away for work for one week and when I came home my battery was dead flat. Need to take it on a decent drive to charge. Just hope the electrics are fine

    Ok so I'm still waiting for the strut mounts from nolathane. I was meant to get it mafless tuned this week. Car broke down over the weekend so back to my mechanic she went. So I got a call yesterday as I was getting off the plane. Turns out a couple of valve springs broke.......FML
    The rate this bloody motor is going ill never get it tuned

    Valve springs are done. Got my mechanic to give it a mafless tune too. First dyno read 344hp. Not too bad I suppose
    Will see if he can squeeze anymore out

    Looks like 260kw or 350hp is all he could get. Not bad considering its a really small cam. Not sure if I wanna spend much more money on the engine. Still need to sort the body kit and suspension. Also been looking at the vf r8 sv clubby......very tempting. After about 9-12 months saving I could have the money for one if I sell the ss. See what happens
