Dead serious?!!!!! Holy hell, best bargain i think i have ever heard of!!!!
Well done man, where you crapping yourself when cutting a giant hole in the roof?

well... cutting a great hole in your roof isnt the most enjoyable experience! lol but it all worked out good in the end. Measurements were made and rechecked numerous times before any cuts were made. all sealed up properly and not one air leak or water leak.

yea i was stoked with the price i was charged, i expected at least a couple hundred bucks.

Very nice looking, love the sunroof an colour. Wouldn't mind that kind of power in my car. How much did your tune set you back if you don't mind me asking?

Big cam and upgraded valve train components are all in!

Tune, and hopefully more power on the way.

to describe the sound it makes in one word... lumpy! lol

oh yeah... shes cammed mate! lol. i thought i updated this thread???

Anyway, i upgraded all valve train components and put in a nice lumpy cam. off the top of my head its about a 225deg @ .050".

Put her on the dyno for a tune and she reeled off 179 @ the wheels. i was expecting for like 165ish... but im still happy with that all the same!

Then a few weeks ago she started running sh!t, after heaps of searching i discovered that i had a broken valve spring. Which i was very angry about! But to their credit, Crow came to the party and replaced the damaged parts at no cost to me.

Thats the story in short! lol

Feel free to come for a chat if you see me at c4c
