Been a while since a update but thats because nothing has really changed, on both test and tunes this year i have driven the car out there to race but it had problems, first one the boost controller screwed up on the way there and was running 19+ psi again, so i didn't risk running. On the second one it developed a knocking/rattling noise on deceleration on the way out there. I was hoping the pressure plate had come loose again. I pulled the gearbox out this arvo and the pressure plate was still tight but the rubbers on the clutch fork are non existant and the throw out bearing seems really flogged out, hopefully thats where the noise is coming from.
Don't know what im going to do with it now, i will either get a new clutch, throw out bearing and rubbers for the clutch fork and put it back together (just to get that 12 second timeslip) or slap a auto back into it put the engine back to stock and sell it and sell off the turbo gear and inlet manifold individually to help fund the hr holden im doing up.

Gotta **** ya when things go wrong before you race, fix her up and it will do a 12sec pass for sure.

I have decided to put the an auto back in, i have put a vette servo, 0.500 boost valve and a transgo shiftkit in a auto i had sitting beside the driveway and am halfway through preping the wagon back to auto specs. Next i need to decide on what diff gears will suit then look into a converter to suit.

The auto is in and running, from the short drive i went on the shifts feel firm and box feels tight, screamer pipe is loud.

Started making some new manifolds.

My current setup will be for sale soon, including twin throttle setup. Everything except Turbo, intercooler, oil pipes and tune.
