    Looks neat and tidy, quite like the stealth look with out all the add ons that come with an SS.

    havnt really taken any notice of the tacho other than at 110 in 6th its sits just below 2g only really changed them for the "torque" increase the only thing is 1st gear is really short.

    Is your car legal with the ultras in the rear? Just curious to know because I really want ultras but don't want any trouble with the cops

    its deffinatly not legal but have no issuse with cops what so ever, it does scrape some places but only where the exhaust goes under the diff, it used to rub on the rear bumbper but only cause it has fedral 245 45 tyres on the rear i would never go back to superlows thats for sure

    Rido then, I ordered ultra lows all round a couple I days ago and I'm pretty keen to get them seeing as though your car turned out pretty wicked

    Very nice m8. Good choice of wheels (looks the same colour as mine). Should be a beasty with the cam and stroked. Had any quotes on the leather retrim? Got some quotes to retrim mine all were around $2800.00 including door cards and front/ rear seats so expect to pay around that for good quality leather. Heres a link to an interior seat designer that can help ya with colours etc. Just pick any model car as the seats are all the same on the selector..cheers

    I agree, black over red... but you could always do it in a grey to compliment the outside, sounds like its going to be a beast when you are finished! Keep up the good work.

    found some black vz leather with door trims and r8 steering wheel in really good condition today so most likely going down that track, should be a fairly tough car when its done, aiming for the 420-450 hp mark
