cheers everyone for the comments and Todd for the pics well been a while since ive updated......... well reason why as its been sat at home doing nothing ha decided to be safe and not drive it, drove it this morning too work but stopped at hi tech on the way down looked over my money and im squeezing my budget, booked the car in for thursday too get tuned any who a random pic from the photo shoot night a while back
well well well, no much once again but may aswell give that little insight from after the tune drive much better now, no flat spot and the boost is up a little on about 5.5psi and made 129.9rwkw been driving as a daily now and its nice yo be back in it again for good
a little update on whats the hap been driving the car every where, done two long country runs - Mannum and goolwa it was nice on the freeways and smooth finally managed to get a full tank of fuel in, took close too 20 minutes though as once you fill over half way it will say its full and kick fuel out and slowly go down so had all look at all the breathers and the all in the right order...... out of the full tank i got 550km. so not bad at all for christmas my Girlfriend bought me some goodies new kenwood cd player, with ipod, usb functions and a Boost guage all wired up nicely, gauge lights up blue when ignition is on and when you turn the lights on it will dim yesterday was looking through insurance and agree value, happy with shannons, put it this way, insured for enough to let me buy a ve from a local holden dealer - all parts and mods covered plus excess only $850ish the engien is leaking oil from somewhere also, so today im going to have a look and see what it can do
+1 on the engine bay looks insane hope ya get that fuel problem fixed. lol i took the ute to mannum over new years drove home with no power steering as i blew it haha was a b!tch to drive
Again, agree with the boys...! That engine bay is beautiful... And ya gotta love girlfriends and their need to buy 'presents' hey, lol, I'm not sure if you're a good influence, or a bad influence on me..?! Got the VH off the lawn - FINALLY, (her sitting spot for the last two years or so) with the intentions of doing a V6 conversion to her. Although the engine bay isn't painted, is it?! :devil: So now with no dash / heater / A/C / Or any thing else in the engine bay, I'm attempting to pull off something similar to what you have - If I get any where near what yours is i'll be more than happy! :smoking: So far only stripped it, knocked the unknown 'dent' out of the drivers inner guard and removed the battery box/holder - Which still needs to be welded up. So looks like i'm in for some cutting/welding/bogging/sanding lol, :wax: What did you do around the strut towers, where they meet the inner guards? I want to 'smooth' it out, but not sure if i'll have to weld it all the way around to avoid cracking..? :hmmm: What do you rekon?
