Car looks great mate.... especially like your seats, they look super comfy from the pics.
Can a wade 992a be installed with a rocker ratio of 1.8? i thought that would be too high and 1.7 were the option when changing camshaft ..... You've probably done your calculations .... good news if the 1.8's are ok.

I have looked at the wade 992a .... but with doing all the supporting mods ... and the price involved, i been leaning towards FI instead ..... anyway, if you install your 70mm mace TB before i get one be sure to post up how it goes as our cars a similar and i would be very interested.

TBH mate im not 100% sure. Id rather go for the the higher comp rockers, but i guess my builder will tell me yay or nay.
Im not really interested in FI. I want to build a NA V6 that will match it with the 5ltrs

Ill let you know how the throttlebody goes when i go for it

Bought one of these in 260w RMS to swap out for my current 120w amp.

Not sure what im doing with my Pioneer GM-3300T. Probably going to give it to my brother to run his 6x9s in payment for helping me install the new amp

Few updates.

Redid my boot install the other day:

Also picked up my new head unit today

And something that happened on the way home from work:

Not happy. Seems like a nice 1.5 screw fell in love with one of my nankangs

Looks hell thrasher copbait now

Anyone reckon that looks repairable. Dont really want to fork out for a new nankang

did it go straight into the tyre? from the pic it looks like its almost sideways but these things are usually repairable, just when you go near the edges it gets a bit hairy but still repairable i found out

yeah went straight in from the looks of it, but at an angle.

Havent got a clue how they fix them, but if they cant i guess im footing the $150 bill for another nankang

Tyre was unrepairable. Ended up with a new tyre and a front wheel alignment while it was in

as if were did u take it. that should have been repairable, i have repaired worse it wasnt to close to the wall n the tire was in good nick. and next time u change tires go sumfin besides nankang

Im guessing the inner sidewall was stuffed coz u drove on it? thats pretty bad luck.

I got a puncture the other day on my brand new 20" tyre that was also unrepairable.

sidewalls looked ok to me. Screw was angled inwards, not outwards
