    Lol there's always something to upgrade ...

    I have no real use for big brakes , I don't drive like an idiot on the streets and don't do track work so can't justify spending money on bigger at this stage , in the future well who knows.

    Still need to finish tranny cooler lines , power steering bottle , heater hoses , powder coat blower , fill with fluids , wire in battery to boot , triple check fuel system then hope for the best.

    Thanks to James welding skills I have myself a custom set of fuel rails , spent the day polishing those and all the brackets for the bay.
    Just got a few hoses and powder coat the blower to do and its ready for cooler pipes then fire up :)

    Wow, looks amazing. Should paint the over flow lid body colour to help hide it a bit. Probably not a huge concern though, lol.

    Great work.

    BTW, has your passenger side airbag cover always been perfect or have you fixed it during this rebuild ?

    It was the only thing on my interior that wasnt perfect , that and the fact someone had superglued the dash mat down , I found a perfect 25i dash and airbag cover for $80 :eek: so now its basically a flawless interior and hopefully stay that way :)

    25i is the blue grey colour interior for VS , 15i is the light grey alternative in VS.

    Needed smaller battery and the old 1500 is about 10 years old so kinda don't wanna trust it to last.
    Washer bottle to mount in the boot next to battery out of my way aswell.

    Got the tranny lines finished off and heater hoses on.

    New drive belt , just had to get a pic of pretty motor :)

    [​IMG]

    In the future I will do something about all the pulleys ,try make them all look the same , for now I just want it running !
