Yeah, I cant wait to see the solar lights!

  How about a bonnet emblem with a light in it powered by solar.

Went to Ipswich today and picked up my goodies, the ceramic coating on the extractors looks great so glad i didn't just paint them now, I was looking forward to putting the manifold together but  nobody stocks injector seal kits so i'm going to have to be patient and wait.

wow mate, such a change in your attitude from being "satisfied" to being "totally satisfied" and doing things how you really like. They look awesome. So much so that I am going to look into who does this stuff in the area. The forum always throws up things and helps people go in the right direction, which hopefully is better quality and safety.

That looks fantastic. 
It is amazing how much heat they keep in.

I might try insulative paint on the roof of my shed, except in reverse before the sheets go on.

Unfortunately i bought some off e-bay before i read this, highly unlikely the local blokes would have any anyway really that's the only disadvantage to living in a one horse town.

Now your talking with some bling

I love bling i've always chromed lots of stuff on the bikes i've built over the years, the old girls going to look as flash as a rat with a gold tooth

Where did u see that.... the rat that is

Hi, I was thinking of your dilemma with the injectors and now you will be kicking yourself regarding your setup choice (especially after u hear my budget idea).   I was doing some research and came up with a very good idea if you still have your grey laying around. I thought if you use these turbo's all you will need to do is run blow through adapter on the 3 strommy manifold and there you have. You could run a big alternator and twin dry batteries, with the solar  and it should work perfectly! It will also run the bling lights in the back.

What do you think? Bloody ingenious. I am looking into an engineers cert for the ride on..... .... ......

[pedro]

Went over the paint shop today and fitted the extractors and manifold, thought i'd better do it before the guards go on so i don't scratch them, the crap everywhere is just bog dust.







He now has nearly everything straightened and in two pack primer so it should only be a week or so till she's done





It's a bit hard to see but i also got him to roll the lip on the guard so it won't catch on the tyre.

Very pretty..


close now..

[pedro]

Been thinking about one of these aftermarket throttle bodies as they are a lot better looking than the original, they come in 65, 70 and 80 mm. sizes, they don't have the bit on the bottom for water flow but that could be bypassed, i gather it isn't necessary or it would have it, what's you opinion Pete being the resident RB expert.

Forgot the pic.

Xf falcon was  always a good one to use ill see if I threw the modified maninold I had for a xf one.

Too late anyway allready made your intake pipe 
Gts cam is a better bang for buck .
They are sold as a series 2  or skyline silhouette cam

[pedro]

I was thinking of it more for looks than power Pete the original one is hard to polish up as it has lots of ribs and nooks and crannies, the intake pipe would still fit up to the rubber adaptor wouldn't it, I suppose the $170 would be better spent on something more important at the moment anyway though.
Thanks for making the intake pipe for me mate let me know how much and i'll do a direct deposit with the dough for the other bits you've sent too.

All good pedro i just have to weld on the flange for the plug lead holster.

[pedro]

Got most of my chrome back today the steel stuff is great but they have been having a lot of trouble with the die cast stuff, I get the feeling they haven't done a lot of it as there are still some sections that look a little lumpy like they haven't been grinding the old stuff out properly.





Pedro

Hey pedro, looking good mate you are getting close.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did all the chrome work cost(looks like just about everything except grill)?? I would like to get all my chrome done but have heard I won't get any change from 6-7 g from our local guy, would love to know if I can get a quality job done a lot cheaper.

Cheers
