Hi everybody Just a few small things. Powdercoating came back . I fitted a high flow K&N element to the air cleaner . Made a bracket to hold the coil which now hides under the air cleaner. Lead brackets blend into the extractors making the leads dissapear very happy with them. I had to drill the rocker cover thread out to fit the breather. That was daunting. Hope it works as it looks smick very happy with it.     Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk |

Today would of been a ripper day down here for a cruise.. When its a nice day it alway makes me think of every one and their completed cars.. hopefully enjoying the shit out of them.. I havent started the wiring . I have changed my mind 10 times how im going to do it.. Today was rainy and overcast so cleaned the shed and played with the kids. I havent been out much at all works busy so thats where my time goes. Took a friends car to the drags ran a 9.2 then a 8.8 over the quarter back to the drags saturday . Shes a little datto 1600 running a turbo LS 850rwhp on a mild tune.  Also helped a stranded fc ute fitted a new diff centre for him  Also we dynoed a mates eh i did a bit of work on. It has a rb20det which i paid 100 dollars for 7 yrs ago . Absolute lucky dip engine unknown condition rolled out 193rwhp drives fantastic. So i do keep busy just not on my own toys. |

pete I had to use a XD falcon motor as vr commodore didn't come through the fire wall enough. It looks in the pictures that you may strike the same problem.

You could also put the mounting plate [or another] on the inside . Haydn

I have modified the original vr arm to fit the fc parts. Should work.

That's very similar to what I did Pete I think I used two nuts to gain more distance into the cab and it works fine.
