Just did the usual really custom mounts, all new water lines, bashed the firewall for the dizzy, had a bellhousing made up, still using the fwd inlet tho need to get it chopped and swapped but good things take time.

Hello and welcome, Your car looks awesome have you got any more pics ?

No not really sorry i actually brought the car with the motor in it, it just needed to be finished which i have pretty much done over the last year or so just a couple little bits and pieces need doing before i can say its fully finished

Previous owner shared all his secrets with me so i know how it was put together i just don't have any pics of it lol

Thanks guys I can't tell you how much it means to find a group of people that actually appreciate and are interested in my car, usually if I post up anything about my car on a forum I seem to get black listed and people will just ignore me or post smart comments which imply I am a liar and the car doesn't exist:(

If you guys are interested i have some videos from a track day a couple of weeks ago(first picture was taken in the pits at that track day), we had major problems with boost creep and hitting the fuel cut so we had to drive watching the boost gauge instead of the tacho, we basicly had to just cruise down the back straight so was good but frustrating day:)
