Really? didn't know a ripped seat could make your car un road worthy. My mum did mine too. Gotta love em. lol

Ah k. It looked like you modified a standard snorkel from a later model. I spose they're around the same price as SS induction 1s are?

yepp, i think it's under the grounds that you could get a belt or something stuck in a crash :?

i couldn't really say what the price would be but i'd asume they're about the same, mine was on the car when i got it

hey guys, over the time i've owned my car ( since october) this has happened probably 4 times but i put it down to being park on a hill, anyway the problem is if i start the car and move it (mainly when i'm mowing) when i go to start it to park it up again it. doesn't want to start, cranks over for about 5 seconds rather fast and then when it fires it doesn't want to run, it normally idles itself out but it wouldn't fix until i gvae it a little throtle yesterday, whats some ideas?

on monday i won myself a manual ecu for my car from a person local and i'll be picking it up on sunday, also had a chat to joe from cms about some plans for my motors,

at this stage it looks like a hybird head will be made to stage 3 head and cam. The bottom end will get an acl race rebuild and the motor will be put together by me and my brother, while the car is off the road, i will send the extractors and bbm off to get ceramic coated a nice gloss black and will spray the rocker cover sparkling burgundy

bodykit update

well the back of the rear bar is starting to take shape and starting to look nice, going to need some bog in a couple of places, need something abit firmer than fibreglass resisn to pour onto it

Image

will hopefully start of the sides tomorrow, and fix the tear that has come up in the side from something i don't know :evil:


2 more km and i'll have 195,000 kms on the clock
