    Nice build dude. How does that bash bar fit? Does it replace what was originally there? Might look into getting one myself.

    Cheers bud and yer it replaces the original I made it so it bolts onto the front of the chassis rails
    the original did not fit my new bumper so this one gives it support as long as the other obvious advantages it has

    Its Been a While since I updated this so its fairly picture heavy

    After that last lydden Turbo left a large amount oil in every pipe it was connected to so that came off and went to be rebuild also found the manifold was cracked (tubular manifold thought it had lasted to long)

    [​IMG]

    Then added some cooling
    [​IMG]

    Had epic fun at driftland was my first time out on the wisefab which I found a little weird at first but once you get used to it even if you take all that lock out of the equation the car felt so much more settled and gripy plus I have such a small amount of Ackerman it doesn't seem to scrub much speed which is always fun :)
