Cheers mate. Shows the old Stip Dominator manifold you sold me aint too bad for power. And yeah my tune was long over due

What does 232.8 rwkw equate to at the flywheel? In horsepower of course.

BlueKoop · 09-11-2008, 05:31 PM

Rough guess going through a auto and a 9 inch around 400hp i think?

BlueKoop · 02-12-2008, 04:11 PM

OK some quick pics before i rip the interior out to get done...... also a pic of my quicksilver shifter install.... was quite a bit of dicking round to get it to sit nice in the console. Will be getting the plate in the console done in the same silver as the dash.

(yes i will be changing the wheel)

Your car gets thumbs up from me, i can't beleive i've never seen it before :S fantastic! the custom dash look really good, what size are the disc rotors on the back? because i want some next yr, still got drums on mine,bw diff, will fitting these bring my wheels out toward the guards? becuse i've got bugger all clearance like 1cm

BlueKoop · 10-12-2008, 12:20 AM

Cheers mate really appreciate it. I dont really have a proper build thread... could make one with all the pics I have.... just never got round to it.

The diff is just a disk brake nine inch with standard size rotors and standard calipers. Disks are just good ol DBA golds. So the spacing will be the same on your car with the 9 inch and with the borgwarner.... you could try to hunt down a 9 inch out of a xy they were a little shorter.

Teaser pic of what is to be installed in the next few days.... FINALLY

XA_GT351 · 23-12-2008, 10:10 PM

one question..can they fit into my sedan?.. DAMN

BlueKoop · 26-12-2008, 12:02 PM

OK been busy putting it all back in.... takes so so so much longer to put in and be careful. I have gone through half a box of medical gloves being careful not to get the seats dirty...(they mark hell easy) Only thing left to do now is sort out my door trims... just waiting on the fastener store to open on Monday so I can figure out how im going to mount my inside door handles.

Pearly · 26-12-2008, 08:54 PM

They look awesome mate. However, they are going to get real dirty real quick.
Mine aren't white (light tan) and they mark so easy. I drove around in it just sitting
on the bare seat at first, but quickly got tired of cleaning the seat after every drive!
So I had the trimmer stitch up a quick set of throw over covers for the front seats
and some floor mats which all come off and into the boot as soon as I arrive at any
show. I highly recommend you do the same unless you want to clean them after
every drive!

agony · 26-12-2008, 09:12 PM

Trim looks fantastic. Lovely bright colour but Im with Pearly they are going to get dirty real quick. Glad its you doing the cleaning and not me.

Tribal · 26-12-2008, 11:22 PM

Very tidy interior mate - nice work

BlueKoop · 27-12-2008, 01:26 AM

LOL everyone ive shown has told me that its going to be a to keep clean. and throw over covers are a definate!!! (Even tho I hate them). Also its alot easier to clean as its vynal not leather. Have you guys scotch guarded your interior??? Im thinking it might be a good idea.

BTW thanks heaps for the compliments, coming from Pearly and agony means heaps as you two have two of my favorite cars in here.

**gregaust** · 27-12-2008, 10:34 AM

Try a product called "ARCO" i get from mitre 10 hardware is a general/upholstery cleaner will work good on there . A trimmer put me onto it years ago.

Pearly · 27-12-2008, 07:02 PM

I didn't get mine guarded, probably should have though.

BlueKoop · 28-12-2008, 02:06 PM

Ok after hours of polishing and cleaning my engine bay is almost ready for the nats. While I has at it I gave my grille a fresh coat of paint.

XA_GT351 · 28-12-2008, 02:59 PM

mate! that engine bays sweet as.. you should re oil the k&n filters freshens them up

. the filter on the rocker cover, there so hard to take off!. i nearly destroyed mine in the process, had to soften the grommet up with a heat gun, you couldn't have done much better with the engine bay.

BlueKoop · 29-12-2008, 08:22 PM

Well the door cards and Billet Specialties gear is on. Also done polishing 98% of the car...... and I got to see the lot in the sun for the first time!!

Now onto polishing the wheels.... Anyone who has ever owned full polished simmons knows the pain iim about to go through
