hodge Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I started am single build just after xmas and got it fired up the other day. Sounds amazing. All the work has been done by myself infact ive done the whole car myself to be fair. Still a long way to go yet though. Got the emu to fit. The injectors to change and a boot build to do all before may. Oh and sorry about the picture quality. finally this is the car in the 1 day of sun we had last year lol.

paul mac Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Certainly am jay. I'm hoping I can get a year or 2 out of the autobox so I can save my pennys up for the bits. with the spec you have there mate i think the manual conversion needs to be sooner rather than later, or if you cant afford that then a 4000rpm hi stall converter to at least give you some performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Cheers for the comments guys. Didn't know you had a template col. It was pretty easy to mate really. You got any other shiney stuff lying around. Haha you were right when I bought my can covers from you a couple of years back when you said it was adictive oh my god it seems more like an obsession now.
