went and booked the car in to have the 5 stud conversion done on friday so wheels will be on for the weekend .............. work meister 18x8 +18 offset

went out to the drags sat nite (sitting in the stands isn't as exciting as racing) and after seeing cal-a-kids torana, the bug has bitten again so will be getting car retuned with the new injectors and have the launch control & electronic boost controller setup in the next few months. when i head back out to the strip i will be putting standard suspension back in the rear to help with traction. and almost forgot i still have to get a 4 POINT HARNESS (damn new rules )
will post up some pics when it's all done

well been a busy weekend,
put 4 point harness'in on friday.
went out to the drags to give the car a run before the rebuild, didn't go that great. even put on some semi slicks, they helped a lot on the launch but my mph was way lower compared to the last time.
today had a new 3 inch stainless exhaust built ( sounds heaps better and no more dodgy pipe work) and just finished gutting the interior of everything except the dash & a seat.
car is off to xtreme motorsport in the morning for the motor & gearbox to be removed. hope to have the car fully striped by tomorrow night ready for sanding.
here are a few pics
