^^^ keep it silver. your car looks smooth and clean. keep it looking that way

Thanks mate. Im thinking silver aswell. Black will attract abit too much attention from the po po I think.

I have a pic of the bonnet...

Its pretty aggressive but not over the top I dont think.

Impulse by it came up by chance.

Once its on the front end will be complete :P

And yeh I agree I like the standard lights better. The LED ones actually played up and have been sent back for repairs.

Nice bonnet! Is that a Blitz item?

Granthem, is the bonnet alloy?

Its very very similar to my one - dad custom made it, test run on a yellow one (34 gtt, [eximporters]), then final one on ezy34. He cut up the original bonnet - crazy man.

To be honest I am not sure. I got told fibreglass, but its painted on top and underneath so its hard to tell. However I am thinking its fibreglass.

Its quite heavy, very solidly built. But yeh it came off a Yellow GTT, so who knows maybe its ended up here?

Either way its well built, nice and smooth on the surface.

Its not a Blits bonnet no, but it is very alike. Obviously it has the two extra vents at the back, and they also "bulge". Not too much, just a little bit. so it should give the bonnet abit more shape and character.

Im just abit worried that the front vents are abit too far back for the purposes of rain... and leaking into the engine bay

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
