Hi everyone!

Given that I already have the widebody kit, who would you recommend in Sydney to do a great job fitting it? Peter @ Bodyform is highly recommended for general fibreglass work but I wasn't sure if he does widebody conversions as well..

So does anyone have any experience with any companies (either good or bad - I want to hear both ends of the spectrum!) who regularly do this?

Thanks!

Peter has come on board and now is sponsoring our racecar. His work is a very high standard and we are very pleased to be associated with him.

another vote for Bodyform

What work is he doing on your car (specific if possible!) ?

lots..one piece sideskirts, garage saurus front lower lip, new N1 front bumper vents, gannador aero mirrors, Top Secret rear underbody diffuser and lining the rear interior with carbon panels.

we had his custom sideskirts fitted but they dont suit the car due to its high ride height due to the drag racing suspension set-up. So we are going back to an N1 style skirt...but one piece Bodyform ones.

Wow, that sounds terrific! Roughly how long do you expect all of that to take from start to finish for Peter to do? I've heard that while he is a master at his work, he is pretty unreliable with time frames :-(

cant put a time limit on perfection bud

what demo car????

im mates with both Bassa and Louis so I've got no bias either way

ive never seen a bad job come from Louis

I second that, Louis does awesome work..

I think he is reffering to Loius's stretch ute.. which was still in primer last time I saw it.

he takes awhile, had the s15 in there a long time (original vertex kit going on too, so you know ;) )

exclusive colours arnt as good as 2 sus :D

HAHA yeah thats what happens when you get your mates to do your car,should be ready in the next week or so,it will be worth the wait though

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
