LOL shut up. Me wanty already.... Bank account currently not as healthy as it once was!!! If I get one of these I want it to be ADR (or whatever they are called) approved too....

I do love it though :P

lol - the lads at dickson pits had no issues when i went over. There only concern is that its secured properly and the Pins wont cause extra damage to the pedestrians as they hit the front of the car and roll up the bonnet...

Might be a case of who you get on the day. I worded them up about this maybe 2 years ago when I had to get some damage repaired on my bonnet (something flew off a truck and hit me!) and they said they wouldn't pass me and it wasn't legal unless I could prove it was ADR approved...

It's ok, I have done enough to how my car looks for now!

Heavens forbid they cop a bit of a skin rash on the way up and over!

Cops have told me that carbon fibre/fibre glass bonnets are now a defectable item when i got pulled over for RBT. He also said if traffic pulled me over at defect station it would be a fine and a trip to the pits just for having a carbon fibre bonnet. I'm looking for a new bonnet as my current one had cracks in it from prev owners damage, but they are only surface cracks, but I'm saving for holiday currently.

I think it's defectable because it has not been engineered/approved for the car.

Something like, the bonnet meets ADR specifications but the modification of the car has not been passed by an engineer and ACT Roads.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
