Your luck as one of the better painters is in your area

(On Day road)Not sure of the name of the shop but i will ask Bruce tomorrow but theirs no one better with trim than Peter at Trimcare, see Wheelspin for lots of pretty stuff and the ugly bald guys at SST can make the power to match the looks.

Join the New club and display your car as part of the team.Good luck with your project.

OK From what I have seen at the auto salons they are not really concerned about performance unless you have a 800 KW monster! Pauls pulled 400 and got a small trophy just like what i got at motorvation, kinda means not that much.. anyways unfortunately i spent most of my $$$ on power 4 shows later a small trophy and couple of photo shoots and that really all i have had for $50 K now if i wanted a show car like what you are tlkaing about spend a few grand on the generals as listed but spend $$ polishing engine bay, paint and interior as you have alreay said. most of all... BE CREATIVE! THAT IS HOW YOU WILL WIN! so if your after performance don't expect much if you want looks then you will win in shows but not much street cred!... anyways all the bost, my interior was done by classic auto trimmers i think in morley. mechanics by PSI performance, SST and turbo help from Grant at Performaz next to SST. I use Alpha 1 panel and paint in Osborne Park.

Hope this helps

just my 2.2 cents

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
