Rims - 600

Stereo - 600

Boot - 100

Rb25 - 650

B&m shifter - 300

Ecu and loom - 400

Mail order tune - 200

VZ Ls1 and auto - 2800

Conversion - 6000

Gearbox mods - 2000

Cam & tune - 3000

Plus all the other misc crap, oil, filters, tyres, care products.... It's easy over 20 :(

Butttttttttt I'm with Matt

Lol once my mods went past the initial cost of the car i decided to ignore and keep going :P

I love the thing and its worth it every time I start it. As soon as it stops make me smile ill get rid of it (not gonna happen)

And that is why we do what we do! The minute you stop smiling you slap 2 snails down the side and you are good to go again :ph34r:

  • 2 weeks later...

Update:

Just got off the phone with a&t and they've informed me that the 1st and 4th bands in the gearbox are burnt (ie. f**ked) and will need replacing.... Great :(

second hand box would be cheaper at a guess mate.....

Gearbox is fixed! :woot:

Picking the thing up this afternoon, keen to see how she goes with the new Stallie, you guys know what this means....

I'll b at the drag day to keep all the six pots honest :banana:

(Although will probley still be stock motored ie no big cam/tune... Yet)

I'll organise some form of camera/video recording for the drag day. I'm sure one of the sau qld boys will be filming it anyway.

Ill post up my time slips when I eventually run it (ie the 29th, unless I go down to a test and tune for a bit of a practise run)

Holly mother of god, just got this thing back with the 3200 stall, FMVB and first gear. All I can say is wow... A launch from 1st gear without and foot brake stall it just flashes up and goes limiter in first and then limiter in second as it lays about 80m of black lines, I'm in shock, i love it.

These poor 235s just arnt up to the task anymore, and I may have to source some better tires for the drag day as these may aswell be plastic.

Big thanks to Trevor from A&T autos in toowoomba, great company to deal with and would recommend them to anyone chasing trans stuff in the area.

Tomorrow is my last day on my p plates, so keen to get rid of them an unleash "The Abomination" on the streets :devil:

    • Temporary. Sorry about the inconvenience while we sort some issues.
    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
