New radiator in. I accidently ordered the 42mm radiator instead of a 52mm. However its seemed to have worked out so far and ive even been able to keep the fan shroud in there nicely

there is room for more shelves Scottie........dooooooo eeeeettt

Radiator is sweet. Keep cooling fan shroud as it helps keep things........well cool

Its a spare one i have lying around.. Ive got one on the car. May install a dual system if needed down the line
ok good.

Additional oil coolers will certainly help ie diff / transmission cooler etc...

Went for a few short drives today to test out the new radiator and make sure it was working fine. First lap ended up in ditching the car in favour of walking to get more coolant. But after i topped it up it has been fine since.

Also these arrived today

Fark those tyres must have cost a penny or two... I considered buying a pair of 16" wheels once, just to get away with paying for a smaller tyre. So many golds.

$355 each! Was only going to save about $10-$15 each if i went to a smaller rim. As i already had a pair of 17's at home I thought this is the cheapest option for now and would be a good indicator of where the traction is at and if I need to go smaller

Even with the 255/60/15 version of those I'm still baking 3rd lol

Wow! Thats interesting as thats a pretty big side wall. Hopefully these work out a lot better for me. I might give them a few KM of street driving and testing before Powerplay on May 10th.

The thing i like about the 17's is they arent so in your face as a 255/60/15 if you know what I mean? I like to keep a good street look about it and not have 15" steelies on the rear with big ass tread. But for track work I guess it could be alright.

Tune day confirmed tomorrow at 10am! Was going to drive the car down to the Gold Coast for it, however with it being Easter holidays and increased police presence I thinking trailer might be the better option. Cant afford the double fine and double points lol

    • Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
