meh it's already sold, some old dude's given me 50% non refundable deposit, just waitin on him to cough up the rest of it.

lol his got some wheels coming from jap his gunna be selling them white xd9s they are 17s but mad offsets

not a big change from what u have though but *meh*

think i saw ur mate at the gym with the white ford forgot his name so didnt say hello or nothin lolss

What gym do you go to?

my friends dad when he was 25yrs old had trans-am and ford GT but sold them off. My friend is pissed off at his dad cause they would have been worth a mint now. He sold the ford gt for like $4k lol. You'll be lucky to find one under 100k now haha

my dad used to be into cars ,when he was young he had a hq and put a 327 chev in (i think it was 327 cant remember) but when they fitted the motor the bonnet wouldnt close lol, also it was a straight through exhaust, mum used to live right down the end of the street and she could hear it every morning. and when they were going out when she herd it start it meant she had a few more minutes to get ready before he got there to pick her up lol.

i have tried but to no avail. my uncle is still into cars and bikes, he is doing up an old harley at the moment.

thought you were going all out on it? ;)

what made u sell it

found someone stupid enough to offer me more than it was worth. took the profit and bought a VW Golf. Instant free car. :happy:

ah yeh aint been down to hoppers the point cook one is fkn awesome u been? all new equiptment and heaps of potential wandering around.. so yeh i dont do much working out hahah

Nah never been...

I'm usually at gym during the day, so there's never any talent which kinda suits me...stay focused on what I'm there for.

Might be doing a PT course soon, and I'd go for a job at Hoppers and Point cook...Hoppers is always hiring PT's so wouldn't be too hard to get in there, but Point Cook probably has more potential clients...Hoppers is about 1 minute from my joint though so that's a plus..

i know the general manager of point cook and the PT training manager so lemme know i can talk to them for ya if u want?..

point cook has about 4000 members prolly more oppertunity and talent for sure.. chicks have teeth in point cook :happy:

lol there's talent at hoppers but its all there at night when I don't like training because there's too many f**kin people.

Pt cook would be better coz its newer, better equipment and a growing community so more new members, although hoppers do sign up a lot of people still...

Still haven't decided if it's what I wanna do, but I'll let you know if it ever comes to that. (won't be for at least 4 months obviously..)

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
