 then it was time for tuning being in WA and having the emtron Quang from wanted motorsports where the work and dyno was being done recommended we have emtron remote tune it to best utilise all of the emtrons awesome features like the torque management and how it does all its wizardry, so of course we had some teething issues mostly with the 25+ year old harness that i wanted to use (i know stupid decision) we had a great final result of 620whp at 23 psi unfortunately didn't take a pic of the graph or ask for a print out. the flat shift was working nicely on the dyno but after the first drive realised it wasn't happy when on the road which we believe is just an issue in the numbers i gave to the tuner so that will be updated so i can really bang some gears. but wow after the first drive it is a totally different car (obviously) but i put a lot of it to the ecu, in the throttle control and feel Aswell as how it comes onto boost now and having a nice close ratio box now gives the car an awesome drivng experience.

 

after having some wiring issues due to using the 25+ year old harness i decided it was my turn to become a sparky and removed the harness, removed parts that i wasn't using anymore and rewired some parts that were just failing rewrapped it all in heat protecting sheaving to help keep it all nice and safe and after a few goes finally have it running nicely. then it was final interior install with the bride xero seats and 6 point scroth harness, aswell as some more minor additions in the bay overall very happy with how it all turned out over the past 2 years or so, and now its time for some track action and some nice new sticky rubber

so, while bored at work this week was going through some build threads and saw CRSKmD's thread and saw the free cooling improvements in the front end just by trying to direct the air better and thought i wonder how my car looks. basically, it's terrible gaps from every single point and so with some time today decided to start and tackle that. 

nice and easy one to start filling in the gap at the top between the body and radiator.

 

then while jacking the car up found this fun surprise, never thought i would have to move it as my car isn't exactly stance nation spec but anyway decided to fix that first.

so trimmed it back abit applied some primer and used some old rubber hose around all the edges to ensure it wont rub through secured it all down and while putting the fender back on realised the headlight bolt to fender wasn't installed so chucked a new one and now the headlight actually lines up with the body so big win there.

 

sorry for the poor pictures but went for covering up the gap between the intercooler and radiator and it took me longer than i would like to admit.

 

the indicators have always been really saggy and had huge gaps between them so tried to improve that and then cover up the gaps still in place to try and stop the air getting in behind them.

 

 

some awesome trimming work has been done to fit the massive China intercooler that used to be on the car but ran out of time to fix that up today sadly so plenty more to do
