I love your engine bay Stuart....it has to be the cleanest engine bay I have ever seen, The red rocker covers really set it off.
Cheers

Hey Stuart, is that an oily dirty smudge on that blue hose going from the oil filter to the block just near the intake :?:

Thanks Dale, she has just clocked up 80,000kms.

John, I think that dark spot could be a shadow? :oops:

Great day at Lakeside today. Really happy with BC Coilovers first track day.
Just about held flat at 180 through the kink, nice and stable.
Not as fast as some, but here is vid with lap times mostly in 68s.
At limit of street tyres i suspect.

Updated pic.
had 225/50/15s all way round, but couldnt stop the fronts rubbing on the liner on dips, hard turns etc.
So, now have 225/50/15 on rear, and 205/50/15 on fronts. (20mm dia dif)
Ride height 12.5" rear, 12" front, 4"(100mm) from road to frame rails.

OK, most recent project.
Started with install of an Electronic Oil Temp gauge.
Where to put it?
So, Double din oem head unit removed, Boost gauge was removed from right eye vent, and both gauges placed above a new single din Pioneer head unit. New Missile launch switch for boost map in the ctr.
Pretty frustrating job, but result is good i think. Better than pillar pod, or ricer cup pods on dash.
Gauges are angled up, and to right, to point towards driver.

Now to start an MP3 collection. Another virgin task for me to learn about.

Qld Raceway Track day April 11.
On/off rain, very slippery day. Using very worn 17s. Bit of a mistake that!

Few videos when your bored and want a laugh.
