Wow, those headers look like a lot of work. Infact the whole thing looks like a lot of work.

Has there been fire in the beast yet?

Cheers Rampage101,,,you`re a legend!!!!!!!!!

It hasn`t fired up in that form as yet, but we did a start up with it normally aspirated yonks ago, just to make sure it all turned & ran & worked & things didn`t fall off etc, but was only a bench test.

Now we`re in the midst of having all the relevent stuff sorted for the engine bay, Intercooler,Blow off valve, inlet pipes & hoses, turbo dump pipe relocation (bend here & there for clearance sake) both engine steady bars, top rad braket, bottom radiator hose etc etc etc

I`m also in the middle of all the fastback roof strengthening, roll cage, seats & their mounts, stress testing etc etc etc, so that the Dept of Tpt can be happy,,,,There`s more to it than meets the eye.

so,,,i`m still a fair way off,,,but,,,every day it gets closer

But in the mean time,,,on my only day off each week, i go Down Hill mountain bike racing for relaxation & as Rampage101 (Daniel) has been so nice to host these pics for me i thoght i`d show you one pic from last weekends Qld Down Hill Mountain Bike series final held down the side of the Toowoomba range last weekend , where i came first in the Masters class & with that, cam the State series Win!!!

Pretty choofed about it really,,,2nd in the country & 1st in the state now

anyways,,,i know it`s a little off topic, but here goes--->



hope you like my type of "Relaxation"
