hey the car has been off the road for about 9 weeks now, due to the loose crank bolt, new crank, vitara pistons and a little bit of head work, just waiting on the front brace for the subframe, i had to cut part of it out, which only goes between the front bolts for the subby, the new brace is going to be left over role cage pipe which will be bolted to the subframe which will make it easier in future..

but the turbo and manifold is finished, engine is ready to go in, finished cutting and mounting the intercooler and the right angles bends, (see pics) its especially different for a mini.. the bar just hangs over the cooler so hopefully i wont cop it from the boys in blue.. role cage, 13's, camira calipers and rotors, new dash panel and few extra guages.. should be all in and running in 2 weeks...

umm yeah i know its a bit wow/rice/look at me, but i didnt want to jam somthing in the engine bay, honestly i cbf trying to, it was hard enough to work on without the turbo and all the ic pipes and bigger rad, and somthing allways broke when i go tmine on the road, hoses splitting etc..

but the number plate is a slimline, shouldnt have to much trouble finding a spot for it..

as for the cops and racing, i drive this car like a 60yo grandma, ask bungholio

only other pic of wheels i have cam,

I'm back to striped again. And yes, he drives like a 60yo grandma.....poorly . Couldn't drive his thumb up his bum. Kidding .

Well atleast he won't have to drop the clutch into second to get wheelspin, turbo will take care of that.

The location of the intercooler looks sweet! In NSW that would never be allowed, it
comes under the heading
of somthin like "having sharp objects proturding" if you were to hit someone jeez it would do some damage....
What is the core size of that intercooler?
