Yep,

It was a good gathering and I had a good time. Nice to catch up with a few of you too.

Next year, I swear to God, it will be finished and complete - got a fire in the belly now!!

So you all know what I look like now (I even fooled Nick with the growth), no excuses for next year (right Ian?)

Simon, thanks for the light, I hope no-one mistakes me for a ho!

Cheers,
Tricky

That'd be enough to make anybody turn and run .....

Next time it'll be somewhere quieter and with less distractions than the muster , there was too much to look at there . When are you down at Woody next Tricky ?

The look on your face was priceless, you were like "who was that, that just pulled on my shirt" turned around to see two people neither of them looking familiar... :lol:

Hi Guys,

I have been (cough, cough) on holidays for a week on Fraser Island, fishing, taking in the sun and all that biz.

So, nothing has essentually been done to the car since the Muster. I have been waiting on the new snail to arrive and it showed up Friday before we left, along with the 2nd amp for the doof!

The turbs is the same one Matt Power is running, a KKR280. Slightly smaller than the TD04L that I was going to put on, and this should make it easier to install too. According to Matt he has had a great performance boost with this unit, and it should spool quicker than the TD04L too!

The next step is to now put it into position, and start fabricating the exhaust manifold similar to the one I did for Barbie (a set of ramhorns). Once the new turbs is in place and the EM sorted, we can then move onto the charge pipes etc, which will require a bit of thought and fiddling!

Anyway, the new turbs:

And of course the new amp - 800 Watts x 4 channel to power the mid-bass drivers and the rear 5.25" coaxials. It is a Fusion PowerPlant series amp, and seems good value for the price:

More updates soon!

Cheers,
Tricky
