Thats pretty much where I'm up to as well. Ive had to take off the rad and intercooler and all the hoses and re-mount 2 2wd cossie intercoolers (coz I could'nt get one made in time) and make all the fittings to connect everything back up. Ive also made myself a shiny new 3" exhaust......Gaz will be well impressed :mrgreen:

Need to take it for a shakedown spin later today and give it a wash (bloody hate that job) and I'm ready too :thumbsup:

Just fixing my oil leak from the cam cover :roll: , my bloody backs killing me crouching over the engine for hours scrapping off the old sealer :roll: . Lets hope it don't leak when i start it up or else they'll be a 3 hour oil trail to Brunters on friday :sad: .

Joe only uses a bit of sealer around the half moon seals near the cams, never along the whole gasket. My old engine had the cam cover off and on about 3 or 4 times with the same gasket, not one leak :thumbsup:

The only BIG power car comming is Kevs i think (480 bhp :shock: ) . Most of us are turbo less but although no match for Kevs we may be able to give the other turbos a fright :thumbsup: . Mad Micks atmo cossie will go well with a decent diff ratio and R888's , this car could set a real good time i reckon :thumbsup:
