FTO AUSTRALIA

Bit hard to compare mate, I had to put a whole new exhaust on it when I did the conversion. Existing piping was too small. Yes it sounds different, and having muffled tips its actually very quiet. The loudest noise I have to deal with is the 2 turbos at full spool. They make a racket.

What about that front lower H brace you installed, do you recommend it?

sh*t first time I've seen this thread!!

What was that in relation too?

you may be able to get the oil cooler there.

Ah. Its already installed up under the wheel arch

Bennoz I forgot to ask before about the lightweight flywheel,
Was it different launching the car? Both in normal driving situations and drag racing.
And, was it harder to spin the wheels, or did the lightweight flywheel make it feel like the car had more traction?

Just installed an oil pressure gauge

Nice. and thats fast as i remember when i saw you yesterday it was still the clock. How long did it took you?

Bout 4 hours?

I hate wiring lol. There was a bit in behind it too.

looks sweet as .

Hence why the gear changes are as smooth as honey.

Nice !

My secret shame... I can do body work

This is a spare boot lid, gonna tac up the holes & give her a coat of red, see what the beast looks like spoilerless

Also got some other cool body stuff coming up. Especially seeing as I've run out of mechanical things to do

As my old man once said during a driving lesson "Treat the shifter like your cock son. If it feels like you're damaging it pushing it in, then you probably are..."

It was so long ago mate, I can barely remember. I don't seem to remember it making any difference on take off, once I got going & the rpms were up it did though.

But for $300 odd bucks for the flywheel, how badly wrong can you go? I'll even put one in for ya for 3 cases of beer!

Your e-peen grew 3 posts longer!

Congrats my man.
