    Spent the morning at HP/F with AIR22, RICMCM, Smitty and staff of HP/F. Was great catching up with you guys.

    Now for the news. Engine and car will be back together next week and the aim is to fire it up by the end of the week.........WOO HOO!

    Trans will be getting looked into and possibly even started next week. Hopefully I can have the new trans fitted before the enevitable happens to the stock OEM trans. I will also get my wish of running a trans brake (for the first time in any car I have owned) and a slightly bigger stall.

    I also saw the new intercooler setup and my god it is HUUUUUUGE. Will definitely allow us to run the boost we are wanting to push through this motor. I should of got photo's of it all, I forgot. Will endeavour to get some Monday.

    And with the new surprise(s) I have that I will happily show everyone next week, I am hanging out more than ever to get a drive of this thing. Could be a long week for me now. I hate waiting....LOL. Definitely no work is getting done next week.....:)

    THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS..................

    When he gets this done and finished Ron, I think its as good as excuse as any for you to plan a trip to Australia, eh? I am thinking a good 10 days maybe even two weeks should do the trick....

    Don't ask me where you'll get the money! :help:

    lol I couldn't agree more Brad. Australia is on the top of my list of places I want to see. Africa is the other. The only two Continents I have yet to visit.

    Your telling me...LOL. 5 months its taken and these last fews days felt like they have taken the longest.

    I have also used a lot of restraint by not making a nuisance of myself by dropping in or calling them every 5 minutes. Actually I might give them a call now....LOL!

    That is the plan/target but time will soon tell. It would be nice but I will be happy with anything over 800rwhp. I may be limited by how much the blower I have will flow.

    Definitely in uncharted territory thats for sure.

    Couple more pics for the day. Will be looking to have it started by Friday with the SURPRISE! :)

    By the way - to XS Perfomance in New Zealand who wanted to charge me $4500.00 (for the headers and labour to modify them to fit RHD LX's) for the same Kooks headers I have now, GUYS THEY FIT A RHD VEHICLE WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. So if you have a RHD car but did not want to fit Kooks Headers 'cos you were told they don't fit, THEY DO FIT.

    And to Kooks, I am happy to accept any commissions for the free plug LOL!
