Weld and polished.

I made a sub box to suit the type r 12". Built it as the spec sheet said for dimensions.
Got some tidy boot carpet off SIKVLT. Gave it a shampoo yesterday and left it overnight at work to dry in the air conditioning. Not to busy at work so I started covering it. Never covered one before. Hopefully my idea will work.

looks good , cant rally go wrong covering it as long as you have a sharp knife.

I am I am. Lol.
Just picked up some other genuine parts so waiting on them. Pretty excited. They will be on there way to NZ shortly.

Why are the throttle bodies on the wrong side?

Actually just realized the VN Group A manifold had the slant at the front, my bad.

Your right bud. Walky has slant at the back.

It's off!

I picked a a VS Clubsport to use as the basis off the stroker engine. Going to mount the TTB's to the modified 304 that is currently in there. Once the stroker is built up I'll do the switch over. It's not a cheap exercise sourcing all the goodies out of OZ. Also want to build it right. Been getting some good advice from SIRHSV and a few others that have done the stroker with the TTB Walky manifold. As I want to build the engine myself I need to find someone that can tune it.

Trial fit. Gaskets to pick up.

Finally found one!! Just got to whip the butterfly out and seat it in the Walky one.

NZER · 07-05-13, 08:26

Butterfly fits really good. Just need to sort some button head screws.

Sorted the breather fittings and sent the rockers and plenum off for painting today.

Waiting for these to turn up. Hanging out. Got the bro in Brissy looking after them for me.

Got the coverings stripped off to sweeten the deal. The upholster kept the foams and seats. Then BOOOOOM. My bro in Brissy gives me his Walky foams he has sitting around. NOS Foams!!! Can't wait to see it all.

Also NZSXYHDT has hooked me up with some mint Calais Head rests (same as Walky). I'm pumped.

Picked up a couple of parts in Palmy North while passing through there over the weekend.

---------- Post added 07-05-13 at 10:55 ----------

Waiting for these to arrive from Brissy too.
All black fuel rails.
