Funny how all the hours of work you put in and only you know whats been improved.
The engine bay, That's where i started. I think the best way to build a car is from the inside out.That way you don't skimp on whats important, because a car without a functioning engine is basically a shell - respectively.

Master starting to leak Trans hated the new setup lasted 2mins Strut top bearings are buggerd Auto trans lines were leaking"fixed that" Needs rear brakes"there squeaking" And a general degrease and clean up! I want to tune it now but short on coin ATM and now need a trans so see how we go, it should make around 200kw to 250kw I would think? but the n/a stuff isn't an option any more is just not lasting lol
