Well done Luke, once again you've put the rest of us to shame with your dedication and perseverance. Just the little things to do now!

Dare I say.. People's Choice Akaroa 2017?

Fuck yes!
As for premature WoF, I was told to go get a WoF (When my 510 is finally done) and then use that sheet to get cert for what it fails on. Having that list helps you get shit carted you may have missed but the WoF guys don't.
Well done all all involved.
My orangatang 510 here.

With a 1200 either end of me I felt it was safe enough to do some new years hoons, courtesy of bede and brendan.
Stopped in to see adam, he was working on his project which was awesome to see, then hooned over to josh to drop off some mirrors. He was also balls deep in his new toy.
Ran really well entire run, just need to secure that damn exhaust.

If you had a Crocker fabrication gearbox mount you could hang an exhaust mount off the back of it.

its not there that it needs securing unfortuneatley.

pulled the gbox out tonight for basically.....shits and giggles. back in tomorrow night. swapping oil out too. coz im fussy, and brendan reccomended it.

fitted new 1.5' blocks with last minute ubolts courtesy of bellamy and east at 4pm. amazing what a box of beer can do. cost me $10 per mm of travel i gained with the blocks :deadhorse:

i could have bent the ones that came with the blocks in but im fussy and the radius was suited for a h145 rather than my h165. about 5mm difference but worth the beers.
