Gauge install, they aren't quite straight I know, I'll straighten them up once I've got them set up fully as I still need to put the clear plastic part in front of the gauges and the front part of the surround.

Sorry about how crumpled it is, I think one of the cats was sitting on it in my car! I like how the power is still going up at 8000rpm :) bit of a speed difference compared to the old motor, looking at the old dyno charts it was only doing 160Km/h at the red line in 4th with the L28 & 3.7:1 diff, looks like it's doing 232Km/h now! I'll have to dig out the last dyno chart that I had done with the L28 & 3.9:1 diff.

Nice feet, can't wait to seeing these filling the arches, they'll look great on the black.

Well shit. Don't know what happened but the wheels have ended up wider than I wanted, bead seat to bead seat they measure 274mm which is 10.8", this means they sit well outside the guards.
Image

With the centres mounted on the outside of the wheel not the inside where I wanted them they aren't as bad and could probably work, these is not a lot of clearance between the wheel and control arm but there is clearance.
Image

This is the new wheel compared to my current wheel with 255/40 tyre.
