Looks fkn mean!

I just want to check, do you have the black clip on covers to go around your door frames & B pillars? as I reckon that will finish it off nicely..

cheers team! i'm pretty stoked with how its looking!

Kitch the black B pillar covers are on, i just painted the whole door including the frame, but i agree with you and i'm not liking the orange door frames too much haha, I might just spray em black sometime!

made up my driveshaft hoop over the last couple days, have also fixed the voltage drop when cranking. now has a solid 12v when cranking but for some reason the injectors wont fire when cranking, but they prime when you turn the key... so I will connect up the laptop hopefully in the next day or so and see if it can see whats happening on there!

Got the ol 1200 running this morning! I was sick of trying to figure out all the megasquirt crap so decided i would try put the factory computer back in and just see if i can get it going. I did that this morning so now i will take out the megasquirt loom ect and put the factory computer back in and tidy up that wiring!

Then hopefully i'll get the rear brakes sorted out tomorrow and a possible warrent this week!

Right. so i've fitted the factory computer all back in and she's running pretty good, but i think i need to run an O2 sensor as she runs a bit rich after a little while.

also have finally gotten the hand brake working after shortening the cable. went to go and bled the brakes but nothing was coming through the master cylinder for the rear brakes.. so i whipped the master cylinder off and it looks ok.. and i will test it once a mate comes around soon and if its crap i'll have to buy a new one! there is a small chance that an air block was stopping the fluid but probably not! hopefully i fix em up soon!

also chucked another stud in the back axel.. it was flipping $28 for a stud! repco is getting more useless every time i go there! and changed a few leaky fuel lines too. and will change my rocker cover gasket too cause its leaking a river!

anyway.. Took it for a burn this morning with no brakes, so it was pretty sketch! but i'm stoked with how it was going! a few times it was just frying 1st and 2nd in a straight line, and it pushes ya back pretty decent, so i'm pretty stoked! once i've got the brakes going i'll get a vid of some action haha!
