These should allow me to out the power to the ground adequately to ensure I maximise the full use of my built fully manualised auto

That's pretty much it at this stage. Apologies for the photo dumps above but just thought I would get my build process up to date here...

As mentioned before torque converter should be done this week and am also arranging for the boys at JPC to start putting in the billet oil pump gears, valve springs and head studs...
Also this week I will be sourcing a cooler for it.

After that's all done we are pretty much at the point where the car goes in to get the old 4.5 petrol out to start with the install...

Hoping to get it all done by Australia day robe beechport trip that I will be heading to with the fellas.

Hope you're all well!
Peace

Just*a little bit of progress todsy fella's

Today I managed to pick up my torque converter from Torque Converter Engineering in Ringwood.

For those of you that don't know this place they are well known in the torque converter industry for building some*of Australia's most bad arse high powered drag and or race cars torque converters.

Don't really know the ins and outs of what exactly is done with the converter but I just know it's now built to spec for what we are chasing plus more.
I also managed to purchase the new 600x300x76 pro flow intercooler... It's not a plazmaman but it will aparently do the job*for the 400rwkw range we are after...
And considering things come in 3's my race slicks finally got down here*after a 3 week waitfrom Sydney....

I now pretty much have everything ready that could of been bought for the car and is all sitting at JPC.

It's is now almost time for me to send it to the work shop for the hear transplant.

Exciting times ahead*!

Watch this space !!!
