This type of PWR Intercooler is going in.

Dann, you will probably see it pretty soon as well as a really nice tig brush

Snowie got a nice collection of parts there. All the sought after parts are there.
Nice set of wheels too.

Is respray on the cards down the line?

I can't believe you got the meisters for $600.
What a steal.

Thanks Yem11n, 3/4 of the car is yours. I promise I will look after the drive line.

The car is actually really straight and the paint is very good, just a few marks on the front bumper which I will get fixed.
It's really dirty as hasn't been washed in a very long time. I expect to get it back to this condition the first weekend I get it back home.

This was only 3 years ago and I'm sure "Busty Maiden" would have washed it all the time. Probably in her Bikini

The wheels I bought from a young guy in Liverpool who had them on a civic and they were filthy. really filthy. After going mad on him for a while about letting them get in such bad condition and telling him I wasn't even sure I could get them back to any kind of useable condition. There was also a slight indent/buckle on the inner lip of one of the wheels where he hit a pot hole or something and I picked that up and it would need to be professionally repaired. Then negotiated very well from there. He was originally asking for $1200 with the Bridgestone My-01 tyres which I just sold to vincevince for $100.00 last week.

Using my 30 years engineering experience I fixed the indent/buckle by using a big bit of wood. I cut the end to the radius of the inner rim and then hit the "friggin crap"(technical trades person terms) out of it with a really big hammer. I still have the bit of wood if anyone wants a lend

Spent about 8 hours cleaning them with scotch-brite pads and a tube and a half of Autosol.
It balanced up really well and ran perfectly true.

Looks nice with some of my Meister caps as well.

Normally just once before I sell them but in this case sold as non runner I didn't even do that.

Subscribed! How much did it cost to polish your cam cover?

John and Chris at PK will polish it for you for $180-$200 depending on its condition. Inlet manifold might be a bit more if you get the bottom half done as well.
They are good guys and do a lot of engine stuff.

Saw/heard this Mania yesterday evening. Awesome project!

Power run at Mania on Tuesday. 157rwkw on a very conservative tune.
Next step off to Exocet for some NitroDann magic and a full 3" exhaust from the SP dump back.
This will be the prototype for any other SP that wants a seriously upgraded, free flowing exhaust. Hopefully the first of many.

Looking great!

WOW...

Saw the Snowie in person on recent trip to Mania to pick up Redline stuff..

Here is the original Frankenstein 3" straight through exhaust. Obviously not exactly legal, but quite functional for a race car.

Seeing as it needs to be registered. Dann has come to the party with a cracker of a legal, super high quality full system. Nice work Dann… You Rock...

Hopefully I will have it back soon and I can terrorise some push bike riders in the National Park.

Any SP owners who would like this exhaust, see Dann's SP exhaust thread. viewtopic.php?f=82&t=66671
