Will still be retaining the nitrous for that little bit extra!Either way should be an exciting next few mths and will try and get pics as everything unfolds!Cheers lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely be a more of a monster when it gets put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely be a more of a monster when it gets put together.Your not wrong Ivan it's funny most failures in Motorsport always seem to be the $2 part!Will be all braided vacuum hoses on the next build!!It's funny 1st you tell yourself I'll just rebuild it to what is was then you think you can't spend all that money and have the same thing,so you go behind what you could have imagined!!
