What details are you after? It's standard eb upright with new hubs. Will have too look at mounting positions once I get home. The calliper is a wilwood 6 piston dynalite as far as I'm aware but will check invoices when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mainly just getting the two main offsets right. The caliper and hub offsets. Just a bit of mucking around but every bit of info helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the hardware itself isnt exactly cheap either lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its getting launch control set up and fuel sender hooked up so I don't have to look in the cell for fuel level anymore and hooked up to the AIM Dash. Also had my 6 Piston Wilwoods fitted and new brake lines as well as a new Turbo Smart boost solenoid, the l67 one that I was using wasn't holding boost up top. It made 668rwhp/491rwkw and 1332rwNm at 27-28 PSI this time around, comes on boost a little bit earlier and harder, and holds higher torque earlier and longer as well. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet as I had to fly back to work before it was tuned so can't wait haha. We're finding the limits of the rear housing on this turbo now, but am reluctant to go bigger at this time because I love how responsive it is, I also havent even had a chance to take it down the 1/4 yet and im getting very itchy feet about that haha. I think there is a bit more power in it with a few changes like the intake and intercooler set up and a pod filter shroud to block it off from bay temps. Brakes fitted now as well just need to do an alignment before I go anywhere too far as the new uprights have given me a little bit of toe out, also have fitted the AU upper arms with the adaptors from Rollin' cant wait to test this out properly . Now for the bad news.. Unfortunately as much as ive been careful to try and not wreck the car or damage it by driving outside my limits, you just can't account for other people and while I was home last time had a VE SS get reversed off a tow truck into the back of my car. The incident broke my rear bumper off on one side and dented the LH rear panel at the back under the tail light and pushed the panel in a little out of line with the boot, and took a bit of paint off on the boot lid spoiler and underneath on the bootlid itself, luckily though the bootlid spoiler seems to have bounced back into shape and my tow bar deflected a lot of the impact as well thankfully. The VE got it worse than I did though The tow truck company agreed for me to get a quote and would pay for the damage caused but I figured there wasn't much point in trying to match the back end to the rest of the car, so decided to just go for it and respray the entire car in the same paint as the engine bay. The tow truck companies insurance has agreed to give me the money up to the cost of the quote for repairs and that's being put toward the respray as well. I'm Doing a few body modifications as well to tidy it up. Filling in the aerial hole on the LHF quarter and changing the front door handles to rear ones to remove the key barrel in the door which has had a break in attempt on both sides and both are busted anyway and look sh*t. Filling in the fuel filler flap as I have the cell in the boot now and dont use it Car getting prepped Also have this to go on as well, Metal BA-BF bulge grafted onto an EB bonnet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More power and even tidying it up on the outside, nice work. Looking forward to seeing it completed.Also I hear about the Wilwoods being easier to fit under rims compared to Brembos as they are not as tall. Seems crazy that they fit under the stock looking rims! Edited 20/08/13 12:26 PM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Anything over 18" looks crap on box cars so wanted to keep the option of using factory wheels, as well as being easier to find drag fronts in 17" rather than 18 or 19".. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car was resprayed in Cobalt Blue but with Blue Crystal Pearl. Bonnet bulge put on, Red strip was turned to black, Fuel filler flap filled in and welded up, Antenna removed and hole filled up (listen to MP3's when im not listening to the engine and turbo lol), rear garnish was filled and colour coded, fixed up all the moldings and black plastics, new front glass, colour coded wing mirrors, and put a black strip on the end of the bootlid spoiler to match the side molding black stripe. Also took the car down the drags, on 245/45/17 Street tyres, had major traction issues with it but managed a 12.2 @ 129MPH and a 12.3 @ 129MPH so its got plenty more left in it. I just need moar skill and moar rubber. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
