Just get the mods to re-open it. It was a good thread as a bit of a cautionary tale :) the discussion was banter and enjoyable for most :)

Driving up to the olds this arvo, I stopped at a really nice lookout because why not. Out of luck there was a young bloke there out for a ride that does a bit of amateur photography and loves his cars, asked to take a few photos. After owning the ute for 6 and a half years these are the some of it's first proper shots taken with a real camera and someone that knows what they're doing:) thank you.

Sending the bonnet off shortly to get it coloured like the rest of the car, only 2 years later haha but as we all know, builds take a while!

On another note, I took the ute to Jamie at FPT to put the car on the dyno to check how everything is going, I would have taken it back to RDP but it was a 2hr drive compared to 20mins and Jamie runs a tight workshop.

I had taken the boost solenoid out last night to clean and hooked it up the wrong way ha! When we put it on the dyno it was therefore only running gate pressure, 12psi. Funnily enough, on e85 and 12 psi it made 399rwkw! not a bad effort I thought! Once Jamie fixed that up and replaced spark plugs (missing at 5k) it came off the dyno with 550rwkw @ 24psi.

Of yesterday? I didn't photograph any of it as was just power runs to see how it all was. If you're genuinely interested I could flick Jamie/John a msg and post one up I'm sure.
