I got bored with the foci wheels, they are more 'neutral' . I like the lenso's more and more people love it or hate it.

 

I should just take some decent photos of the car standing level as well.

 

Cheers for the comment though

I should really really stay out of the scrap yard :balls:

 

Thats all for now

 

Thanks to heavyrightfoot for the plug

Decided to go N/A route and did a few things :

 

I bought a 2.0 Blacktop head and send that in to get cam reprofiling as well as port polish and gasflow.

 

Before

After

Inlet manifold ports were matched to the head :

The fitment of the blacktop head to the silvertop bottom end was really easier that I tought.

 

How she idled with the old exhaust with the head :

This is what head wrap does to a exhaust(and this is in our hot dry weather)

Took the valve cover for powdercoating

Fiddled with the throttle body

Found a set of ST170 seats and I couldn't say no.

 

Also not that big of a mission to fit :

Took her this past week to get a branch and exhaust made, well worth the money

I also asked them just to make a short piece of pipe for the inlet, looks much better IMO

and just to give an idea of the sound :

 

 

 

Next thing is going to be a remap, that will be in the next two weeks.

 

But so far I am really happy with the performance, especially at 1200 meters above sea level, she pulls extremely well for street cams and head work.
