So its been a busy week, but I promised Dave we would do some work on his car this Saturday, so we hooked in and finished it!

It was looking sad and dusty with no front and no dash in the back of the workshop.

We had a crazy mission remaking the intercooler mounting and radiator support so that it does not protrude and can be hidden in true stealth style.

Then a bit of a nip and tuck to the back of the bumper.
SERIOUSLY, folks this is Hard, dont try it at home. It would have been much easier to have the intercooled hanging out ricer stylee.

Put the front back on, lights, grille and then plugged everything into the dash.

Went for a spin and whooooooooooooooo. Dave wasnt really giving it cos the car was cold and the brakes werent bled and then the oil buzzer went off!! Argh, went back to the workshop, oil switch is very inaccessable on an AUG 20V motor! Tried the set of clocks that came in the donor car on a hunch and all seemed well.

Then I went for a solo spin. WOW!! Most amusing moment was me thinking whats that screetching noize, oh its the tyres scrabbling for grip!

Heaps better than the gutless 16v, this thing is insane when it comes on boost.

140 in 3rd gear scared me a bit and I wasnt even trying really.

Took it back and Dave had a go, he came back grinning and gibbering too!
Fans work, no leaks, locked it back up and called it a night.

Monday it gets a wheel alignment, brake bleed and exhaust welding then lookout Sydders. I reckon Ibeezer will bring it to the cruize, see you there.

Should paint the intercooler black so the car has total stealth. Looks hot though!

You inspired this car George, after the last cruise when your beast just effortlessly catches up with anything.

You dont want the hot seat next to Ibeezer. I sat there briefly and its very scary.
