Daz will be fitting a turbo. Go on Youtube and type in "ALG 1K" (his previous one) and watch some of the videos. And he reckons this one will have 25% more power and better weight distribution... :shock:

Done a fair bit more this weekend
Engine and gbox put in to measure for the 4 " ex and 2.5 "waste gate pipe also the inlet manifold
I am going to have to make a new inlet and exhaust manifold as the ones im using are off Alg1k
Bulkhead half boxed in going to use the remainder of the old tunnel and still have it removable.
JUST wondering on what colour to do the car
Any sugestions ? :-k
