Another update

Proof is in the pudding with the old saying, Double your budget and triple the time you expect on your build. The ED didn't make powercruise this year despite the efforts of everyone involved, we called it quits a couple days before the event realising that even if we got it running, it still needed milage on the clutch, diff, box and motor before it could be given the kind of abuse I was gonna give it at the event. So in the interest of preservation it was put aside for a week or so.

The rocker cover was pulled off for some mods for catch can and breathers and such, while BYE Performance Fitted the dump pipe and screamer to the car.

The Custom 3.5" tailshaft was ordered and picked up a couple days later and fitted, swaybar was in upside down, its now fixed lol. No hitches there everything seemed to line up all good and Once that was in BYE Performance welded up the rest of the exhaust system, comprising of a 4" body 100 Cell cat and 3.5" stainless steel pipe all the way through to the tip with 2 mufflers.

After the mods to the rocker cover it was sent off for paint. I Went and picked up the rocker cover and scorcher bar from Outter Limitz Spraypainting after Alan had worked his magic on them. I only took photos of the scorcher in my Force 8 lol, dunno why.

F1 Spec on the ED wheel, minus the horn :P haha. It will be installed where the OEM dash cluster is, once it is removed.

Rocker cover refitted and some wiring happening now as well.

So things are slowly going forward again, have got some Au upper arm to stub axle adaptors on order, they allow you to get much more caster, which helps with turn in grip by giving dynamic camber n shiznit. So will be good for tracking it.

Cheers for reading.
