Bourkey Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Nope im not a mechanic at all. I know how to do a vast majority of the stuff but im weak so i can't undo anything tight. Also as much as i would love to take credit for it, most of it was the people around me. I just coordinated the swap really.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bourkey Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 @ Phil - Yep It was all worth it. Im so chuffed about it's unreal. Everytime i drive it it seems to get more and more power. Must be everything running in. I can't wait to drive it when it's run in.@ Dub - Yeah just some minor things now. I've sorted the speedo out now and the exhaust is getting sorted tomorrow as is that tps sensor. i can't wait. Then i'll probably get a boost gauge. @ Rob - Cheers bud it was nice to see you too. I have to get one of them rev limiters though. It sounded so nice.@ Boostjunkie - Yep im loving the boost. It makes me smile everytime it boosts.I've not driven it today due to pissing around with the exhaust but as soon as it is done i will be.Thanks againBourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
