don't mind the paint, well done on the conversion, how did you mount the engine, move foreward for cam angle sensor or what?

Hey Mick! Its a small world mate, I took a photo of your car in the same spot yesterday (hope you don't mind! :oops: ) if thats where you live, then I'm just up around the corner on Ripley dude. Your car is gorgeous, and I don't mind the two tone look at all, its very unique!

If you see a white JB cruising around the same area, give me a wave! :beer

Nice vr4 conversion. :)

I see you kept the VR4 waterpump & powersteering.

How did you do the plumbing for the coolant?

hey evoJB thanks mate,

hey xentro the inlet manifold was reversed so the ic plumbing was easier and the thermostat is sitting on the other end out of view

hey redzone hows it?

glad somone likes the satin... :oops:
i have no idea about the thermostat arrangement at all mate i bought the car with the conversion done, and although i managed to pick his brain about a lot of stuff i missed that one.
is that a common setup to use?
will come in handy no doubt is there anything you guys dont know? :beer

I'll drop in next time I've got the Staz out Mick! I'm currently removing the cracked front lip and painting my wipers black again (previous owner thought they would look great in white :wtf: ).

I'm a fan of the paint scheme as well, I think it looks great and suits the car. Who does most of the work on your car or where do you take it to work on it yourself because my driveway is angled like a bitch, no good for jacking shit up. :?

yeah sucks ay rainey got the same problem mate :beer

do all the usual oil changes and shite myself but when something needs doing i take it down to truline suspension in charles street they're really good and do pretty much everything.

i've seen your rig down at villiage cinema carpark before?

come down next time you've got her out!
