Yes a bit of progress made, busy with hub conversions at the moment, that's putting a spanner in the works a bit as while I'm busy with that the car is not "moveable" Wiring harness has been fitted, just need to test.

Still to do after hub conversion:

Propshaft
Brakes
Plumming - water and boost
Exhaust

Then it should be running

MY MAIN MAN RIEKERT WILL POST A PIC SOON - and yes I know I should clean the garage!!! Thanks again Riekert!

O ja - its on blocks because of the hub conversions so that's why its riding high -

The 18's are a black chrome A-line Blade ..... Kinda nice.

Tyres by DUNLOP - who could have guessed

I still have a bonnet scoop that I not particularly want to fit, its an ISUZU 3000 one, already sprayed etc just need to cut the holes......

Body kit is looking really slik.
Watsup with the grafix.. you sonsored by Dunlop??

Yes, actually by Neptune Tyres, and they are a Dunlop dealer here in Port Elizabeth, not a huge sponsorship but enough to justify the signage.

The amount of help Anre from neptune gives me and fellow drag racers, are unheard of in the industry... Nothing is too big or too small. We used one of his lifts for two full day's to build my roll cage... Which he uses for doing exhausts = loss of income for him.......

Therefore I will gladly drive around advertising him and his brand....

Wish I could do more !

Ok, so you dealt with a Dealer directly, nice one.. i tried Head office ... EPIC FAIL, bunch of backward peddling Artards!

It helps if the Dealer is also a DRAG RACER himself.....

TAKE ME TO YOUR DEALER ....HAHAHAHA

Sorry off topic, but just had to !

Next hurdle - 76mm or 100mm exhaust ???

nice!

so yeah.... want to get a 76mm too! lemme know if you get a good price!

Phoned arround :

76mm Pipe per meter = R54.72 (mild steel)
100mm per meter = R 75.20 (mild steel)

76mm 90 degree mandarel bent = R 75 (mild steel)
100mm 90 degree mandarel bent = R 101.90 (mild steel)

Flex joints s/steel per meter (cut to size)
76 mm - R 770
101.9mm - R1060

Boxes made to spec - 76mm approx R550, 100mm approx R750 (mild steel)

So say you use 6 90's , 1 flex joint of 100mm, 3m of pipe and one box the prices would be more or less:
76mm = R 1250 material only.
100mm = R 1700 material only, then stil labour/fitting/welding.

For a R450, difference I am leaning towards 100mm........

What do you guys think?

oh and you'll need about 1 90 and a few 45 ones...

welding shouldn't be to expensive and then fitting you can do yourself. hehe
