Fiinally getting this delivered today, so ill give it a clean and then quite a few updates at the weekend including suspension, wheels, and exhaust!

Edited by stevemk3

Love that colour dude,

jealous that its an NZ too :-(

What exhaust? 8-)

  • Author

Full stainless with 4 branch! Now all it needs is an mot lol!

Upswept?

Eventually ill change the backbox, just a normal pipe I think.

Is the fact that its an NZ engine a bad thing?

nz is a good thing. drop a nice cam in it and it'll zip along nicely

Sure will. An NZ chip and a GT cam and you will see GT power.

Yum.

Ill have a think about it, but this is more of a runaround for the time being. Finally got it to my house yesterday and I'm slowly giving it a deep clean.

Smells bloody terrible so I'm ripping it all out then starting again! Pics will be up again this weekend as we are going to collect some lovely bits :thumbsup:

haha, smells bloody terrible...

Looking good pal... What's the rest of the exhaust system like?

I miss my old NZ, nothing like a GT though!

A few mods and you'll see good returns.

what did you do your doorcards with mate? ( presuming youve sprayed them black? )

cheers lewis

  • Author

Yes mate, just black dye from ebay! Ill try and find the link but i used a whole can on that doorcard :/

  • Author

Junk sounded a bit crap, so a mate has renamed her squirtle for shitz and gigz

  • Author

Fitted the fuel tank, exhaust, rocker cover and spaced out the ARB last night (as i had no clearance from the manifold)

My mot is at 4pm, wish me luck!

now then kidda did it pass?

  • Author
