    That is the plan, only just got the thing running properly after all the upgrades, still got the following to go on.

    3" S/S TBE
    Aeromotive 340 Stealth fuel pump
    Lightened flywheel
    Courtenay Fast road clutch
    Quaife LSD
    Opel Rear Badge

    Haven't revved it over about 3500 rpm yet only put about 20km's on it today as it had to pass a roadworthy.

    Thinking i will take it to Castle Hill Exhaust to go on dyno there. as it is not far from uni.

    Are they easy enough to fit yourself? Or do you need to take it to a suspension place? Just the springs that is, for the time being..
