Getting ready

Maryland and I getting the first Christmas catalogue ready.

Current driver

Over the last week or so I have been driving my mate Matt's EB GT, it is a very rare 5 speed manual.

The two beasts together, I am getting impatient now I would love to drive my Falcon.

Another update

Yes we can close the bonnet, we had to test the new bracket for the radiator alloy over flow tank.
There is not much room left under the bonnet. Pipe from the turbo to the intercooler will be finished in an alloy power coat . all other metal brackets Brett made will be painted Dynamic white the same colour as the car.
Left hand side is now finished with the blow off valve fitted and all the intercooler hoses hidden as best we could.

Turbo Update

Air pick up is inside the right guard It will be covered by a sheild to stop any water coming close to it
Left side guard hides the Wet to air intercooler and water pump. Brett has set it up so the air flows throught the cooler and it exits out the left guard.
All lines to the intercooler will be hiden from view.
Top view of right guard. radiator over flow tank wiil go over the top. ABS has been moved and new brakets made.
Top view which is missing the air pipe to the intercooler. Hopefully next week will see it fire up.

Matty's BA ute

If my good friend Matty T had not lent me his ute I would have been lost over the last month.
The ute is a BA XR6 Turbo the only extras are the GT wheels and it is fun in the wet and dry. I have been fish tailing all over the place.
This is the first turbo car I have driven so I can not wait to drive the Falcon as it should have up to 100kw more than Mat's ute.

Some progress

Some work has been done, the blow off valve and piping has been fitted hopefully it will be finished this week. More work was done on Friday and Saturday but I have not seen it as yet.

The Turbo Build begins

This year I have worked seven days a week and not done any car events which is why this site has been so quiet.
Finally we have started the turbo build the pictures show the progress on day one.
The over flow tank will have to be moved forward and the Battery will now have to live in the boot. We are finding it hard to find the room for things under the bonnet. I wanted to run the water to air intercooled so there is no Outward sign of the car having a turbo fitted.


The cold air box is gone and a water to air intercooler will now resided in it's place this is the new bracket made to hold the intercooler.
