All that's left now is interior....exhaust....re wire.....tune....engineer.....rego. counting it down now.
Went to Tempe Tyres to get measured up for the Simmons. Who F%cking cares if they're not the original simmons. Obviously i dont.

And it ended up looking like this. Typically, people living in Sydney (as Derek form Datsport will tell you), run polished or silver FR simmons with venetians in the back window. This is very true. Keeping in mind that i want this whole build to be different from what anyone else has done, I decided to go gloss black FR's with polished outer lip. I am really suprised with the offset on the rear. it looks borderline mini tubbed. very happy with the end result. Looks fantastic with the black brakes and black rotor hubs. The old saying "wheels make a car" really proved it's point in my case, i was getting lazy with the build, just drinking and starring at it. Getting the wheels on and having a glimpse at what the final finish will be like, really made me pull my finger out.

I also had the cage done. 4 point with box bracing running along sills to strengthen front end (as recommended by engineer). I also had the the factory seats mounts cut out and custom jobbies welded in.

Sound deadening right throughout cabin. went on very easily, makes such a huge difference. yes, it's adding lots of weight, but a 1600's kerb weight isn't exactly a downfall from factory to begin with. Plus aiming for 500+hp at the wheels, needs all the weight it can get as far as i'm concerned

W2A intercooler from Plazmaman. Will post up pics shortly of install. took a few goes for mounting in between FJ and big arse PWR radiator. Had to modify the freakin inlet plenum yet again, but this was the final mod i hope. The W2A will run a 3 core ally rad and EWP in the spare wheel well, reservoir (with inbuilt tank for dry ice) in engine bay, and HUGE 1'' lines from front to back. F$ck me those lines are sooo big.

Finally finished the fuel system. MEGA expensive and a MEGA pain in the ass to install. Sooo time consuming. I'll add some more photos next week once it's on the hoist for exhaust. The price of AN fittings is ridiculous.
