Nice work Cat :)

Should have spent your money on finishing this and not buying the FC :p will be awesome when its finished :)

[rxgirl]

i can manage to split my money all ways :)
i do have money to get this done, just need time to do it really.
And with the wedding coming up as well has diverted more of my attention away from this.
But it will get the attention it deserves and best things come to those who wait :)

What motor are you going to be running?

[rxgirl]

I think i ended up gettig a S4 turbo motor and putting a S5 hi flowed turbo on it :)

i had the motor given to me from a engine builder in sydney so i didnt complain :)
it was checked in sydney and had great compression so we had it trucked over.
