    No worries Ben. Just give me a buzz when you're gonna work on your 86, too. I'll get in and give you a hand.

    Hey guys,

    sorry for the sloooooooooooooooooooow reply. Been offline a bit lately. Thanks for the compliment Pete. I tried to get the colour as close to the original gold they seemed to come out with in Japan.

    Simon, it was just a can from Supercheap. I've gotta buy another can to do the rears so I'll get the paint details for you soon.

    Here's a quick picture of what it looks like on the car.

    Unfortunately, there's not much to update until the next load of goodies come. I can't wait.

    Are you still planning on supercharging it?
    Did you consider just doing cams, exhaust and intake. It seems like a shame to mess up an immaculate engine bay with a nasty SC and piping.

    Hi Jason,

    At this stage, yes. I'm really chasing a lot more torque. It will certainly destroy the aesthetics of the engine bay but at this stage it's still planned. I may look at a 7AGE build as an alternative, if that's the case I'll sell what goodies I've acquired so far for the project. I'd love to hear about people's 7AGEs. If anyone is in Brissy with one please take me for a ride. hahaha.
    I'm chasing about 200nm of torque to make it a really quick little streeter.

    Something with this sort of performance would be good.
