Default Nos

bought a NOS efi kit the other day and started to fit it today with Dan there for moral support :P Problem was I was hungover (so was Dan) and we got over it pretty quick. The other problem was that the car slipped off the jack and the jack went straight into the sump pushing it right into the crank. The car still runs fine but makes a noise cause the crank is scraping the inside of the sump. I'll probably just weld a rod to it and pull it back out. All I managed to do in about 4hrs was tap into the fuel rail and mount the fogger nozzle in the throttle body. Worst mod day ever :yeees:

Well that's all till next weekend when I can actually be fkd. :

NAWWWWWWWWWWWS! That's fully sik!

Shame about the sump. : Today was a crappy mod day, Ash decided to change his rotors and pads, only to realise the dipsh!t at repco gave him one non ABS rotor and it was too late to return it. :S

We'll have to get another monday meet crackin when Sunny gets back and you get your Nos installed.

Sweet as. Can't wait for a ride in it! You should put the bottle under the passenger seat Toretto style!

Just make sure you don't blow the welds on the intake!

GRNKPR - He not hiding it from us!!

doug, you will want to do an oil change before starting it again and use a magnet, the crank may have sratched up some steel.

BTW, you don't need to drop K frame, just lift the engine, I did to fit bigger sump.
