    Hahaha trust me John, it feels like its taking forever, but will be worth the wait!

    While the engine is away im going to get in and clean up the engine bay as it was filthy and my OCD can't take it any longer hahaha.

    Re: Maccas VX HSV GTS

    Well my build is finally happening this weekend. Have all the parts and then some, as decided bugger it ill order a new exhaust while at it so have a sureflo 3.5 inch to go behind some ballistic cats and the pacemaker inch and 3/4 4 into 1s i have here. Today i got out and painted the headers and otr all black with high temp paint. Engine is back after getting all new bearings put through, which im glad i did as found the big end bearings were shagged too. Ended up taking 40 thou off the heads and getting a neg 10thou cometic gasket, giving a total of 50thou off standard height.
    Cant wait for this weekend when all the boys come up from melbs and local to help put it back together in the shed and fire it up!

    Bring on fun times!

    Re: Maccas VX HSV GTS

    Well the motor is back together and in, idling pretty well. But still have to fit the new exhaust as i deceided to lash out and buy a sureflo 3.5inch single system for it, and then a few little tidy up and for the tune to be properly sorted!
    We had some hiccups along the way but managed to get them all sorted, starting it in the shed running only off the heads was insane haha put a damn big smile on my face!

    Hopefully be on the road in the next 2 weeks or so.

    Cheers
