Hey guys
thought is throw up a build thread for the 28, have owned this for 3years or so having bought it from melbourne. Used to look like this:
car had the following mods done:18R-GU with Twin Solexes Extractors, ordinary muffler HSD Coilover conversion on RT130 struts 2 pot sumitomo brakes lowered rear springs front swaybar whiteline GT Grille Chin Spoiler Hakosuka boot spoiler Racing jacket Fender mirrors 15x7 (f) & 15x7.5 Hoshino G5's Since then have painted it satin green as the previous paint was rough and removing the pin striping took off more paint! Also plasti dipped all the chrome work, had a 2 1/4 exhaust to blast pipes fitted and fitted my spare 15x8 0offset XXR's. The hoshino's will get refurb'd and possibly widened before going on again. Looks like this now Panic

Wow awesome build man. It looked good even before you started. Love the look of the engine bay and the extractors.

Awesome. I had a BMX that colour, its a sweet colour. The black wheels and bumpers really set it off.

Bit of an update after the ross show started off by getting a stereo installed not many photos but some 6" alpine up front and 4" in the back. I didn't want to cut up the original surround so a piece of acrylic was cut to shape and then curved at the bottom to fit Next on the list of parts didn't quite make it in time for Ross, but turned up the day after is a handbrake surround. It's brown and requires painting but that will be done later And now the biggest and best bit of this update. Just picked up a fully recondition 18rgue head complete with a pair of Clive cams 304 duration cams, all this for $200 couldn't turn that down! will be a little while before it goes in and I'm looking a fuel injecting the old girl and the same time!

NICE love every thing about this car, that head will be lumpy. EFI will be a must for it to run properly.

Ok next piece of the efi upgraded sourced! set of gsxr 750 throttle bodies modified to fit carb manifold

What size are the throttle bodies? are they going to be big enough? Also will the injectors be big enough for your 2 litre as the bike is only a 750. This will be a cool mod if it works.

Throttles are 42mm which is plenty, also the injectors are known to support 200bhp in kit car application on 2litre ford motors so also should be adequate. If not normal top feed injectors fit with a new fuel rail so won't be too hard to fix

Cool, 4AGE 20 valve ITB's are 45mm. Are these better, or are they just cheaper,love it.
