No I didn't, thought about it but didn't have any gaskets.

Probably should of though.

I'm looking at doing the same mod with the plate, keep us updated weather it NEEDS the gaskets or if u can get away without it. Cheers

I will be putting in another gasket at the next service in 5000km, better off putting one in whilst your there..

HPD catch can, absolutely no oil residue in the intercooler pipes.

That's impressively clean!

Thanks Rocket

What does everyone think? I'm feeling 50/50 at the moment.



Alignment and rubbing issues so had to redesign then outer part of the bar, also going single hoop aswell.

Everyone has there own opinion but I think it looks pretty good. Lots of exposed tyre though. Will throw some mud around.

Looking good Luke. Have you got much chassis flex or have you eliminated that with all the modifications?
A bit hard to tell from the pic but the infill under the headlight looks close enough to touch if you take a good hit or get some decent flex going.

True but I like to see what other people think and if they have anything to suggest

It does without the swaybar, got the currie anti rock to go in the rear which will help reduce some flex in the chassis but you don't want to eliminate it.

It was rubbing the headlight and pushing up against the guard causing stress fractures, can see where its rubbing here



In any case it had to be modified to get the maximum possible travel out of the suspension.

We are going to make some brackets to mount off the bar edges to the front body mount so when the chassis flex it pulls the bar with it if that makes sense?

This thing is just wild looking! Wicked build man!

Thanks bud
