Great looking. I am still thinking about Jon's big brake kit. Wish yours was running so I could ask you about it.

Gordon

Well it just show racing...

The polish is just a drop in the sea if u now what I meen..

The Hi Spec brakes are very good brakes, and with a good price..
They are on the same shelf as Brembo, AP Racing and Alcon only cheaper..

I wish my car was running too...

They tell me it'll be about 1100nzd for the set including belts. The set includes all the pulleys in the pic and also a larger alloy power steer pump pulley. They will slow down the water pump, alternator, and p/s

ok if you didnt need the P/S pulley or idler i would assume it would be cheaper. i saw on tweakit.com they were selling the for the FC and they were only 300 something australian dollars.

sorry, i mean the rear of the engine.
For some reason i thought you were going with the 5.5" clutch set-up. must have confused it with another build.
anyway, its looking really good. very similar setup to what im building. almost identical
