Don, Thanks for the detailed and informative response, that gives me everything i need.

To be honest I'm not sure how they achieved this. I have asked but haven't received a response as yet. The only comparison I have is this photo taken before any work was performed.

G'day Eric I've attached my alignment info. I had a specialist perform mine so can't give you any 'how to' advice.

Ok thanks again all who chimed it. I have a GM crate engine L3/376 480hp engine. I’m running a wet sump, external oil cooler and Morso 3quart accumulator. So, after a little more homework I will hold off going to the trouble of adding an engine oil temp sensor mounted after the oil...

Thanks for the responses. Jac the oil temp sender unit is mounted in the factory position for the LS3 in the sump/oil pan. I’m going to install a temp sensor just after the external oil cooler. The Digidash can only read one oil temp and I’m not going to the hassle of running another...

I've had the SLC on the track on 2 occasions now. First time the LS3 engine oil temp reached 140 degrees C (284F). I Then installed an external oil cooler in the side body ducts with shroud and proper ducting to slow the air speed to allow effective cooling. I'm running Penrite HPR 5 5w-40...

Wow Eric superfast progress mate. Be careful driving in its unfinished state, it’s so addictive you won’t be able to get out of it! I think it probably best driven with at least a body on it otherwise you’ll get too many bugs in your mouth from the wide open grin! <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>...

Thanks for the commentary jac mac, i will throw that comment to the Bilstein guys and see what they say. They use this exact same MDS Bilstein system in <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--> car #6 with the...

Kyle you beat me to it. I didn’t want to post yet because I was waiting for the technical details to go with it. Let me set the background to the change to the Bilstein dampers/shocks: The car was being filmed for a TV show and part of that included race track focus with both myself and a...

Eric I took a quick pic this morning sorry for poor quality. The button without a symbol is the 'Horn' and the top left is 'seat belt' light, goes out when seat belt is engaged. Will, Mesa, P Roth & AJ The door mirrors have been changed to series 6/7 FD RX7 mirrors That...

Update: The SLC was certified for NSW registration back in December 2014. The engine tuner managed to get the LS3/480hp engine tuned to comply with all emissions without having to change back to the standard 430hp cam. This was all done on pump fuel, it did take many hours of tuning though...

sounds great Fran feel free to use any of my SLC. What email address do you want pictures sent to?

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--> PeteB. The Kumho’s were rubbing. I had suspension engineers set the car up before I took it to the track for the first time and it didn’t rub during its first outing...

sorry John I got my maths wrong! I was using the hp to Kw equation instead. doh! you'll easily get to 93mph in 2nd! cheers

Looks bloody awesome Bill! How do you find entry and exit with that handbrake next to the drivers seat? I find i need that space to make the process easier. cheers Stuart

WOW John really impressive. Mate with that 442 cubic engine and that cam you'll never have to get out of 2nd gear on suburban roads. My SLC with Ricardo doesn't really enjoy cruising in 4th gear at our suburban speed limit of 60kmh (44 mph) as the RPM is so low given the Ricardo's 'long' gears...

Thanks for the response Will. What tire sizes are you running in the Nitto's? Hoosiers might be if i call around enough places.

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--> What tire sizes and brands are people running on their SLC’s? I understand the preferred size is 275/35/18 and 325/30/19. For some strange reason both my front & rear...

Good luck with the build A.J! Gopro time lapse of the build
