Wow, reversed manifold A/C and the bonnet shuts....thats nice.
Is the manifold modified or just directly flipped around ?

Thanks for pic

Yeah the manifold flips around perfectly, but theres heaps of little fiddly bits to make it work, especially with the reversed piping and alternator, air con etc.

my old setup minus the GT35R and 2.5 ran an 11.9 @119mph. This setup hasnt been tested due to a few engine issues.

Are the main mounting points and brackets that hold the alt, ps and a/c modified at all ?

OK looking closely it seems the alt piviot is lower ...anything else ?

You shooting for the 10 sec club eh ? good luck.

Thanks

The brackets are all modified, very costly exercise. It took my workshop a whole week to complete all labour

. Theres a few other things but i cant recall atm..

10s is a definate (if i dont sell the car) especially with the results shown in the states, and gareth jumping into the 10s with a smaller turbo.

St Andrews is the posh area of Dianella. I live in the gangsta area.

The tial comes off the upipe, and sits above the trailing arm. There is a screamer pipe which exists downwards from that.
