That was my option if I had not decided to go the head/cam route. Nice product, but would have required re-inspection for a road car.

Just had a quick search through aerocharger's website to see what makes it possible, and found this quote
'A further advantage of this self-contained lubrication system is the fact that the turbo is no longer reliant upon being lubricated by the engine itself. There are no high pressure or lines or seals to fail and reduced oil leakage into the engine for low particulate emissions. This also allows for more mounting options to be available for the turbo including both horizontal and vertical installations'
So turbocharging couldn't be made simpler, no oil or water lines turbotimers or complex boost controlling methods. All self contained, and they have kits to suit america's G8 pontiac...
Any news on a shed skid yet?
Thumbs up for trying in the last video |

I wasn't trying in the last video!! HAHAHA The biggest issue is the front grip is less than the rear grip, so it skids forwards! |

Build Update!
Hi All,
Update on my cobra:
- I've bought the tuning software for my engine, and i've uploaded my first tune... Very cool!
- I've been finishing off little jobs, that were half done in preparation of the body coming back on.
- Wiper motor is in and wired, with the Mini wiper motor being adapted to the Ford modern wiring. Variable Intermittent working! 
- Fuel tank is constructed for aluminium and fitted. New pump fitted also.
- And then i dropped the body on it this afternoon!

You're a very lucky guy seven. Not only does she tolerate you throwing all that money at a car, but she even cooks you lunch on the barbie

American Racing (or licenced from or something) I found on Ebay. 17x7 17x8 no offset. I needed 17 to fit over my front brakes, and i didn't want bigger than a 235/245 on the front as it still has manual steering. At least than $1000 a set, I'm happy, and I like the hotrod style they have. I thought too many had the halibrands, and I wanted something a bit simpler.

Update!
Made hood and boot hinges, still deciding what to do with the door hinges (I want something that wont intrude into the leg room!
On the plus side, even with the "hulk", the 260 Boss, it fits under the hood without a scoop, or a modified intake.
The front seat is in, cut in some carpet underneath it so thats good.
I have an ABS reader, so I could work out an issue with the ABS light on (loose wire on the rear sensor).

Any picks of the hinges you made? What did you make them from?

Hiya,
I haven't got any closeups, but I just made them up in the shed. Bent up some 8mm rod into a circle shape, welded them onto a 6mm tube and a square plate.
Are they the most elegant ever made, no. But I did make them!

First big drive yesterday, all went well. A few little things to fix, based on the drive, and a lot of wiring to finish!
