Just waiting on the clutch kit to arrive from Australia so the FTE can get fitted.

Vac pump getting rebuilt, housing was vapor honed and got clear cerakote after.

Exhaust manifold got a special high temp cerakote on the outside and a special coating on the inside. The inside coating is supposed to really help with temps.

So what was the special coating in the inside?

I get to have my manifold done in the next two weeks. The clear coat cerakote looks sweet by the way.

My last two VDJ spec NPC clutches have a far softer pedal feel compared to before. It makes it much easier to use and on the leg in traffic. Same thing with the next Nexgen Gturbos. Different (better) animal compared to the previous ones. You bought well and will like the results.

I've heard good things.
Big thanks to @AussieHJCruza for sourcing that for us.

Now it's time to sell that new regular V8 hood/bonnet and get an "Aussie" V8 bonnet to get the power bulge thing going on -

I prefer the smaller scoop.

To be clear, that’s the smaller scoop in the photo?

Larger. It's harder to tell the difference from that angle.

Thanks …. I thought the large one had the vertical pop cycle sticks in the opening.

They have the popsicles, we paint the inner black to hide it

They are present in the upper photo. The black scoop (and that tiny phone of yours) makes them hard to see.

Here's a dark photo of a white painted one which shows off the popsicles better -

Sorry for the hijacked thread Tony!
