ok guys, i got a few pics together.. this is it.. i smashed this together as a prototype, and have already modified it.. i figure once its tested and tried I can either remake it or dress it up.. but for the moment it satisfies a purpose.

I did test this today, and i can honestly say the van has never scared me before. today however on wet roads the back end stepped out on gear changes and the adrenaline was flowing like never before.. it was quite dangerous, yet extremely delightful.. The joys of an LSD and 295s are the predictability of the slide.

Without having tested this in the dry yet, i already know it has made a difference to the way the van drives and i only hit full throttle for short bursts.. just means no engine cover for a while.. hahah

Took the new CF2 for a run through to catch up with Bas. Still loving the V8 beat. 2500rpm at 100km/h on the motorway according to my GPS. Got a chance to drive Bas' LWB around the block. His power steering sure is sweet and his van has plenty of grunt. Thanks for the catchup Bas :)

Thanks for that carb photos MaTTe Sure adds some height to the carb I remember the gas system on my old Coaster was about 2inches of pipe on top off the carb with about 3eight tube welded into it that the gas tube went into only added about 2  inches to the height That system has a special name dont remember but it was simple & worked well Cheers Reid
