That looks awesome man.....

I have been thinking of doing the same to the bonnet of my EB once I charge it.

What I wanna ask is, Are you still using the LPG ( I noticed the converter in the engine bay), and if so, what mixer are you using, and is it before the charger or has it been modified to accept positive pressure and on the pressure side of things?

Yer as john said if i do any highlights it'll definately be orange, that's IF i do any. I actually did a crude photoshop of my car and let me tell you, orange GT stripes like absolutely nuts IMO. We'll see :P

Jordandalley, the supercharger kit was $3000, but that's basically just the charger and bracket.

Devious jet, yes it's still on gas. Not really an expert when it comes to gas tho. Not exactly sure what brand the convertors are, but i know that there are two of them :P

The car is on straight LPG:

Twin B2 converters
twin flexi line (unsure on ID size)
Mixer is a Gas Research S440 Throttle Body setup for Blow Through (ie. on positive side, no modifications required to the mixer)

running Blow through with GRA gear is very easy.

I was thinking of running an impco mixer infront of the blower in a suck thru setup as I will not be running an intercooler with an eaton style blower ontop of the inlet manifold.

How do you control the holden ABS setup in an EA mate?

Hmm, your right there, the black plastic cover is exactly the same as the one on my old VR V8 but the block differs.

its quite possible both manufacturers used the same ABS module, but as mentioned, the one fitted is an EF one because the car has full EF spec wiring.

Holden and Ford both use Bosch parts, which would explain the similarities of the ABS modules.

Rmyers - the engine bay on your car looks the goods man, very, very impressive! You should be very proud of your efforts!

The bulge is real my friend ;) We cut out a section of the EA bonnet skin and welded an XR8 bulge of a damaged bonnet in place. We origionally had the sides smooth but then decided to build up the sides with fibreglass to create the lines, hence why there is so much fibrglass seen in the first pics
