It's Ford GT Toxic Green, not a colour I would have chosen myself but, customer is always right......and it's kind of grown on me. She has a plenum chamber fitted but for the life of me...is a pain in the arse to get running right. There is an air leak somewhere causing it to run erratically, she is getting it sorted as we speak.

Have you checked the EGR valve? if I remember correctly I think that's where mine was leaking.

Yes, it's one of those VX 16 box looking inlet manifold engraved things from over the pond   was running fantastic but, when we transferred over to the refurbished X16XE somehow the vacuum hoses were messed up, would be good to get a diagram of how the vacuum hoses are connected to get her running right again.

Checking that now. Could use a little more information though mate. These motors have a nightmare of hoses ect.. attached to them...all good though not afraid to get dirty! we are re-building a C16XE and an X16XE at the moment as well.

We have the airconditioned models here, unfortunately the glovebox space is very small in that model GSi and to compensate for this Holden have incorporated a slide out tray under the passenger seat.
