Looking very sweet Matty.
And the side mouldings ?

Are you trying to blur the FB and EK line.

Looks like a blended one.

thanks for the idea & the blessing DR... i'm stoked with the outcome....

craig...
mate the plans curently are as goes...
currnetly have a 186 & a set of twins for induction...but

if i can get my hands on a 179hp motor for the right price, i'll be heading down that road...
now with fuel prices getting deadset F@#$"N ridiculous i'm thinking the smaller the better...

was even thinking further down the track maybe an RB26 engine... (dont hate me)

malcolm...
not too toe'y yet as i know there is still along way to go...

ek61...

I dont hate you. I think your very wise, but some still think your a small minded wanker hahaha.

I would recommend a rb30 block with a 26 head on it. Mmmm tasty boost

Thats my dream engine later down the track too

Agreed that would be a phat idea. My dream EK would go down a similar path but would run a Toyota engine instead of a Nissan but both are a great choices

I heard that the energy required to make prius batteries and their general production impact on the environment is worse than a similar more conventionally powered car?

I have not seen any concrete evidence of this yet...

If you want I can get you in touch with the Australasian Production Manager of Toyota, but be warned he could talk the ears of ya!!! Suffice to say don't always believe what you hear.....
