New and improved single injector. Loosing the very crap plastic hose (yes, its brake hose, not exaclty designed to work at 800+PSI) that Wizards (cowboys) supplied) next tuesday and changing it for braided hoses. Will be going up to 50 jets too.

Nice car mate. Reminds me of mine :) Looks in excellent condition too!

I'm a fan of the side strips and black covering that goes over the door pillers though.
