Overall condition was pretty good mate! Nothing sinister really! Just tired!

Sounds like a party

Actually alignments is one of the few things i do trust shops for as i get mine done at Road2Race Chassis Tuning in West Gosford. Peter is a wealth of knowledge and extremely passionate when it comes to anything performance related! He is very much like Jez in terms of advice, its no bull straight up honesty

Got good news from Jim Berry last night... Clutch is in good nick! The pads started at 8.05mm and after 4 years of abuse they are still only down to 7.95mm like new lol The only damage on the clutch is from the incompetent idiot mechanic that dropped it at a certain workshop and then covered it up so i would never know, when i removed the box about a year later i was shocked! This is why i do most of my own mechanical these days! Hard to find reliable workshops! I ground back the damage and cleaned it up and it still functional but one of the fingers was slightly bent so this has been repaired! I could get a whole new plate made but there is no need! Should be good for another few years at least! So clean, machine and good to go again!

I ran the same turbo on my stock NEO and it was a good choice! The extra capacity will be killer! If you are going 3L i would nearly go a size up for shits and giggles I run twin 40mm turbosmart gates!

yep haha

Fkn Mexicans! lol

Towards the end i was just doing cold comp tests to make sure it was even across the 6 cylinders... So not a proper indication! It was still fairly even but was in the 90s on cold tests which was another 10psi down through the year...

Depends when it is... And if you can babysit

I wont be pulling it down, but can ask the question to see what condition it was in... I am going to say well worn though

Anything will be an improvement over the compression i had

TBA!

I am staying NEO... Just far from stock

Lol there is always one that has to start this argument I actually broke 2 boxes with the sprung centre and the recent failure was due to a selector issue which destroyed 4th and 5th gears.

Lol pull your finger out then! He did retire, but still looks after existing clients and picks and chooses work to keep himself amused. I probably could have got a few more years out of the clutch but might as well make it fresh while its out. Lol you can have that award all to yourself. The new engine will be far from stock... But look stock from a far

Lol you animal! I pulled mine out before total destruction as i am building the original

Well the decision was made not to go with another stock NEO as the risk of failure again with the new EFR setup was too high! It was OK belting around the track on 300kw with the old setup but the bigger turbo is pushing high 300s on gate pressure with a worn out engine, so time to step it up a notch... Making space to get the engine out... Fills up quick once everything comes apart - Prior to removal - Just jacking this thing up with the aero is a pain in the ass - Removal is methodical and time consuming - Fabtech's work of art, not so user friendly when it comes to removal, but should be one of the last times it comes apart - You can see where the paint burned prior to the turbo heatshield was fitted next to the EFR, its pretty well hidden when everything is together. Once the new setup is complete i will clean up the engine bay back to its former glory! Just cus its a race car doesn't mean it cant look good! Evidence of engine issues... I can shift the crank back and forth by hand... This was actually unexpected but does explain a few issues i had over the past few months. So much room for activities! Super Cheap Auto had a half price special so got myself a new engine crane and leveller! Making a fkn mess Clutch is off getting a freshen up. Its done years of hard work and still performs faultlessly but while its out i might as well! Can finally access all the lines that have been run over the years with the engine fitted and the mess just got more and more... Will spend some time routing stuff and cleaning up to make it easier to work on in the future. Was a pretty painless removal. Used whatever i could find laying around work to get it transported safely to our stretch wrapper. Stretchwrapper did the trick! It wasn't going anywhere in a hurry! So i just got an email as i was uploading these to inform me the engine had already arrived at Racepace (Bayswater VIC) which was under 24hrs... Not bad TNT! While the engine is off getting built i have a long list of changes to make to the car for reliability as well as performance. I am not sure if we will make Round 1 of the NSW Super Sprint series as yet, really depends on the engine build time... We will do our best no matter what though! Once the engine is back and in the car it will go to DVS TUNING for a run in and base tune... We will run the first few events pretty sedate to ensure the engine is sweet before we run it up properly. Suspension has been upgraded thanks to Josh @ MCA Suspension Brakes have been ordered and will be all new and fresh for 2018 Clutch is up with Jim Berry getting a freshen up, its run since 2013 as is without a hiccup. Tyres will have to be replaced... For those that were interested this is what i ran the 1.39 on - More updates coming soon!

Finally leaving this group... Unfortunately not the way i wanted too lol My stock NEO is finally tired, but it has copped a beating as a dedicated track car for the past 2 years so it was self inflicted! Engine ran over 300kw, just shy of 400kw at times since 2011 and was daily driven up until 2015ish... Since then its been thrashed on track for more events than i can remember! Engine still runs and does everything as it should, its just pushing oil on track so time for a new build! Stock NEO's FTW

Dead thread... Needs more updates!

Suspension has also been rebuilt to suit! This lap was pretty rubbish, but got the job done -

I was going the single gate route but got talked out of it.... No regrets!

I looked at that option but after my 6Boob experience i chose to go down the path of the HypeEx/Fabtech true twin scroll manifold with twin gates... He performed artwork on it and it all fits pretty well! Going to be a prick to take off over the next few weeks so i can get the engine out for a build. Will be interesting to overlay the graphs once i get mine running

Still available.
