Dont document it. It makes you cry. Especially if there are prices. I pull out my car file sometimes, and just look at how bloody thick it is. :D

Ill leave the prices out lol!

Gets painted in about a month (depends on availability of painter coz he is my best friend and is doing it on the side for me) just like this....

Gearbox gets attention as it currently has no 5th or reverse, suspected selector, retune, rims + brake upgrade. Which should all be in hopefully by midway through this year :)

Requires other minor attention in places, high mount manifold has a few cracks in it that need repairing, upgrading coilpacks, some other minor suspension bits n pieces I want, some of which is on order... its all coming together.

Meanwhile there is another project engine in the build... *taps nose* no pics til at least this weekend of that though, lets just say I like to stroke it :laugh:

Hope u like.

umm my engine is still in pieces as it is being sent off to be rehoned and new rings and have the head bleed tested. Whilst that is happening I am stripping the rest of the engine bay for paint. Hope to have her on the road some time this year (nearly comming up to her 1st bday with me and she still hasn't been on a cruise. I have started polishing items such as the greddy plenum and the cam covers but heaps still left to go.

benigno: josh'es car is starting to come together nicely with that kit you were fitting the other week.

mine is nearly done.. just need to track down why I'm not getting any voltage to the injectors, and it should tick over. All else though is looking good. Hopefully sometime this weekend I can actually drive it down the road a little and see what i've forgotten to hook back up properly :D

powerfc has also arrived (thanx gr3ddy!) so should come together nicely once tuned and ready.

for mine I'm aiming for a track-reliable 220-230rwkw with a highflow rb25 turbo... with more emphasis on handling and response of the setup rather than outright power.

Then you and I will have 'comparisons' right??

The guards fit perfectly with a bit of persuasion, at one point i stressed a bit... you kind need to flex the middle out a bit, to get the top bracket in the door and the last bolt in the top of the guard up near the corner of the bonnet to fit correctly, but with a bit of mushing around... fit on perfectly, only real drama was the indicators not fitting in real well, but that was taken care of with a bit of sanding and prep for the paintjob, was just a little inside lip they hadnt sanded back far enough.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
