Our patch up job. Looks just like a new one.

behind all that glitz and glamor of race tape is some good old fashioned drifter cable tie stitch work. im sure i should have been a surgeon.

i also thank the porsche as i was able to steal/ borrow some of the the GTR's inner guard to cut up and make some ducting. it helped to.

My vet tells me that chocolate is cumulative in doggies (much like mercury is cumulative in humans)... They can't process it and get rid of it and it can be harmful if enough choco goodies are ingested.

That's why they have carob drops, and not chocolate drops for doggahs!

Just an FYI :yes:

Now he has no Boost bar, and a sick dog... rough day!

A mate's dog ate a whole block of chocolate and she was fine, so I wouldn't worry too much. But yeah, no good for them

My ex eats chocolate but unfortunatley she hasn't died yet... :P

Hey stuart, your evo is coming along nicley, love the cage! good work.

andrew - yeay knew it wasn't good for him so kept an eye on him afterwards, but he seemed ok. hes being pretty spoit at the moment, had a big thick viel t-bone last night, nice lamb shanks the night before and cooked chicken breast and bacon the night before that... all done just for him... better than most get i'm sure!

woo - all the cool kids are running back seats these days, didn't you know? nah, i put it back in so the car looked more streetable and knock down the road noise as I reckon it would make a top recce car... thinking i might keep it now as its coming together really well.

liam - thanks mate, yeah i'm pretty happy with how its shaping up. the fd isn't getting much love though...

Started putting together my first bottom end together today :D

Put the rings on the pistons, then attached the rod with the gudeon pin and locked that in with the circlips. Then i put the acl bearings in the mains, put the crank in on top, then the girdle after that. Then it was just a matter of putting the piston/rods in the block and attaching the big ends to the crank.

Heres a few pics

but i thought it looked a bit gay so i ran some fluro string lines between them and wala i had a string for wheel alignments at the track

and also some ramps to get the car just far enough off the ground to adjust front or rear toe.

i dug up this old photo from my first event.

4 door skylines are so 2008, troy needs a white evo 3 so i can buy a proper road car!!

that S13 sports sedan shell is a pretty good buy for $11k. especially considering the penske shocks etc. If I were building a sports sedan I'd take a hard look at it, as it's a big head start for not much investment, providing of course things have been done well to the stage it's at.

Loving that GT-R Greg...mmmmmmm fat as.

Some new work done on the dash. ECU and fuse box have been mounted where the glovebox was and extra switchger for indicators etc have been mounted on a new centre console panel. I'll put an EGT guage in there soon enough to complete it.

Man, i am all ideas but i need to know what work is doing with me. At the moment there is a good chance i will end up in Cambridge or Shanghai so whatever car i buy next, odds are it will be for me to toot around in whilst OS :D Poor GTSt is just sitting in a factory going to waste.

I cant wait for 6-8 weeks leave and just come home and bolt it all back together and have some fun in it. If i end up in Cambridge it is going to take all my willpower not to plonk my pudgy ass in a Speed 6 or S2 Elise :happy:
