Wow. there is a bullshit amount of time been spent on the body of this thing..... and then just to drift it. haha. i drift myself but i couldnt bare to spend that much time on it. it is a top notch build non the less.

Grate job and plenty of different ideas comming together.

i have the drifting bug, it's not had any kind of motor or mechanical failure. once i finish this new exhaust setup off i can take it to places with noise restrictions such as lakeside. so im gonna enter sprint series next year. its down to just having to change a few suspension settings and this grips like all hell.

Got any pics of the haltech install and ls1 coils and what not?

no i don't sorry, but the haltech sits behind the head unit, and the coil-packs are behind the dash where the heater-box would bolt up. this car runs an electronic heater demister.

this car is friken awesome, good on you man !

where did you get those clear headlights? im assuming the kakimoto regu 06&r is loud for street duties?

clear lenses my mate hughesy imports them, he goes by the name of freeworks > freeworks <

kakimoto regu 06r is so quiet its perfect for street, i put a dumper on for the track as the i get a good 1000-1500 rpm more spool from the turbo.. DAMNN that mid muffler, but its so nice to drive with.

im in the midst of toy-ing with a solenoid system

awesome build mate. good to see a young bloke not afraid to get in balls deep and give it a go. I know at 21 I wouldn't have gotten anywhere near that result mate. you should be proud.

    • OK. But what about parts of the block that, when assembled, were twisted into a position that pushed into the void space, which, when disassembled, then released that force and opened back up, thus putting the grout into tension? Would effectively just pull the cast iron off the grout at the interface, leaving a tiny void and benefitting not much at all. Swings, and roundabouts. It's like putting something tiny into the fleshlight and finding out you needed a smaller one, to perhaps follow your area of expertise.
    • Nah. You buy a kit that has shorter tubes.
    • I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.
