Just have some other things going in that are alot more important.

I havent seen the car for about 2 months.

Im going there tonight.

Sit in it. Start it etc.

See if that riles anything up.

I said the same thing the other week.

My missus punched me in the arm, called me a faghet, then told me to get my shit together and finish the darn thing.

Finish it dude, you'll be happy once its back on the road

Haha well.

After the whole world called and egged me on to finish it.

Ive decided to finish it and enjoy it.

Thanks guys <3

besides all of that. as of today. the head studs have been purchased, HKS GTSS turbos, Gates timing belt and water pump kit and the body has been blocked back and ready for wet sanding.

were hoping it will be in the oven on monday afternoon :)

You can get em reupholstered, genuine Recaro fabric is like $50 a metre for the standard stuff though :S. Any decent interior joint should be able to replicate the Recaro logo.

Having the brand stitched in comes at a price.... I got my racing seat re-done in a pretty basic fabric without Sparco emblem and wasnt particularly cheap. (mind you racing seat has the wire pulling it tight and got new cushions too)

Rails havent arrived yet. Ill see tomorrow.

Doors are on and being aligned. Some gaps we cant improve on but hey. Its fibreglass. Too much filler and itll be perfect and eventually crack like a mofo so ill live with it.

Also.

Cars almost ready for paint

Turbos arrived and are in perfect nic.

George (OMGGTR) Is coming to do thr timing on the motor and bolt the head down.. its all happening gentlemen. ;)

    • I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly. 
    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • Yeah go with that one
