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

Went to see it today.

2 months of primer curing = rock hard primer :D

So bit of an odd update.

Im considering stripping the car and scrapping it when I get it back.

Im over it.

I dont know why. I just am.

Il keep the motor, wheels and kit though

f**k you're a phag, finish your shit flamin mongrel dream boat.

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. ;)

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
