Ok so not posted for a bit, been busy getting bits and bobs don on the car. Waiting for parts to arrive take up most
of it and when they do finally get here, there wrong or don't fit.......I bought front and rear K-sport brake kits for
the car BUT, they was sent for 5 stud not 4, so I have had to get creative with the pillar drill and get them back to 4
stud.

So Next on the job list is to clean up and paint the engine bay as it does have
a lot of bits here and there that need to be tidied up. Im gunna paint it red and
paint splatter it black. I have a bit of an obsession with the paint splatter look
for some reason......

Got a few more bits done today and most of the parts have started to arrive now, so its time
to crack on with it. I have removed the ABS, and have bought the removal kit from DB Power
off here, Dan is great by the way.... Helped me out and got it shipped out straight away, even
when he said he was due to go away!, Nice one Dan ( use DB Power ).....

Some more pictures now.... I kind of cheated with the new engine, As I'm putting
in an sr20det, I thought it would be best to find a complete engine and box. I
thought that it would be hard to do but there are loads around so not hard at all.
I got mine the good guys over at Tuning Developments. Infact Nick and Mike have
pretty much sourced most of the parts for me, again people should use these, they
are very helpful always want to make sure you get what you want great lads down
there.
So here is the new turbo.
Garrett GT28 71R
Kinugawa actuator
This should get me some fun..
Ok, so as I said I got the engine and box complete from a car that was being stripped for
parts, it is low a low mileage motor and was always serviced regularly. So Im not gunna
start going down the road of taking it apart and forging this that and the other just yet,
so I have just cleaned it up and give it a lick of paint, both the engine and the box.
Also got some red Anodized pulleys to finish it off, and i decided to polish up some of the
engine bits like the manifold, engine hook and water pipe. Went crazy with the polishing
mops....

Good job mate, looks stunning. Wheels back to white for me...

Cheers mate, And I know I was tempted to just leave them, but they where very scratched
and the white paint was fading so they needed something new

Ok, bought a copy greddy manifold........ enough said.
It looked pretty good at first and for the pennies that I paid for it, well worth it too
However I asked the seller if it will fit a 70mm universal throttle body and if the main
feed was a 70mm hole, He replied yes. but when it came it turned out to be smaller
as I kind of expected it would, so much grinding and stencils where needed for this
one....
As you can see that is not a 70mm hole, so my die grinder spent the next 2 hours
working overtime.
Had to get the right size, so away with the arts and crafts!!!!!
I think it looks pretty damn good and looks miles better than the standard one, but who knows,
Defiantly adds a bit more to the engine anyway, and for the not so expense of buying it, as it was
very cheap, Im very pleased with it.

Got the new seats today,
I spent ages looking for a seat that would fit my arse in it, and it turns out that only two seats are on the market
That won't leave you broke for the year..... Them being
Sparco evo
OMP trs
I have gone with the mop seat, but getting fat man seats to fit well in a 13 ain't an easy task. The seat rails were in all the wrong places. The seat was too high too close to the window, awwww what a job....
But, there in and all good. I shall get the pics on tomoz.
I am also looking at buying a carbon wiper linkage trim cover for an s14. Wondered if anyone knows if they fit onto a 13. I don't want to buy it and the it don't fit.
