    ok couple more updates


    my dad has started to panel the rear of the car off, instead of putting any trim back in just going to panel it in with wood, and felt it.


    fitted a second fusebox, so i can can tidy the wiring up some in the engine bay


    2 new guages, Water Temp, and a volt gauge
    the leak from the rear lights has been sorted


    some more new parts arrived
    TRD engine mounts
    and the Cusco Gearbox mount
    Blitz brake pads
    car is now fully pollybushed



    my plans for the engine have changed slightly,

    I now plan to build a 10k RPM race engine, but that is way in the future
    the procam camshafts, with al lthe upgrades from the drop down menus
    the reytec d1 ecu and coilpack kit
    the forged crankshaft
    4ag forged pistons
    metal exhausr gasket
    strenghtened flywheel bolts
    metal headgasket
    most of the stuff is in this link here
    http://www.tougeten.com/86/index.php...52f91cddcc80ac


    at the minute I still dont have my Diff back, and th dash is still in the greenhouse, although it has all been sorted

    yeah

    will have my diff back next week
    its only been over 2 months

    so can get the car all built up and ready to rock again

    need to go take it for an MoT as well, that ran out on ther 31st Jan
    114 mile round trip for that
    to the only guy I trust to MoT the car for me, I trust very few with the keys to the car after what happened to the white one.

    as for paneling the back off, I did get it done very very very thin MDF and accoustic felt


    need to put the dash back in
    seats, clocks
    wire guages up
    refit drive shaft
    diff and pumpkin
    halfshafts
    tyres on wheels

    and MoT tax and insure the car

    it has been 2 months since the car last started and about 4 months since i have driven her

    today i filled the radiator up and got her started, god what a sound, i missed that so much, the rumble from the exhaust, the sweet sound of a 4A-GE

    dont think i am going to make it

    i need to tax
    mot
    and insure the car
    so I have no realistic way of getting the car through

    although i would love to be there practicing, i will however be there spectating and hopefully getting a shot of danny's S14 just to see what all this stuff about 200SX's being good for drifting

    trailer...... then u dont need ins mot or tax

    btw something i always do when starting a major project is get the car mot'd first, so u dont have to worry about it when u go to put her back on the road with brakes that havent been used in ages etc etc
