    been a very bad couple of years, car is in the garage just needs electrics and bodywork sorting, its kept warm and dehumidified, sorting out the garage and tools tomorrow, i turn the engine over each week and every things fine, not a single fluid leak from any where, with all thats happened i had no energy left for the car, now im feeling more positive and intend to progress

    That's great to hear. Its nice that even in bad times you have kept the car and not got rid.

    nearly 2 years with nothing done on the build, just turning the engine over once a month, now all systems go, its going to take all weekend just to clear out the garage so i can get to it, going to pull out the engine and box in one and drop the sum to inspect the internals, also just ordered one of these http://www.bodyshop-tools-supplies.c...w.php?id=20331 as i need to check the cylinders without pulling off the head the i need to find help with installing the link ecu

    Glad to hear it if it wasn't for your build i reckon mine would have just been a normal stage 2a rather than the crazy twin turbo v8 beast it's becoming.

    near on 2 years away from the SX and im having to revisit all i have done, strange how you forget things engines coming out to do a full inspection, lucky i had the dehumidifier running all the time as theres no corrosion anywhere, biggest job is fitting the link ecu and getting all the wiring completed i want to be driving it to japfest next year
