    O.M.G.....

    *faints*

    what a stunnng car both looks and performance wise! I have the highest respect for ppl that are finding the balance bewteen power vs looks. its hard to have both, and both compilmenting each other. this car really brings it together, it has the amazing bold looks and the massive power to back it all up and pull the picture together. what a car. congrats on it, its a credit to you.

    roof spoiler finally attached properly

    ARC gearknob


    still got a pile of stuff on its way so kinda stuck until it all arrives. also purchased an RB26DETT rocker cover set with plug cover...no im not trying to make it look like an rb26, reason being is the rb26 cover has a much better breather setup on the covers, so im gonna get those re-machined to suit earls screw on fittings. looks alot neater too


    will be getting painted wrinkle black

    also removed rear wiper and all wiring, moved washer bottle into the boot and ran cabling for it, pics of that shortly

    Engine back. Also had crank sent away for crank collar machining, crank polish and balance. Will be bullet proof now, bottom end is now good for around 900bhp, short block will be complete early next week. Getting there!!




    Also got the interior stripped to start on making the new engine loom, so much shit on the current one thats not needed, and fuse box is getting relocated to the old passenger airbag hole ontop of the dash

    Fabricated a rear head drain kit from a solid block of aluminium, sits slightly tighter to the block than one you can buy as a kit so no complaints here!

    Custom radiator cowling fabricated at work (this one was the first attempt)

    Eventually the engine is finished and ready to drop in, just a few oil lines to finish beforehand

    applied reflect-a-gold onto the cam covers to try and protect the cam cover paint, should be ok once the turbo jacket and heat wrap is fitted

    Ko-Na-H - im in bonnybridge if you know where that is, ive had the car on one or 2 sxoc stands in the past but the car has been off the road for the best part of a year and a half, so everyone forgot all about it haha

    oil pipes made up and heat proof sleeving fitted



    and at last the first test fit, alot of hammering of the bulk head later :lol: total nightmare, turbo is going to touch the arches and the turbo housing will sit higher than the bonnet but not that big an issue at the moment, nothing the grinder wont fix :thumbsup:
