sounds like we might have to plan a work on it once you get the parts in...

There are a few dust specs that will we wet sanded and polished out, and there is a tiny clear coat run on the bottom of the spoiler. Thats pretty much all the flaws there are.
Even where some holes were filled, the turn signals on the front fenders, the antenna and wiper.. can't even tell they were there.
nice... looks awesome... I'm excited to see you around in it once its running

Fine. Pictures with an actual camera.

Interior is still pretty dirty cause I haven't cleaned it yet and probably won't for a while. I Epoxy'd the SHIT out of the inside of the breaky door handle and i will be shocked if it ever breaks. (Terrible oem design. wtf were they thinking? Also.. I require a RHD map pocket lid still.. if anyone just happens to have one lying around. Oh.. and the steering wheel needs to go..





gross dirty:




oh and one more for..

dat wiiiing

took a few more baby steps today..

First I relocated the igniter to outside the engine bay behind the fender. Probably the cleanest "wire tuck" i've ever done too. Mad impressed with myself although it was really really easy lol.



and the result:


mounted coils and plug wires...
not the cleanest thing in the engine but you can barely see them anyways when it's all said and done. I might relocate them to the frame rail later but this will last long enough:


and with the igniter gone, it made mounting the twin power pretty easy:





the flash makes the engine bay look dirtier than it is




maybe i should start studying for exam season..

LOLOLOLOL
jk

Bit of an update..

Got the turbo last week. I'm sure most of you have seen a T04Z but just in case.. heres a piece of canadiana as a size reference


more TiAL:


and a mock up of the last of the aero.
fitment is A- but it really complete's the look. Not painted but they're black so it gives a good idea. There aren't any bolts holding it on so thats why the front is off.

You should really fabricate some form of heat shield for the lim - wrapping it in the gold tape doesn't really do a whole lot compared to a rigid shield and an air barrier. It's pretty easy and cheap too, you can just drill and tap a couple mounting holes in the passages for the acv (if you have it blocked off) and just bolt a heat shield made of your material of choice.

That is allot of waste gate springs!

I need two of those cunts for my new turbo set up

Your motor turbo combo is great! it will perform GAG FACTOR
We can add it to the fast FD thread when you are done

I'll probably get some of these made at the same time i have my water tank fab'd up. cause yeah.. definitely seems like a simple and effective solution.

Got another package in the mail this week.
OH YAY CAR PARTS!! so excited..



sweet.

wait.
wait..

fuuuuuuuuck


i can't remember the last time i had an internet purchase go smoothly. Actually, yes i can.. 6 months ago when I dealt with banzai.

Although, i think my RR kit is here now. Hopefully they didn't break it in transit. That one could reset the counter. Fingers crossed.



Sometimes i just think.. fuck cars.

damn it's been a long time since i've posted an update.

here are some pictures of the oil cooler install once the above got sorted out:









Theres some more stuff in the engine now too. I think my time frame for starting this is 3 weeks. i should be getting the rest of my turbo kit and fuel system this week so over the weekednd i'll have that on.

I'm waiting for a few fittings and stuff from a local parts store and I'm also having a custom oil filler neck made as well. just need my piping to get here but i'm told its a super easy job.

I'll just be using the stock rad and intercooler for the engine break in because it's still going to be about another 2 months before the shop can have mine finished.

but break in means nothing other 4000 rpm (or something like that, ill have to double check) and no boost. so that shouldn't be an issue.


also mounted a catch can today, my boost control solenoid, and I did some of the best electrical work i have personally ever done on rewiring the plugs / pins on the fuel pump. I took pics of that but they aren't on my computer no and I'm lazy so i'll upload later.

its getting there.. kinda.
once the intake manifolds and turbo are on it will look a little more optimistic in the engine bay

this is some more of what i did today..
probably the best wiring type thing i've ever done.

depinned the electrical connector of the 340 and and put new ones in with some 10 gauge wire to properly feed the pump. They are really good pumps apparently but the wiring is a big restriction.



and it still clips in the pump just like that:









tomorrow i want to get the fuel filter mounted somewhere and thats about it.

But next weekend should be fun
Unfortunately i can't work on the car during the week but it gives you a good break i guess.
