You don't hang about

Changing boots is a mission, I have to do it on mine, I looked at the boot look mechanism and stopped

its taking too long as it is, want it finished

also getting a set of trumpets and filters being sourced atm

hopefully get all megaquirt wiring done tomorrow for when i actualy fit it, once the cams are back and i have a set of vernier pulleys. Then can be mapped

gearbox will hopefully be stripped during the week, and lsd with 4.29fd fitted

then will swap gearboxes and fit a new clutch kit, im down to 35 minutes to get the box out now

you have some seriously bad luck!!

nothing has done wrong yet, bar the fact the engine uses abit of oil, guess thats what you get from not replacing piston rings!


not much happened this weekend, to busy drinking

fitted dealer sport stickers,
sorted out exhaust, which needs weilding
and washed it

Looking good. Glad its you doing the loom I hate car wiring



Thought you said you wasnt doing that with the 6x9's when i suggested it
Did you back the cards with mdf? Otherwise they are a bit flexy
