Been pottering on it last few weekends. Red back evictions completed. Got a battery back in and redid some of the lugs to accomodate larger bolts into the new batteries poles. Fuel gague read empty with the fuel light coming on every now and then so I tried to drop in 25l of fresh 98 and it almost overflowed. So just drained the tank out with the fuel pump. Not sure what to do with the 65 litres of varnish I pulled out. Fingers crossed fresh fuel helps the cause and I can get it out for a wash.

Brakes completely transformed, zero gripes with them now. Consistent progressive reliable pedal, endless stopping, didn't lock a wheel all weekend on very old A050s. Setup is: Front AP CP5555 calipers, some might say are too small for the rotor but they work so eh Front rotor 375x36/5mm Front pads Pagid RS29 Rear standard rebuilt calipers with some Project Mu pads on stock solid rotors Fresh BM50 + booster GKTech ABS delete kit

Seems I never uploaded any of my footage for 2012 or 2013. Will remedy. This car will be getting some love shortly now the 32 is moving. There is a good 2 hours of evicting red back families slated for first mod.

Actually if you don't mind can you pls rename tarmac to track @Duncan! That missing "rally" typo has haunted me since 2010 😅

Never tarmac rallies with this, but did got along to a few in my 34 which I still have. Hoping to do a few more at some point in the not too distant future. This car will remain track fun focused free from any rules. Getting back in to some events, some goodies to be added in due course. Doing the 6hr Phillip Island relay in it this weekend, with a few of the SAU Vic crew. Will be strange not trying to go full pace but will be good fun weekend with mates. You still competing in anything?

We’re back baby, 3 kids / 7 iPhones later

Delete ABS for now

Damn been revving the kids up for car museum ... COVID 😠

Top work mate! Love that bay. Lots of work in there between the gearbox and the squirming on the striats - you weren't joking!

Definitely clarify if they want them open or closed when left to dry. Thinking it might actually be best left open. Might be someone floating around here that can translate this (Japan section) - or even ask whoever you bought it off.

Report back if you can, be good to hear how it goes.

Should come with instructions on the tin I would think, I've never actually done it myself but I read up on it a while back. I have a high idle on my 32 post engine build - I had the intake paint stripped / cleaned, and suspect in that process the factory seals are now leaking a bit. From memory open them up, brush the stuff on, close and leave it to dry with them closed and it will form the seal. So you still have the factory coat in place yeah - you didn't scrape it off or anything? Elec contact cleaner is really gentle. You might be fine but me personally I would do the throttle coat, easier than pulling the manifold off again. Will have to do mine at some point when I can be arsed pulling it apart.

What you need is a tin of Tomei Throttle Coat

^ this. I have some 2mm plate tacked over the top of the rails on mine as jacking points to keep everything tip top.
