Cheers Richard, very happy with how it turned out.

It will be interesting to see how you go Scott. From what I'm told, and it makes sense to me, is that the standard fuel tank is a benefit for our cars in terms of weight placement (lower CoG), weight transfer on power down, and airflow under the car (not an issue with a flat floor if that's what you're planning). It was for these reasons that I decided to stick with the standard tank and go this setup: Unknown in tank fuel pump Bosch 044 external fuel pump Autobahn888 Surge tank Custom enclosure Sard Fuel Pressure Regulator AN#6 fittings Custom CPC Fuel Rail Sard 800cc Injectors 2 x Fuel filters

For reference, the RPM switch linked above is what's in my car.

Love the 22B, would definitely be apart of my lotto win collection

Here is my setup, mounted behind the passenger seat.

Nothing to the Rex mate, just the 180 It's was hard to do too much with only 9 laps for the day, though you managed to do it in 3! Do you still think it's a big end? Sounded like it to me.

After 100m give it to me!

Good stuff

Mmmm so nice! I have so much love for the FD's still

Are you replacing the R100?

Looks good mate!

Ahhhhh Harry, I was looking for an SR20 a few weeks back! Pity I didn't know

Must have been all those black cats I've run over lately! Scott: Looks the goods mate, well done

So depressing

Awesome.

Awesome stuff!

Looks awesome, especially the engine bay. Well done.

Thanks Richard, and you're dead right. I've just spoken with my mechanic and he's picked up the engine so next week it should be in the hands of my mate and hopefully this nightmare will be done with Have bought tickets to come and watch though so at least I'll still be there.

Too patient I think Russ! I hope your 32 makes it there though, would be great to see it in person. Oh well, live and learn I suppose. I should have put an LS engine in it and been motoring around years ago!

Awesome job guys, it's a credit to you both!

Unfortunately I need an engine Russ! Basically the situation is that my engine builders are taking an extraordinarily long time to get anything done as it's warranty work (water mixing with the oil due to a combination of incorrectly matched head/block decking and the sleeves dropping slightly in the bores), and I'm now not convinced that they are taking the time and care required and so as of today the engine is being taken from them and given to some people I trust in order to put it back together, and they cannot guarantee it will be ready in time due to other commitments such as Easter this weekend and the LSX Nationals the weekend after. It may be ready in time, but the cost risk of me not being ready is fairly high, and secondly I'd feel pretty bad if someone else missed out on entering based on the chance I may make it. I have been searching for a replacement engine for the time being but have been struggling to find one in good condition for a decent price just to get me by until after Superlap. I am so far from impressed with them it's not funny, and am using a lot of will power to not go down there and give them a serious piece of my mind in the interest of diplomacy for my mechanic who has other engines down there currently. There is no issue anymore, it's all ready to be screwed back together. Rings have arrived, bores have been honed (6 months later) but the risk of them taking another 6 months to screw it together is too great so I'm pulling it from them.

It's a tough choice, with both options having their merits and detractors... I've been in the same situation as Scott ( SABBAi ) and driven my car 3 hours home from Shepparton with my external wastegate held onto my manifold with a piece of coathanger, and have driven home from Morwell with no first gear or clutch. Both were not fun! That is the danger of having a daily as a track car, let alone the possibility of binning it completely, but the positives are that it's cheaper, much easier to get around, you'll get a heap more use out of it and won't be tempted to do silly things with it as you know you need to drive it on the street. Having a dedicated track car lets you go wild on it as no street compromises are required which is great. Downside is cost, storage space, and getting the thing from A-B. When I need to go get a wheel alignment it becomes a 3 hour ordeal instead of an hour in a street registered car. It can be a massive pain in the arse, and I sometimes think I should've kept rego on the car for reasons such as this. But I also like knowing that when I go to the track and have an issue with it I can just put it on the trailer, park it and worry about it when I get the time/inclination. As for your choice of car I think an S14 is excellent if you do decide to go that way. Quick, reliable, lots of parts around and cheap enough.
