playing around with the engine a bit more whilst its out...
getting rid of useless shit makes me feel good too. most of the stock vac lines on the ITBs were blocked off, so I've removed them all. Surely you would be better off going from the plenum pressure rather than combining the vacuum from the 4 throttles together (after the throttle itself) ?
Engine shop crafted some aluminum blanks and popped them in.

after (and with plugs in)
I've been working on making a headlight replacement. Being glass its not as easy as other jap cars, so i made a mold using perspex then bogging any rough/warped edges. Silicone to the gutted light and fill with filler foam. Turned out a bit average, but good enough. Might give fibreglassing a go on the next headlight.
this is one I got off an old PGA member, i dont need an intake up there anymore and it doesnt fill out the space as much as I wanted.
also decided on some new wheels for down the track...
Work T7R's in 17x8 +32. its the most aggressive single piece wheel i could find in 4x100 basically. (without going custom). Not a massive fan of the design, but running 225's and clearing the front brakes without spacers would be swell.
