Cheers Jordan that's the bloke that i bought my bose door speak, door lock actuator and power window motor off :) Got it all for $200 express posted so i'm happy.

thanks for the heads up anyway, he bought that whole wreck for $2500 lol he'll part it out for that easy i reckon.

Made progress today. Amazing I know

After finally deciding I needed to get off my ass and start putting this engine together I stripped the block bare, cleaned all the oil gallerys out, cleaned all the journals and bores etc, cleaned the crank, Installed the oil jets, lubed the bores and deck, installed the crank and semi installed the main cradle. Also installed one of the plugs I had to install, the rear ones hard to get to and I was slack to do the restrictors lol

When I come home might even get it looking something like an engine

u must f**k around more then me callan when it comes to engine work haha i atleast do a whole bottom in 1 go :P

I can't even remember the last time your car moved under its own power :)

There was no rush on the engine around Christmas, and now work will hold me up till around the start of Feb

Will make big steps when I'm home next week anyway. Will see how far I get. after the pistons are in, the head is ready to bolt on, its all assembled and torqued up.

ordered my gearbox clutch and flywheel today, F*CK yeah finally. Spoke to deric today too at Clapson he's still keen to do the job, fingers crossed shipment only takes 5 days like the shop says it will in the US. Keeen.

Yeah nah it happened to a mate today he didn't know what to do lol told him to get all insurance info apparently the other person had no insurance so tough titties his car wasn't damaged at all being a ute and the back of her sedan had a big ding lol

I've had people not giving way correctly, not using roundabouts correctly and I think go through a red light doing the same thing as what you said Rob all beep/abuse/be gay

I hate people who sit and give way to me when they are stopping to do a reverse parrelel or angle park. No one knows this rule it seems. Car parking must always pull over and give way

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
