Our patch up job. Looks just like a new one.

behind all that glitz and glamor of race tape is some good old fashioned drifter cable tie stitch work. im sure i should have been a surgeon.

i also thank the porsche as i was able to steal/ borrow some of the the GTR's inner guard to cut up and make some ducting. it helped to.

My vet tells me that chocolate is cumulative in doggies (much like mercury is cumulative in humans)... They can't process it and get rid of it and it can be harmful if enough choco goodies are ingested.

That's why they have carob drops, and not chocolate drops for doggahs!

Just an FYI :yes:

Now he has no Boost bar, and a sick dog... rough day!

A mate's dog ate a whole block of chocolate and she was fine, so I wouldn't worry too much. But yeah, no good for them

My ex eats chocolate but unfortunatley she hasn't died yet... :P

Hey stuart, your evo is coming along nicley, love the cage! good work.

andrew - yeay knew it wasn't good for him so kept an eye on him afterwards, but he seemed ok. hes being pretty spoit at the moment, had a big thick viel t-bone last night, nice lamb shanks the night before and cooked chicken breast and bacon the night before that... all done just for him... better than most get i'm sure!

woo - all the cool kids are running back seats these days, didn't you know? nah, i put it back in so the car looked more streetable and knock down the road noise as I reckon it would make a top recce car... thinking i might keep it now as its coming together really well.

liam - thanks mate, yeah i'm pretty happy with how its shaping up. the fd isn't getting much love though...

Started putting together my first bottom end together today :D

Put the rings on the pistons, then attached the rod with the gudeon pin and locked that in with the circlips. Then i put the acl bearings in the mains, put the crank in on top, then the girdle after that. Then it was just a matter of putting the piston/rods in the block and attaching the big ends to the crank.

Heres a few pics

but i thought it looked a bit gay so i ran some fluro string lines between them and wala i had a string for wheel alignments at the track

and also some ramps to get the car just far enough off the ground to adjust front or rear toe.

i dug up this old photo from my first event.

4 door skylines are so 2008, troy needs a white evo 3 so i can buy a proper road car!!

that S13 sports sedan shell is a pretty good buy for $11k. especially considering the penske shocks etc. If I were building a sports sedan I'd take a hard look at it, as it's a big head start for not much investment, providing of course things have been done well to the stage it's at.

Loving that GT-R Greg...mmmmmmm fat as.

Some new work done on the dash. ECU and fuse box have been mounted where the glovebox was and extra switchger for indicators etc have been mounted on a new centre console panel. I'll put an EGT guage in there soon enough to complete it.

Man, i am all ideas but i need to know what work is doing with me. At the moment there is a good chance i will end up in Cambridge or Shanghai so whatever car i buy next, odds are it will be for me to toot around in whilst OS :D Poor GTSt is just sitting in a factory going to waste.

I cant wait for 6-8 weeks leave and just come home and bolt it all back together and have some fun in it. If i end up in Cambridge it is going to take all my willpower not to plonk my pudgy ass in a Speed 6 or S2 Elise :happy:

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
