Yes i know you want pics, but ive put a lot into it and i dont want to show it unfinished with shtty bits... well, ill fix as many shtty bits as i can.

Gotta make it as shiny as possible first. :yes:

Right now its fresh, unprotected paint, and acrylic is soft, a hard rub with terry towel scratched it.

So i must wax it before i let it outside again.

Is that other line torque? That would pull like a train!

Very flat for a long way, it must be the V8.

Got the car into the sunlight for an inspection, cos i do most stuff at night.

Polishing in the dark is tricky and you never know if its right. One more wax and a sealer to go.

Anyway, so i took a step back to check the eveness of things overall, and i realized its now ALL MINE.

Its the colour I chose in the shceme i want, with the wheels i waited 2 years to find. Engine bay, suspension, only a few bits inside need attention.

Some of you may know what i mean, when theres enough of your blood spilt in love on the beast, it becomes........ i dont know how to describe it. Its like being totally in tune with the car or something. Like riding a bike. I dunno.

Oh, and the colour in the sun..... smashing! Fantastic! Yeah baby. :banana:

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
