Haha motor is out now they got you locked in. Brace yourself for the wait ?

Daz , your the type of bloke that tries to stop the world turning, killer of dreams and one that stomps on optimists, I hate you because you may be right,hahha

We will see , I have faith in these people to deliver on time, you blokes do not know about this type of build thing. Shit , I have been modifying cars for 8 months and know everything :)

Found the motor :)

I certainly hope so, that's how I would have done it

Build the bottom end before yanking the motor from the car then transfer every thing across, upgrading as they go

that was to be finished weeks ago but there was a problem, but the main thing is it is on the go :)

I can understand your anxiety and frustration.

My build started in June 13 when I dropped off the stroker kit and N1 block. It went into the shop around November 13 and I picked it up after run-in with the powertune sorted last Thursday. (There was approx 6 weeks of panel and paint sub-letted to another workshop early this year though that was the only 'side' job)

Though there are few workshops you can trust and expect quality work (especially in W.A) and it all ends up taking longer then expected due to other customers builds of course and usually a few hiccups along the way.

But the end result will be worth it!

All the best with your build mate ;)

Well , that story doesn't help , haha

Shat, it seems that it does not matter where you live the results are the same, they do it in their own time and do not seem to care about the time frame.

But this mob has done everything they said they would do for me on time so I still have a couple of weeks until they are over and it is only that I am getting nervous about my expectations of the results, it is an expensive exercise and it does not matter how many blokes say it is going to be OK, I wonder if I expect too much from the extra .6Lt to give me the response I want without pushing the crap out of it?

Time will tell :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Well my optimism is dwindling :(

RB30 block not back yet , I understood from a few blokes that this could be done quickly as it is not a big job for a well equipped workshop ?

Trannie pulled down, has a problem and still in bits , but no real problem.

Head still out being "worked on"

Asked for a finish date, could not get one :(

BUT I am sure it will be done soon and I will be driving it before Xmas :)

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
