You blokes are damaged merchandise :)

We have all owned Gtrs for a number of years now and unfortunately most of the this isn't anything new for us

Well someone could have clubed me to death 14 weeks ago, I would have done it for all of you :)

this is new to me.

I don't have the funds to pay a workshop to build for me.

I really wish I did.

Maybe you should open a shop, be nice to your customers, no bullshit about completion dates and bingo $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I did that, problem was keeping the work load constant enough to stay a float long term

When I started business I kept working for a bloke full time and did mine after work, did that for 7 years, 7 days a weeks and very long days.

Too many people think starting a business is easy and all you need is the money, starting is easy enough but keeping it going is the hard part. You need a skill, a willingness to work long hours and be in the area where most of your business comes from, helps to know people :) OH,A SHIT LOAD OF LUCK!

I struggled once I got it started, making money was easy enough, went to my head for a while. But I was not a businessman type and that also made it hard and easier to make bad decisions :(

if i could, i would.

Unfortunately, haven't done anything engine reco course.

And many mechanics who open a shop have a pre existing customer base in the former of after work, work.

I don't really know anyone who wants work done.

My family live too far away.

Friends are all mechanics.

So, really narrows the field.

Yeah Luke

There is so much more to it , but it is great if you have the talent to do most of your own work, save a fortune and you get the satisfaction of a job well done :)

You hear a lot of blokes say if I had the money I would do this or that, money does not make it work , unfortunately :/

I think my my job would be very close to finished and in their best interest to get it done ASAP and get paid :)

The modifications and the ceramic coatings are done for the Turbo exhaust housing and down pipe and ready to go in . As I understand it from them, it is the last of the mods needed to put the final touches to the build and then a quick tune.

Apart from a pic of the clutch, the drivetrain was finished without another pic being taken while it was up and this gets my attention, being a skeptic :/

Out of all the builds I have seen on forums , this has to be the most boring, uninformative one I have ever seen, like "Wham Bam , thank you Mam" in slow motion.

I hope the the outcome is worth it . Paul, I will let you do a test drive after the final tune and you can let us know if the shit I went through was worth it ?

So I guess it is close, might have to go to driver training school as it has been a while :)

You're spose to be telling us if it was worth it. :D

haha, I will do that but I want someone that has had these cars for a while and SEEMS to know what he is talking about to give his opinion :)

Hows the brakes on this beast?

Backs have about 3500Klm on them, my mechanic up here just put new fronts on, cannot think of the name of them. He said they are pretty good cold and could even take a couple of quick laps but that would be about it.

As I will not be doing track, quality brakes will do the job until I see what I really want to do with the car.

Paul said to try Endless CC-RGs, once I am finished playing :)

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
