The parts I need to fix the oil leaks have finally arrived and I can start moving forward with the project again

In there is the speedo drive o-ring and seal and also a new power steering hose, will be fitting them as soon as I get some time (hopefully this week) and get the car back on the ground to get that exhaust sorted out

Awesome project so far mate. Look forward to your posts!

thanks mate, unfortunately at the moment it's little job that must be done before I can get back into the bigger jobs

Friday I fitted the power steering hose and the seals for the speedo drive, but for the awd piston in the back of the box there is no seal,

So I pulled it out and ran a bead of sealant around it and put it back in

I then filled the fluids back up and started the car to bleed the power steering and left it up on the stands. Im going away for a week so will leave it up there and check for any signs of leaks when I get home, it should all be good and I can move onto other things

I'm back from my holiday and went out to the garage cause the car was left on the stands and its dry under there, so the oil leaks are all fixed and I can move on

While I had it in the air I knew it required new castor rods cause it would squirm under brakes and really didn't feel safe at all. I had a set sitting around from a front cut I had years ago, they aren't damaged at all and decided to throw them on. 41580F8E-B3BF-4FF4-9969-68C1691B18AE.jpg That's a photo of the old ones showing how flogged out they were

Woke up this morning to the post man dropping something off and I ended up with this box

Was very happy cause I knew what was inside of it

It's midori front pipes, venom 3.5in 100cpi cat and a kakimoto 3.5in stainless cat back. Now being a typical Japanese exhaust the center muffler is actually only 3in, so I bought a magna flow muffler to replace it and ensure the whole exhaust it 3.5in

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
