market cap of $2mil was changed to $250mil last minute. I dont get that. anyway, my measly $500 will wait till Oct. 

my thoughts exactly, no f**ks given 

I'd like to point out that E85 Scotty recently sold his yellow, stroked out evo, adding to the list of former evo owners.

However, the buyer was old mate Sunkist/Aaron...who previously owned a white one. I wonder how long it lasts in his hands...



Mate I give it a month before that flamin mongrel sells it

If I buy the supra I'd have to allow 2 years for Barry to build the bottom end



No, you would become a 2j fanboi that believes they can take 1000hp totally stock

Lol 2Js are better than RBs no doubt about that

but... 1000hp from a stock bottom end sure...

might only last a few thousand Ks though :)

He likes Toyotas more, it would prolly progress faster than an RB. I notice the Toyota blocks are always the most complete looking in the engine room haha

Shouldn't be much in the way of it besides Barry's daily work now. Machinist took ages with my block but that's done now, so onto the assembly and conversion. I've been told before end of the year so here's hoping.

Ahh really? I thought it was a complete engine ready to bolt in.. I'm guessing he's just giving it a freshen up with new bearings and what not? 

Yep sort of. It was complete (head separated from engine, but intact nonetheless). Barry offered to pull apart the block, check and reassemble...I thought it would be stupid not to while it's out and it's a second hand engine. We found the head comp was way too high from being over machined and some of the machining on the block was rough, so he sent it off to get tidied up. It's added a lot of time to the project but very glad he found that shit before it gave me troubles in the car...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
