my replacement intercooler arrived today :D . I'll drop it out to the bodyworks tomorrow, and hopefully the rest of my parts have arrived.

Good stuff. ETA on when the beast will be back on the road yet old kid???

UPDATES for me: all parts have finally arrived bar afm plug.

Hopefully can get the car running this weekend (*free plug for anyone that wants to help* :) so next weekend i can get new parts in and organise to get it tuned :banana:

Want it ready for the HSCC sprint day so time is against me :)

that was dam quick ben.

ive got a few things to get sorted out on my car but i feal it will be remaing the same engine wise for a while now.

im waiting on suspension stuff and i will be starting to tidy some stuf up soon.

you sir should live at the sunny end of the state :thumbsup:

ha thats gold i was gonna say somthing along thoes lines 2. whats that ,one rainy day in the last month.

every time i go to hobart, which has been meany this year (still gay every time i go i might add) it has rained or atleast drissled.

i am enjoying being a passenger in my car at the moment. so much so that i dont want to have to take it off the road for ongoing work.

Well the cage is finished. only took a fortnight. just gotta get the windscreen back in tomorrow. haven't painted it yet as im unsure what colour to do it in. Same blue as the exterior, Satin black or a nice Charcoal grey. What do you guys think? also got the flywheel and clutch to go in so i will do that at work this week. ready for the hill climb this sunday.

paint that cage while the glass is out. charcoal would be my pick. do it as a few weeks back i helped prep and paint a cage and it would have been 100,000,000 times easier without glass.

my front shocks arived today. they are a pair of bilstines of unknown age and condition but they have already shown they are 100times better than the original ones that i had. only problem is that my pedders lowered springs sit to low on even the highest heigh adjustment so i think ill get some whiteline spring on the way or just go back to my standard springs for a while.

now i just need the rears.

Well my car is still a pile of steel, but hopefully I will be able to make a start building the clubman this week - If anyone is keen to build a clubman, apply for the transport approval now! before we catch up with the mainland ADR's at the end of the year, it costs nothing to apply and you have 2 years to build one from the time you get approved. Shoot me a pm if keen and I will forward you the application forms :P

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
