Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

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 :)

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

Are they circlip hieght ajustable? If they are, just take them to a machine shop and have some more gooves machined.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest.

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.

      Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...

      If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.

      If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
