UPDATE 04-05-06 (see date above!!!):

Thanks for the support guys, I have a bunch of pics to put up from today... but I am just so buggered it isn't funny, I just got home, started at 6am this morning and will be back there at 5 am today... yes TODAY.

So... [start REALLY REALLY excited voice] we painted the inside of the car tonight!!!! I am so stoked that I don't think I will be able to sleep... actually, I will be able to sleep, but am still over the moon that we finally have paint in the inside of the car!!!!!

Tomorrow we start to put it back together, having a day off on Saturday, the back at it all day on Sunday, and Monday Tuesday Wednesday also... then back to work.

I cleaned up all the Engine accessories today, you know, oil pumps, oil coolers bolts etc... they look a million dollars, well at least brand new! :O:D:ban:

The bottom end went to be balenced also today ready for final assembly on Sunday, I actually think we will be putting kms on the car by the weekend after this one, and then tune and wow... we should make it!!!

Happy to chat to people on sunday, but I'll not be downing tools to chat, will be chat on the fly. The car is at Waterhouse Auto Care in Penrith, so drop by and say hello!

Anyway... Here are some pics!

Dan.

UPDATE 06-05-06:

Yesterday I had a really interesting and exciting day... plenty got done on the car, with pedels, steering wheel, hand brake, various engine bay components and 1/4 of the wiring loom going back in.

I'm not working on the car today, but tomorrow will be a full day tomorrow assembling the bottom end, which will hopefully be running by Friday next week!!! I also plan to finish the wiring also tomorrow.

Yesterday I also got something REALLY big started... I know you are all going to hate me, but I can't announce anything about the deal yet until it is sealed. BUT... IT is HUGE for me so as soon as I can let it out I will post in here!

No pics today gang, might get some more tomorrow!

Cheers,

Dan.

Before I retire for the evening also kids... I was at MFX today picking up my rear bar and the Drift Cat and her man Trent were there having her car sprayed.

We got talking about the HUGE task of stripping out the tar sound deadening...

Apparently 10kg's of dry ice on the tar, you cover the whole floor section with it, wait for it to start making a cracking sound and hit it with a rubber mallet! It lifts off and leaves a perfectly primed surface ready for painting!

Takes 45 mins to an hour... I HATE finding things like that out now!

Sleep good kids,

Dan.

Hoping to have out out of the workshop the Wednesday after next, then a quick drive to Melbourne and back to run it in... and finally out on track for a shake down on the 22nd of May.

Should be fun trying to get that all done!

Cheers,

Dan.

Yeah... next car will be that way! No more heat gun and chisel for me!!!

Princess, we will be getting on the grog in Mallala... I actually have a spare bed if you want... but you better be quick!

Pulled the stock turbo off today to check it all out... nearly no shaft play at all, and still spun freely so all good... compaired it to the new one and OH YEAH BABY!!!Have to check... but I'm sure that it is bigger than a 25/30... more like a 28/35!!! :D:D:D

UPDATE 10-05-06:

Bottom End complete, Head arrived back today, Turbo ready to bolt up, Wiring in (Just thrown back in at the moment), Suspension left Japan (Finally). :)

Tomorrow; Make up custom cooler mounts, begin making custom Oil catch can... Hope I remember how to weld!!! :)

OH... I have to go back to work tomorrow arvo... :D :D :(

NOT happy...

Sorry about the short update guys... but I need some sleep!

Cheers,

Dan.

    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
