Hi Mate

Nice project .................. I use and swear by bonda prima but ......... have you found a way of over painting it quicker than about 3 or 4 weeks? I find it great for holding rust back during construction but a pain if wanting to paint quickly.

draftdodgers

Top quality work going on

24v is a great engine as well.

tjRS500

Love the detail your going to, that car will live another 20+ years now... 24v will be great.. Wish I didn't sell my boa engine last year!

blue oval 24v

thanks men.it's only a base white (subaru white) to try and seal in the bonda rust primer for now. got it free off a painter i know.it's not the colour the car will be.have my beam sent away to get a bit off work done to it so when it come's back i think i will test fit it and the engine so i can make diff/sump guard's

SMILER258

Diff and sump guards??! Is this going to be a rally car? Or just a well protected road car

blue oval 24v

all iam saying is there is alot off really good back roads where iam from

blue oval 24v

Great progress
Your 24v is about to be started (hopefully it will start lol) tried tonight after finishing the wiring but have a very very big petrol leak! Although i upgraded injectors so I'm sure it's pouring from an injector seal as they were a pain to fit!!

Would love to know what way youre going now though

blue oval 24v

good ladwould bloody need too start lol.never had it striped down but cant see why it would'nt start lad.you do know that all the brown's are not all earths and make sure your fuel pump is working good pressure

kieran_macca

iTrader: (2)

Well you will be happy to know I did a few checks this evening(1 of which included connecting the ecu which I forgot lol!) found petrol leak (injector seal, easy fix) and turned her over and she started with barely a turn of the engine! Im proud of myself today lol, I won't be sure if shes running right or not until i make exhaust, fit hego sensors and a few other bits and bobs but atm all seems really really good!

Now to get this 4.27 diff in!

Thanks for the genuine sale lad

blue oval 24v

good stuff lad 4.2 will make a job off her you wont be going back to a twincam ever again

kieran_macca

iTrader: (2)

Yea hopefully it will leave her real nice for drifting!
I don't plan to ever have a twincam in one again :P

Just out of interest have you ever had 1 start perfect a few times but then it wouldn't take revs and now it won't start at all?
Since lambdas aren't fitted yet (no exhaust) maybe its constantly overfuelling and flooding the engines? Plugs did seem damp when I lifted them out
