yhep

 

215/40/17 on the front and 235/40/17 mate and thanks mate

 

Looking good Aaron ... the carbon really sets it off ... tops

Interesting about the harness ... seems theres a few options out there.

Don't know about the wheel's colour mate ... I agree with Linc ... a proper gold (ie BBS) would really shine against the black and have the effect you want ...

... not in Aus mate ... I reckon it would stand out here with the black / anthracite look ... and will look awesome next to the '500 as well .

Good luck ... keep going

 

That is pretty big. Not rubbing the archers or something?

 

one of my favorite engine!!!!great car too!!

 

thanks guys..

im on holiday at the moment so will update when I get back

 

hi guys i haven't updated this in a while but me and my old man have done a fair bit to the car.. Few things left like refit starter, put diff oil in, bleed brakes, bleed clutch and refit interior, and fit intercooler.

This is how the car looked today, I had to drop it down to get the new windscreen in

 

Lookin good mate

 

Very nice, wheres the wheel colour change??

 

verry nice cars,is them yours all 3 of them?

micke

 

sweet

 

wish my garage was like that

 

i forgot to take that 'wheel colour change' out the title i like the wheels now they look heaps better when you see them, The camera cant pick the colour up for some reason..

 

looking very nice

 

Be great to see the results when you have fitted the Spec-R intercooler.

Steve

 

Yh steve im looking forward to getting it in =) thanks coley..

Cleaning my interior tomorrow ready to go in so getting there

 

im not jealous at all

all three motors look awesome

 

Been a long day had to do a few lil bits in the bay to get it all ready to fire up the first time.. Came to turning the ignition on and the battery lights on then the gauges went off.. The alarm had killed the battery So took the old battery out and put another spare I had in an hey presto all gauges, lights etc were at full power Turned the engine over and it turned which was a relif, put the spark plugs back in, connected the fuel pump and turnd the ignition once again.. YES it fired first time Only real problem is the aeromotive fuel presure reg is leaking on the return pipe, Iv made sure all the connectors are tight etc but still is leaking Guessing Il have to remake a braided line with a new connector to see if that cures it, if it dosent then I know its the connector to the reg or the reg itself.. Over all really happy Tomorrow going to get the sunroof in and most th interior hopefully

 

nice one arron

 

did abit more work today..

Had a small leak on the fuel reg so stipped down the aeroquip hose and found that the braided hose had come away in the middle so the braid had come way from the rubber pipe and the pipe had split in the middle leaving only a think circle of rubber on the actual fitting cut that section of the pipe off and put a new fitting on and all sorted now.

Then got to work on putting the bottom half of the rear seats in which was fun as there was no captive nuts on the rail where the brackets screw into so me and my dad had to piss around with a cable tie . blue tack and some patience but got there in the end..

then it came to fitting all the trim around the car which wasnt as easy as it seems

Tomorrows job is to find a small water leak on one of the hoses, fit the remaing trim and hopefully get the front seats in and get prop bolts

 

This is something im pretty happy with, took alot of pissing around but got the look i wanted to in the end

 

You fitted the Spec-R intercooler yet ?

Steve

 

LOL, you loaded pics as i was typing.

Steve

 

 

Very Nice!!! Top project!!!

 

lol whats the chances of that happening steve

Yhep all fitted mate, wasn't too much hassle pretty much bolted in, Had to use the rad relocation brackets but mod them slightly so i could move the rad over that little more towards the engine as it was rubbing on the loom which i wasn't happy with.. other than that was easy mate

 

thanks mate

 

Best tell Pete what you had to do, im sure he would want the feed back

Steve

 

Already have mate The only other problem which I encountered which is nothing to do with pete was when I was mounting the rad with the rubber bushes there was a hell of alot of play so I then decided to solid mount it ( on advice from pete) only problem was the bolts that hold the bracket to the chassis was fowling on the rad bracket so thats another benefit of modifying the bracket as you have more adjust-ability in left and right which thrn gave me enough leeway to solid mount the rad. Pete has since then fixed the problem by drilling a hole in the brackets which will alow for a counter sink bolt

 

Well done mate - gonna be ready for SFS?

 

Nice mate we need better pics of the car outside

 

very nice!!!

 

Definatly mate should be going on a test drive to see if theres any rubbing etc on the weekend
