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. David |
iam not really sure mate only started to use the stuff and it's good:DD:
|

Top quality work going on :top:
24v is a great engine as well. |
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!
|
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:god:.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
|
Diff and sump guards??! Is this going to be a rally car? Or just a well protected road car :cry:
|
all iam saying is there is alot off really good back roads where iam from:DD:
|
hope to have a good update this weekend for the one's that are looking:top:no longer a 2.9 boa;-)
|
Hmmm? Sounds interesting.
|
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 :) |

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! :king:
Now to get this 4.27 diff in! Thanks for the genuine sale lad :top: |

Yea :D 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 |
