Nice and clean dude, whats the offset on the Watanabes?

[timbo]

not sure robo, i will have to take the wheels off soon to do the brake upgrade so i will find out!

atm to get everything up to scratch. for example, brakes have just been rebuilt and i have ordered new rotors and pads. slowly going through the car and replacing old bits and pieces like seals and gaskets... did the dizzy o-ring yesterday, bypassed the cold start with a home made gasket so i don't idle at 2100rpm! next is the new sump with proper oil return for the cooler. i couldn't get it off the other day as some clutch bracket covers up two bolts, so pissed!

long term plans are a track worthy car. would like ITBS, computer to run them and some cams (270ish?). but for now mainly brakes. maybe new radiator and a thermostat like a trd to help with cooling, qld heat = engine fail.

ok here's some more pics. the rain cleared so i gave it a wash.

first "mod" i did, you can just see it. ag pipe to the filter! it really made a difference.

[marvis]

Mint!

Plans?

[timbo]

well the car is in the shits atm... changed the dizzy o-ring and the fucker wont get back in time. hopefully it will be sorted by tomorrow. even the mechanic couldn't work out wtf was going on.. read more here

[blackknight]

make sure you put the dizzy back in exactly how it came out if you put it back in and it's 180 degrees out it wont run properly.

i had the same problem , i got over it and pulled the motor out haha my motor was pretty much dead anyway though.

[timbo]

hehe yeah, i was very careful with marking it and all, bastard just wont rev... should have an answer this morning!

[timbo]

righto, put the new rotors, pads and braided line today with the help of marco (thanks again man!). brakes now = fkn good. seriously fkn good, definitely recomend GSL and the a1rm pads.

seems now that my reving trouble is fuel related. we changed the fuel filter and noticed quite a big difference. so we think the injectors are the problem as the pump works fine (we found out the hard way...). i originally thought it was something to do with the changing of the dizzy o-ring but i remember that i also got fuel the same day... possibly a bad batch of BP 98 as a family member also recently got a bad batch of BP 98 fuel.

anyway here's the brakes and the back sanded ready for some new paint. oh the offset on the wheels is +3, robo
