Mint!
Plans?
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.

Under Diff FTW

first "mod" i did, you can just see it. ag pipe to the filter! it really made a difference.
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
i had the same problem , i got over it and pulled the motor out haha my motor was pretty much dead anyway though.
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.
hehe yeah, i was very careful with marking it and all, bastard just wont rev... should have an answer this morning!
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
