Got my timing belt and new Magnacor leads installed today! Also got my other belts done as well, so no more f**king around with that sh*t anymore! :D


A HUUUUGE thankyou and well deserved tinny pop to Tim (vipfto) for his dedication, time and effort this weekend for doing the entire install, I'd be fucked without you mate! :cheers:

Finished cutting out dwaynes custom airbox pattern i pinched at the bonfire, but still cant figure it out. (or just :geny:'d it and gave up)
Either way, when i do have time to finish it with dwaynes permission i will be producing a few and selling them off - if this UAS pipe reproduction goes ahead will be a perfect companion!

Also enquired about another wreck about 30min from me.
Guy wants a ridiculous price for everything! has sold almost everything but a few things, of which is a manual cluster.
Think i might move beyond an FTO for my next wreck - still mitsubishi though i think

Coulda got that down to 15min at my house ;) :lol:
If speed was such an issue you wouldn't be using scissor jacks.

I got them from ebay seller from the states.
Thanks to the strong AUD and weak USD, they are only $60 for 6x shipped.

Even cheaper if you're going for NGK Iridiums bkr7eix which are the right plugs for 6a12-Mivec. Only about $50 shipped for 6x !

Will only do them once i decide to get it in for a tune. Not anytime soon though'

Some pics of the progress, unfortunately doing some panels in my brothers 70k FPV and my mates 50k SS ute so i dont want to use off cuts :lol: Means the VR wing will have to wait till my next batch comes in.
The upper console is a right pain in the fanny, wont be doing another one ever, and i will be keeping my sprayed one in the car, looks better with my current scheme anyway, probably sell this one. Another reason is i cant stand all the minor imperfections i cant seem to get out. While a normal OCD person wont even notice them, i know theyre there and will probably look at them every 5sec in the car :lol: :? Giving the door cups a miss. Probably all ill be doing is here, maybe the steering colomn guard as well.
