Finally finished my exams and everything, so I have some solid time to finish this build, with the deadline being the end of July.
So unfortunately, the car still looks like this:

HOWEVER! I've bought and organised quite a few more upgrades, so there's going to be a tonne of progress in the next few weeks till the build is complete.
Firstt off, I bought loads of seals/gaskets/hoses to rebuild the 6a13tt, because.. well, why not. I'm aiming for reliability more than anything.

Next, I bought everything i needed for a the Brembo upgrade/conversion... because... why not.
So that includes, Evo 6 control arms, hubs, rotors, pads, brembos, brake booster and distribution block.
As well as a rebuild kit so I can rebuild the brembos.

They're massive in comparison to the stock calipers.

And of course, being that wide, they weren't going to fit with my XXR's, so I sold them..

And bought Rota Grid R's (17x9+25)
Now i'm not a huge fan of Rota's, but i've always wanted to try this spoke style out, and for what I paid, I'm happy that this complies with functionality > form. Even though they should look sweet on there

(I will repaint them and remove the stickers)

To compliment my brembos, I bought some new DBA T2 Slotted Rotors, and Ferodo DS Performance pads. The rotors are just as big as the rims, it's hilarious, but will look dope!

So finally, with all my parts available to me, it's time to get to work.
Currently working on rebuilding the steering rack, as well doing a top end rebuild of the 6a13tt (Minus head gaskets). Which so far looks to be in great condition.

Oh! And I got the speedo gear and bearings pressed onto the LSD ehuehue.
So by Friday, I aim to:
- Rebuild Steering Rack
- Rebuild 6a13tt
- Assemble Gearbox
- Relocate Brake Distribution Block
- Relocate Fuel Filter
Which are basically the main bits out of the way in order to compression test and properly fit the 6a13tt into the car.
