Is the car MIVEC?

Congrats Ben your FTO is now running and on the road
Awesome stuff, Great job guys

Must have been you lawso that I saw yesterday in parramatta along george street around midday.

Couldnt miss the white and grey?

I gave you a good stare but couldnt tell who it was under all that hair.

yup, was me steve

was running really late for work, probably why i didn't notice you, sorry mate

It's been a while, so now it's time for an update


INDICATORS THAT WORK!


Vielside wing. i didn't like it till i saw it with the twin exhaust setup. (pic coming soon)


Facelift lights are in, and wired. just one more step to legality


New half polished plenum with samco radiator hoses and ghay sticker on the left suspension tower.


RED DOORS ARE GONE!!!!!


Most of the red has been removed. the stuff left is cracked and hopeless. yes i know i'm missing a tweeter out of the passenger door


scuff plates the illuminate, not yet connected


What else has happened.

-Manual Guague cluster
-Almost complete removal of red crap
-Front bumper has come off muliple times, and found out my bumper is being held on by 2 bolts...or for a better world, cable ties and tape...
-HID's being installed soon, hopefully before thursday's cruise
-replacement brake master cylinder ready to be installed. brake pedal is way too spongy . new brakes and had 3 different people bleed them...
-Apparent vacuum leak causing bad idle
-Had the indicators and tail lights go due to a relay that buggered.

FIXED

That's all for the meantime. in the near future, timing belt, water pump, fuel filter and all the important things to be replaced including a tuneup.

Also, some other pics from when i ripped everything out of the interior

good progress lawso... and associated peeps

good work just 1 Q. Why didnt you do timing belt etc before you put motor in? 1000x easier and $1000 cheaper

^^^^^^^^^^^
This x 1000

I only had Lawsos car in my driveway for 1 day Bennoz.

Want some pointers?


Ever replace that relay Lawso? Or it still all nice and bodgey?

Quick question guise,

just replaced clutch slave and bled, and in the process of replacing the whole dash.

saving up some money for a service, timing belt etc.

i want the motor to come out, as I'd like to do something similar to what shenal has done with his motor, to make it look all new and good.

whist the motor is out, what would be recommended. I'm thinking timing belt, fuel filter, water pump, sparks, and I've drawn a blank.

anything else that would be recommended to get my motor up to close to 100%?

1. Timing Belt
2. Fuel Filter
3. Water Pump
4. New Spark Plugs
5.
6.
7.

and @dan, replaced relay. that break in the circuit was the problem. how that happened, f**k me
