That's all for the minute. Picked up some nice sheets of stainless steel to make a cold air box for the hks mushroom filter. Once the lifters arrive and everything is timed up I'll go about getting the turbo rebuilt as their is a small bit of shaft play

This elusive and expensive little badge arrived today. Think it will really set off the rear end rather than the Halfords ralliart emblem the previous owner stuck in its place

Not much progress lately with the whole Christmas bks acting and generally being a lazy lump absolutely devouring everything in sight. So I eventually got my cam cover painted with new gasket plug hold gaskets. Put in the Ross sport lifters, new camshaft seals, lubed and torqued the cam caps, new set of plugs and plug cover lobbed on for the look. Oh also got a few stainless Allen bolts and fitted the new washer/seal thing that took over six weeks to come from Japan. Anyways it's coming together slowly but surely

been a while since I've done anything with the car while I took turbo off and sent it for reconditioning I decided to remove the intercooler and pipes to clean them out as I wasn't happy with the oil lying in them. while I was in that far I went about cleaning and painting the front panel and anything that looked a bit tatty. I also removed the air con fan which was redundant and made up a couple of brackets to fit some slimline rad fans I had thrown around the shed. I have also ordered a new two post lift so the last few months have been cutting out floors and rafters bracing the roof of the shed hence the slow progress on the car

got the turbo fitted and traced a break in the power cable from the alternator to the battery. I ran a new cable and all my idle issues disappeared. I removed a ralliart badge which was in place of the original evo badge to discover two big holes behind it. one hole sealed and covered with the original badge and I stuck a clip in the other with a snot of sealer until Ifind something a bit more .appealing. also my lift arrived so hoping to get it fitted over the next few days. the car itself is running very well
