  1. I just use my phone, and screen shot the photos and use that, they always load. Cars looking good mate.
  2. You not running a booster? That'll help, I've heard a few stories lately about the boosterless (is that even a word) wildwood set ups not pulling up fast enough
  3. So is it black yet?
  4. top work as always - colour is absolutely critical in a build like this, keen to see what you've chosen ( i still reckon you've gone black though) love the attention to detail 😎
  5. Honestly, send them the bill, it's proof it needs repairs
  6. Now you've had it fixed send them the bill, every day oooo and them you'll write a bad google review - yeah that'll sort it 😆
  7. Legendary push to get it done, and damn she's hot well done man - looks killer
  8. huge hustle - no sleeping now! .
  9. Thanks, good to meet you too, was such a good day!
  10. Sent car to tuner, spent a few hours with him and he had it running far better by the time I left, he's introduced the water meth and intake temps have plummeted which is a great sign, he's done some road tuning since too and is very happy with it. We have found a few issues with the belt drive tensioner, and pulley set up, so currently trying to get that re-engineered asap. All going well it'll hit the dyno next week, and I can get it back to finish off the last bits before MMSB.
  11. Entered! Now I really gotta push to finalise the reincarnation!
  12. A couple of solid days work and she runs!!!! Mounted fuel tank, plumbed up last of fuel, and water meth systems. wired in pumps, made up throttle cable and mounts, refitted rear brakes and new lines, all fluids done, brakes and clutch bled etc Cranked to get oil pressure up, checked all fuel fittings for leaks then a mate came over with his Microtech handset and punched a few numbers into the computer and I turned the key...... HOLY SHIT - it caught us all unaware!, it literally fired up into a 3000rpm idle on the first 2 second's of cranking, had to scramble to keep it under control. Its angry, I mean real angry!! , once idle came down it just pulsed its head off, instantly we now know I have to solid mount the motor, it was shaking side to side so viciously we had to turn it off to set the idle, couldn't get near it Unfortunately I couldn't take it around the block as we found the new alternator not charging which will just play havoc with the ECU, pretty sure as it doesn't have a dash charge light, we have to wire one in to excite the alternator. It was getting pretty hot too, I had kept the fans wired as per the BP it used to have, but will swap it over from a manual temp sensor to the ECU to be able to set the temp to a lower point so the fans come on earlier, I may look at upgrading them too. Super stoked with only a few things to rectify before tune!
  13. Engine bay 95% done, just need to sort throttle cable, tidy/clamp wiring, fluids and radiator overflow. Decided to run 2x water meth injectors either side of the throttle body, this is to spread the mix right across the vanes to aide in cooling, and also help ensure that both rotors get a dose to help stabilise ignition. One if the injectors is faulty, so also waiting on a warranty replacement for that. Air Filter sorted, although won't pass cert due to height, but I'll sus something come cert day to deal with that.
  14. Stupid alternator side mount kit remade (after spending $300) to actually fit the car, turns out unless you have an rx7 they don't fit earlier chassis. Also coil brackets made, and fuel filter and vacuum block mounted. Lastly, have opened up the small intake holes and flowed as best as possible into the manifold- looks shit in the images, but go's hard as G.
  15. I'm sure I've said this before but - Brown with these stripes
