Time for an update on mods and parts hoarding.

Got some new gauge faces with rescaled speedo to be accurate with the 4.778 diff, now only reading 2% high.

Entered into 4&Rotary show at asb showgrounds, car club convinced me to fit the S2 Racing front end in time for the show.
Unfortunately it sits too low and would get destroyed for daily use so took it off until i figure out some sort of air raiser setup.

Designing and collecting parts to redo the interior, making a new center console, radio surround and cluster cover.

More progress.

Got a Suzuki Cappuccino washer bottle to replace the stock one as the stainless headers were boiling the washer fluid straight out.

Started building my custom center console, will be sealed with fiberglass/epoxy then covered in leather and stainless steel.IMG_20180825_195638_226.jpg.0d0e6a53964d02deeb0d44e434c17236.jpg

 

Finally got the guts to take the car out drifting.
Went to a drift day at the new Evergreen drift track at Meremere. Car had no problems throughout the day and the super short gearing worked perfect for the tight track.
Unfortunately only took down a pair of skid wheels which i went through in 45mins track time so i have a boot mounted tyre rack in the works for next time.

Borrowed the brake flaring tool from work and made up some lines to relocate the brake proportioning valve from beside to under the master cyl for more itb clearance.41762098_1956483334411592_3155687543828119552_o.jpg.9ae9170c139e5836cce54a94be28c276.jpg

Fitted slightly bigger brakes (255mm front, 250mm rear) off an NA8 MX5 along with braided lines, new pads and rotors.
Car stops on a dime now and the handbrake has a lot more bite.
