Popular Post MRWEST Posted July 26, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 Refitted the dash topper and dash top into the car and got the glove box etc back together on Thurs night. Loaded it up and took it over to Tauranga on Friday morning for a bit of a paint up. Got the new parcel shelf painted up and looking good again, like it should! Progress is good on the exterior, Tunes booked in for Thursday so need to get it back and get it back together in time for that haha, No pressure or anything, still on track for Chrome Expression session. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MRWEST Posted July 29, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 Had a big night in the shed last night working on it. Got bumpers and lights and bezels etc back in starting to look real good. Got the cluster all back together and sorted. Ended up having a rejig of it all and starting again with a new non wrinkle painted cluster. Repainted gauge surrounds as well and pretty happy with how it come together considering. Got a custom cable made to run the autometer box and seems to work fine on the test drive this morn! Needs a good clean as sanding dust everywhere! Car just got taken off for a tune so fingers crossed that all goes to plan this arvo and ill pick it up tonight to finish assembly this weekend. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MRWEST Posted August 2, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2020 Busy week on it this week, Went for a tune, didnt go great, had some coil/spark issues, The coils and ignitors were mounted up in the guard and the wiring wasnt the best anyway so probably should of sorted that first. Getting it sorted by Rewires NZ tomorrow and then will get back on the dyno this week. Got the flares on this week, all the trim and badges etc as well as getting the wheels reassembled for tyres to go on. Finally got the eyebrow chrome for the front that mine was broken, as well as a grill badge so that finishes the front end off nicely. Busy week ahead pre chrome this coming weekend, Interior to be finished putting back together Coil wiring sort Tune Wheel alignment Clean/polish Tyres fitted Then we will be good to go! 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MRWEST Posted August 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2020 Well we made it to Chrome... Tune by Mark Haynes at Revolution Engine Services on Thursday morning which went well. Car was happy as with some revs in her! Wheel alignment Friday morning on the way to the track. Got out for a solid 40min session on Friday afternoon and car run mint, Had it out all day on Saturday on and off till Roll racing. Went to give Billy in his TRATA RX3 a race and had no clutch. Limped back to apartment and the boys pulled it out in the dark in the driveway on Sat night. Managed to find a clutch in Auckland and another mate shot up to grab it on Sat night. We chucked it back in Sunday morning and was back on the track by 10! Apart from that car run awesome and got heaps of good comments which was cool! 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
