its a kachunk sound, and the throw is perfect & precise

Remember when cops in aus used to give you cash money if you blew a zero when they pulled you over?

... or fail to raise their eyebrows when you fist pump and "yass" loudly after blowing under.

Also, I enjoyed watching SingallZ itshay in his own thread.

Engine's in, still need to test a ton of sensors and the fuel system before I can start it

I'll bring the mini, you bring the bug, we'll bring lots of spare tools, and we'll hang out.

Its done (again)


gonna rip the yellow off on the headlights. I don't like it, but I got lazy and it's stayed on there


Had the engine tins powder coated, had it colour matched to the interior. Gives it this old 70's farm equipment or lawnmower look



It kept blowing out oil seals due to a larger pump and fresh bearings so I mounted a remote cooler, below is the old one, which wasn't up to the cooling task for a 2.1L with more oil pressure

Seal below the oil cooler was trying to find a way out


I'll grab some pictures of remote cooler, thermosat, fan unit and how its mounted under the car, plus some other junk soon. In the mean time heres a 3rd gear rip and the very first idle
