I managed to take alook from my PC at home - engine looks gorgeous.....
What about the wiring though - are you going to hide it away? or make it shout??
|
|
Wiring will stay as it is. To much work to hide, and all other options (sleeving etc) were expensive as budget has been maxed for now. |

Hey Nick. Can you tell me how, where you would hide the wiring? I really like the idea of making a really clean engine bay, but dont know how I would do this. |

Re-using any old hoses that are still in good condition, then will replace them over time. |

Dizzy is my original, just replaced everything and painted so its like new. Fuel line I bought ages ago when I first decided to rebuild the engine, just had to cut to length and put the ends on. |

| Is the timing belt cover something you've made or did you buy it? |

I bought it, but it is just made from an OEM cover. Didn't have the patience to work with plastic.. although now looking at it I probably could have made it quite easy.

Air-con is staying out for now, but will keep it just in case.
Just got the car back from my trusted mechanic/dyno tuner who was sorting out some issues. Currently running it in so have to keep it under ~5psi, but will let you know what its like once its run in. Will go back to the dyno for a tune and power run.
Should be getting a new exhaust on Wednesday, also got some lowered springs to put in. On the downside I think a CV or bearing is on its way out in the a*se end. |

Update: CV joints are fine, however some d***head (me) left a few bolts only hand tight up the front end 
Back to running it in now, had to fit a ghetto heat-shield over the exhaust mani as it made my battery holder a bit soft and deformed .
Exhaust booked for Tuesday and new slotted rotors ordered.
Pretty happy that its back in time for summer. |

What are the rotors you have ordered Mr Sawyer?
Both front and back? Keeping the stock calipers? |

| Ordered slotted DBA rotors, as they are cheap and Australian, so easy to get my hands on. Only the fronts for now, honestly don't think the rear does enough work to need them. Yes, keeping stock calipers. Might get some braided lines later down the track, but basically just upping the stopping power/reliability a little to match the increase in power. |

Just fitted the same DBA slotted rotors to KOF33 with EBC greenstuff ceramic pads on the front and EBC redstuff pads on the back and st/st braided brake lines.
Dont know how it feels yet as I have the motor out at the moment. |

Ah, good to know someone else is giving DBA rotors a go.
Just when I thought I had run out of things to fix on this car the clutch has started making funny noises. Most likely the thrust bearing. Not sure why, the whole assembly is new  |

| Could it be something simple like the clutch cable settling and just needing a lil adjustment? |

| I think now that its just gear chatter. The hardness on my gears was fairly worn when I had the box apart.. everything works so can't be arsed pulling it out just yet. |

| Sometimes you meet really gifted people, most of the time in a certain profession or art. Sneaza is like that, he's the 'Plastic Magician', but you are certainly a match when it comes to engine detailing, incredible what you accomplished, a real work of art. It gives us humble wrenchers something to aim for! |
