What have you done to your car today?

[KiwiJoe]

Took the BL GT in for a service. Got some second-hand Zero Sports engine bay jewellery delivered, gave it a tidy/clean, and installed the Cool Action Intercooler Splitter (nice and easy). The last person who had it in their car had totally messed it up, and it would have been performing much worse than stock, so a good chunk of time was spent cleaning up the perished foam and crap all over it. I couldn't get the radiator shroud on as the screw holding the hood latch wouldn't budge, and started to look a bit chewed up. At least the shroud now looks nice and shiny on the garage floor. Maybe have another go at it later...

Finally organised to send my vf22 to Steve Murch

My list for him to do:

Billet front wheel

Ceramic Bearings

Remove internal actuator and weld flap closed

Blast compressor cover to remove red paint

Port match the ex housing to headers (headers have an up pipe ID of 42.7mm X2 - twin scroll) Ex housing is like 41.6mm

Once thats done I should almost be ready to chuck everything in and go for a tune!

Engine showed up today, Yaay!

Close inspection tells me; I'm just going to swap my rocker covers over, easiest way to remove the extra AVCS lines , use my cam covers, gears etc. etc.

the fun starts tomorrow

I'll take pictures to document

[Rosssub]

Wicked. What are you going to plug the cams with? I spoke to a gent last week that says he has used jb weld twice now with great success. I think I would still rather threaded blanks though.

[94 Leone]

Yeah; threading them and some grub screws with loctite. saving all the bits for later on, when I inevitably get a link. it's gonna happen, not sure when but it will happen.

If only the J2 had a secret switch for running AVCS

[Rosssub]

Nice, that was my original plan if I got some AVCS heads, (Reinstate AVCS with Link).

[94 Leone]

Exactly my plan. except; a link will be a long way off. because I'm poor. and don't believe in debt

Why not get a V7 manifold and ECU?

Haha its not to bad...

Shouldn't take to long

[Koom]

Got mine firing on all four with individual ignition rather than wasted spark. This is one of the steps that's been holding me back for the last few months (along with lots of minor wiring issues that "past Koom" had left as a present for me). So nice to hear it running again!

Also confirmed that the new muffler sounds good without being loud. Can't wait to hear it with some boost through the system!

You gonna wire it in to my BH loom for me?

Time is the main reason really; being that my car is kind of my daily driver and my only mode of transport.

Today I replaced my interior light bulb with an LED one:

[94 Leone]

Today I began my split fel rail mod, but silly me the other day bought 3/8" fuel hose, aand supercheap wont have any more 5/16" til wednesday. Cams are all bunged up though, which im happy with, just trying to align timing, but on the LH head and it will line up half a turn out, but not where it has to... engine is sassing me

[Psylentzer]

Gave her a good clean, and finally managed to pick myself up some window monsoons for my BE. I got the clips with it, just wondering what I should use as an adhesive to fix them to the window frame. Cheers.

Could use some form of 3M double sided VHB tape to secure those? Not sure where to get it though as I just get it from the factory floor at work.

[WRXONP]

Received my hdi ebc-r so can't wait to install that - and got new water temp sensor to get rid of the

Cel

[94 Leone]

Finished split rail fuel mod and even better; I lined up all the timing and got the belt on

ideally I'd have it in tomorrow.

My goodness.. Well done!

[ADIKT]

Just waiting for my white faced defi gauges to show up now

[Munkvy]

Not my car, but still had fun. Drove this round in circles in Taupo last weekend at the endurance race:

3 hour race with a mate, so did 1.5 hours each. Good learning experience as haven't done much door to door stuff before.
