Have done about 100km's around my area to bed in the brakes, and they are scarily strong.Need to do the final brake bleed and re torque bolts and nuts.

oh, i hope so ;) testing will be fun...

Making the front end more efficient for cooling..forcing as much air as I can into the intercooler then the radiator.Moved the oil cooler to the side with its own air feed from the factory fog light opening.

Thanks! I do miss the hatch, it was with me for so long... I don't think its in me to keep something stock and I think the engineering keeps my sanity at bay...

have been chasing a cooling isssue and realised that the only difference between the VR4 and the ZR4 were the bumpers... so here we go...Took off 5.1kg of weight off the front bumper reoAlloy air dam and some plastic garden edging to blend it all in....

All I could find:Youtube link still works:

unfortunately thanks to photobucket kicking the bucket years back and my old Western Digital hard drive shitting it self not long after..... I have lost almost all the photos... i'll try and dig up some, but no promises..

Unfortunate rust repair....Filled the centre carrier bearings in using a 2-part silcone mix with a shore 45a hardness. Should hopefully stop the slop in the drive line.

:)Had to down grade brakes from my 6piston Porsche calipers, back to Evo 4piston calipers to clear Evo 7 wheels.6X9 rear shelf adaptors, bolts into stock grill location no need to cut shelf (can be put back to stock)

Id start a new build thread, but the cars are connected so lets just continue this one....Lets begin... how it looked:Pretty much stripped and swapped everything over. Rebuilt the HVAC system with new foam and clean insides, ripped out the old climate control and A/C and replaced with...

Forgot to update this....September 2021 the car was involved in a head on crash (the other drive "didnt see us, and turned directly in front of us at speed). We are fine but the car is a write off (A pillar moved about an inch back)Luckly I have a back up car that will be a new project...

Paint and finish Bled the brakes, initial feel is like stock with a lot more bite. Still need to bed brakes in and test more.

Hand brake cable: From a CT9a Evo It is annoyingly just short, nothing a machined spacer cant fix. Uses all factory mounting pointsJust waiting on new brake pads to arrive.

Cheers mate.I dont actually, i'll probably take one once I get it back on the floor.

Thanks mate.Current job is Plant Maintenance Engineer, but i don't have any qualifications on paper (worked my way up without schooling, all hands on etc, so many different jobs). I build other peoples cars on the side. I am a qualified massage therapist, it paid the bills and got me some...

Yeah..... I started that then gave up on making it track worthy. Way to much designing and memories to possibly wreck it. Turned it back into a cruiser and put the sound deadening back in. Now its just for pure shits and giggles for designs i want to try out, pure fun now.

Got sick of the power steering whine on long drives, finally moved the pump further away from the fire wall. Routed the hotside pipe around the power steering pumps new location. Can't hear it in the car anymore.old positionnew location

It has been 10 years or so since i installed the reverse head for shits and giggles, was a budget build so reusing valves and springs etc was the go. Probably time I rebuild the head properly.Super Tech valves BC springs Switched from HKS 272 to GSC S1Checked over the pistons and rings...

Pressure testing... found a leak, should have rebuilt it when i bought it many years agoNeed to remember to empty my muffler water more offten (yeah e85 can suck when you dont drive the car enough)Cut off a hotdog to see how it would sound.... still not loud.. Got bored and added a...

Wheel upgrades: Lenso Venom3 18x10 +20 255/35R18 Falken's Lost 3kg a corner compared to previous set up

Superchargers are getting harder to find around here, going towards a compoud setup.Also the BorgWarner S200's are really cheap these days, so a few ideas being tossed up.How ever buying a house soon might stop this for a while, so hopfully I get tuned before that happens :)

Um basically.. i got.. bored? Ahahha... my other intercooler was just a freeby from a friend, and was fairly aged (paint made it look good) so it was time for an upgrade (thank you ebay sales).Design is due to space constraints, but its not as bad as you might think. I spent a few hours with a...

Intercooler upgrade:

I wanted to run all the Autometer Cobalt stuff to match my cluster, but the digital ones can be logged and more compact now days.. I might go back one day..

cheers guys!Its funny that the original gauges are so ancient, they are actually Stewart Warner lol..

Few photos from last meet before the virus thing hit..

Its been a while... small update:Old gauge setup:New gauges Innovate and AutometerFlex fuel sensor for Gauge and future flex tuningRPM gauge adaptor: Previously running stock vr4/dsm original ignition system with dummy load to get my RPM gauge to work with Evo7 ecu with COP, but...

I somehow had a warehouse all to my self.... decided to do a small photo shoot..

Cheers gents!

Its been a while...BOV moved right next to the Throttle, much sharper response through the gears..

Just from the above tells me that your external waste gate is stuck open. If you pinched the diaphragm, you would technically over boost as the boost pressure is what opens the waste gate.Block the external gate somehow, and see if you can hear the turbo spool while free revving the engine...

finally getting to enjoy driving this around to meets and just anywhere really...2200cc injectors idle like stock on e85Also found out my fuel cell is fairly big... E85, tune is average, did 135km and gauge says i used just under 1/4 tank (also cruise control helps)Custom Cars and Coffee...
