Looks so good mate!

Cheers Russ. It's been a long time in the making, buts it's now all coming together. Still have to work out my fuel system, but to say I'm excited is an understatement.

Can you possibly do a write up about how cam timing was done?

Interested

You're achieving what many talk about - be over the moon. You deserve it.

I am almost crying after reading the above, sniff

Is this supposed to sound like eBay feedback Burke?

[QUOTE=RoughStilin;701521]Is this supposed to sound like eBay feedback Burke?[/QUOTE]

Yep.

I thought it would be a good idea for any new guys that come on here so they don't waste any time reading about crap Perth drivers or mudflaps.

Mudflaps were going to be my next mod though, along with a set of chrome wheels.

I'm don't even want to read the above. Please delete it

So we got busy yesterday arvo & pulled out the old motor. I was quite amazed at how much oil was sloshing around in the intercooler pipework & headers.

I am very glad to say the old motor is now finally out :) Hopefully the new motor will go in this weekend. Its all ready to be dropped in now :)

Was going to be the motor ment for the STi?

Stuff yeah!

[QUOTE=Master D;703201]Was going to be the motor ment for the STi?[/QUOTE]

Nope, I have used a couple of parts though that I initially purchased for the 2.35 build. Nothing I can't pull off this motor & swap over once the 2.35 is built. though.

Nice, looking pretty good to go

Engine is in. Ancillaries have almost all been bolted up. A few braided lines need to be completed today for the fuel lines & IACV hose. I need to mount the fuel filter & the oil cooler. The bulk of work has been done though. A huge thanks to Geoff & Paul, Neil & Matt for all your help & support when completing this. Its so close now though hopefully in the next 48 - 72 hours I will be turning the key & trying to get those 2000cc injectors to idle correctly. Lots more to do though.........

good luck getting 2k'cc injectors to idle! :)

Cheers Stace..... I have a cunning plan though.

Antilag style of idle?

#makeschickswet

Theres nothing wrong with a 5500 rpm idle. Right?

Wicked! Such an awesome engine.

What are your plans for tyres etc? How wide are you going to run?

I have not 100% decided on tyres yet, but I have narrowed it down to either Hankook Z214 or Z221. The first being pretty much a slick & the second being more of a semi. One of my mates is getting a set of the Z221 so I will wait to see what he has to say about them. Size wise will be 275 / 40 /17 on 9.5" rim.

Should rip a nice skid! Top stuff.

Yeah I been looking at those tyres too. Will prob go the Z214 in a 245.

Are you going to run massive flares?

So much win!

[QUOTE=RUSSGT;705525]Yeah I been looking at those tyres too. Will prob go the Z214 in a 245.

Yeah I am Russ. S13 flares 7cm wide

Wicked!

Gonna beef up your wheel bearing? Like go 114.3?

This has become a very comprehensive setup! Great to see!

[QUOTE=RoughStilin;705533]Yeah I am Russ. S13 flares 7cm wide[/QUOTE]

Nice, they're the same flares I wanna run when I eventually get wider rims and tyres.

[QUOTE=RUSSGT;705545]Wicked!

I know I probably should, be to be honest Russ it's not on the cards at the moment. I will more than likely throw 4 new bearings in the hubs though.

That the thing. Just replace when and if they die.

Mate upgrade those hubs hey. You just gotta do it. Just go better and stronger.
I had some shitty weak hubs and they just blew out like a chick's giggity area does after giving birth. Just blew out the entire region.
#XT43 #kid #Cinaber (we four were having a laugh about upgrading hubs after the recent MC Motorsport State Sprint round).

But seriously, this is looking to be a bit of a beast Simon. And one of perth rex's first (known) S13 bolt-on flair function-over-form jobs.
A lick of paint when its all done and then you're gonna be a presence!

Looking awesome simon! Don't forget to do a write up on the install of the flares when you do it so I've got something to follow when i do mine.

Hubs are not on the cards at the moment. I know a couple of track cars over east running wide tyres with the 100 hubs & not had an issue Alex.

I will get the wheels and tyres & see how I go for now I think, I would be lucky to do 1 event per month at the moment, which would have an huge impact on how quickly they wear.

Cheers for the comments though on the car, it has come a long way in the last 8 months since I have owned it. There is lots more to come though, hopefully some driver training too, so I can learn how to drive properly, so I am not just a presence :)

Will do Anthony, well maybe not a complete write up, but there will be photos and a brief description. If you need pointers when you do come to do them, just PM or call me.

Hope all is well with you mate :)

I have told you a few times now

you measure curtains in CM, its 70mm ! :la:

MM is a great measurement for accuracy. Try it on your penis next time. The massive one you have on your head. You will see CM is a good measurement.......
