Car is running well and has good power. Here is a vid of how she sounded on first start up. It's a bit quieter now i've driven it.

Here is a link to some photos of my car for this job and the respray i gave it. I know the engine bay wiring is a mess, just please don't look at it. I know you guys will want to flame me. I will fix it maybe, prolly not, when i get a new car which should be in the next few months. Got my eye on an evo 3 and am seriously regretting not having the money nearly a year ago when that beautiful yellow plate was for sale.

Waddya talking about. You done a pretty damn good job on that car. I recall being pretty impressed with a mates cordia turbo back in the day, i bet yours has more sting than that one.

Thanks man. Yeah it can be a bit of handful at times.

Here is what it sounds like after around 200k's of driving.

Getting 21psi up to redline and no leaks. Will recheck torque on the studs soon. But judging by how it's driving and the sound at idle, not sure if i will worry about putting new lifters in.

Good job on freshening up the whole car man, I'm going through the same thing except Your paint job will have a better finish than mine, it's so cold and damp here I'm struggling to get a wet coat down without it trying to sag or run! just need to get the patio heater out there really, back yarding at its finest! lol
Nice work though man
