I thought I was done... I thought wrong...

[Cranked]

Never!

A bit more progress as of this morning...

Fuel filter added to the setup. This means one before the pump and one after the pump.

Also old 100 series speedflow lines vs new 200 series speedflow lines...

Hard alloy tube also terminated and installed for the return side.

I've got plenty of 100 series speedflow bits for sale if anybody is interested..

Will continue tomorrow. I wonder if i can get it running by Sat...

Looks good.

One thing ive come to terms with is, there will always be something to improve on with my vr4 so i feel your pain.

Some gunk from the old setup.. 98 to E85 sludge?

All clean and ready to go back in with new seimens injectors.

Did it make it to the dyoo today baz?

[bazeng]

A kinked fuel line and my attempt to replace it caused me to miss the day with the VR4. The trusty stagea for me there though...

I thought I had a -8 line in the drawer but it was in fact a -10 line. Teflon lines are thinner than rubber so that caught me out when I initially thought I had what I needed to get the car running this morning....

At least the meet today motivated me to get the car to the current point (90% ready ).



Found another issue... Polyurethane bush has failed.. Will be going solid to prevent this from happening again...



My new parts shed is done at least!!
Now I can get the stuff out of the garden!

[ozyvr4]

Looking amazing mate.

[bazeng]

Thanks Scott...

Some work done tonight...

Identified that my moustache brace bush has perished.. Not sure why..
So I'm replacing it with a stock one that has been packed with big washers..




While I'm there.. Might as well change the diff oil and change the diff cover..



Hmmmm. 2 years old.. Looks rather thick!



New vs old...

Too be continued tomorrow...

[bazeng]

Bling!

[bazeng]

Solid mounted moustache brace. The easy way... Using big sold truck washers.. Thanks Jayz-1 for these!

Frontline fab rear diff cover installed.

1000hp dss axels

[phaser]

haha! love that last comment.. 1000hp axels, thats all. Looking good Baz!

[ozyvr4]

That's awesome.

[bazeng]

Not using heavy weight shock proof anymore.. going back to oem lsd diaqueen oil..



Finally found a place to store my spares...

Tomorrow I'll finish the battery relocation..

[bazeng]

New fuel system all done.

2000hp rated fuel pump should let me dial in the boost I need to wake the t51r spl up! Hopefully 10 litres of fuel supply doesn't get too annoying to manage on the Street / Dyno / track..



Starting the battery relocation. New battery location is under the passenger seat. I'll make a plate to mount the circuit breakers and kill switch also.. Reduction in some weight by doing this. The 35mm cables are quite heavy!

Then move onto the flat shift gear knob install.
