WOW, great job mate, the whole machine is spectacular, engine and bay are soooo nice, the exhaust manifold made me drool on my keyboard.
Well balanced look with a dose of mumbo to back it up!
Can't wait for the figures and some quarter times, mwahahaha.

Thanks heaps champ its amazing how many weeks I've put into it. Def think this will be my last build just way too time consuming

[86psi]

Small update car no longer leaks water new oring and she all good now to fix the oil leak on the turbo oil drain and give it a clean up as she booked into the tuners next Wednesday to get the idle cleaned up and the tune cleaned up so I can run her in then straight back in for a pump fuel tune wish me luck

[86psi]

Bit of an update prob last one for awhile as I'm heading away for work next week. Anyway the car never made it to the tuners due to my pup needing surgery and the bills were crazy so had to put my funds towards that.
Now for the good news my brakes finally showed up today and I managed to get one side fitted up this arvo will do the other side over the next few days so here's some pics

Standard evo 3 next to the wilwood 309mm disk


They fill the 18s just nicely

[evo-gsr]

Where did you get them and how much?

[86psi]

From freaky parts in the uk bout $1600 delivered just had to wait a month though but well worth it considering how much a decent set of brembos cost plus all the parts on top to do the 5 stud conversion

[evo-gsr]

I thought it was their kit.

[86psi]

Yeh just took her for a drive feels really good nice and smooth

[DOUGMO]

dont they sell that kit for $500 pounds?

[86psi]

Nah that's the dynalite kit this is the superlite with 2 piece discs its 869 pounds

[DOUGMO]

sweet, how thick are the rotors?

[86psi]

32mm vented rotors

[86psi]

Here's a side on pic

[DOUGMO]

nice curved vein rotor also, thats a much nicer kit than the other one they do.

[86psi]

Yeh only downfall is I had to run a 5mm spacer to clear the calipers it was only just touching so piece of mind and the tyres still remane in the guards but on the positive side to that I'm fairly sure I could easily fit 225 semis all round so might try it in the near future

_{Wow just read this whole build thread. Well done mate great looking car and very nice mods to go along with with}

[86psi]

Been ages since an update did some long stints at work but have about two weeks off now.
Anyway cleaned up the idle and it runs great hot or cold so I'm pretty happy how drivable the car is with no idle control and idles around the 1100rpm mark which is great.

I also have a ppg dogbox ready to go in just waiting on the clutch plates with gear drive spline to suit the bigger input shaft anyway things are slowly progressing and eventually I will get it tuned just taking my time and trying to do it right

[86psi]

Big weekend on the car new clutch plates in and dog box in just went for a quick drive then wow def a loud box but been able to flat shift is unbelievable.
Will give her a good clean up tomorrow and go for a good drive.

[DOUGMO]

nice work! who did your clutch plate change for you?

[clone]
