Send me some pics. We might be able to do a swap, cos i'm planning on getting mine painted anyway.

Thanks for the comments. I was amazed at how much the radiator effects the look of the engine bay. I'll have to bring the rest of it up to spec now! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I've ordered a heap more toys that should be arriving over the next few weeks so hopefully the motor should start to perform tougher aswell as looking tougher!

Dan: I love the ARC stuff. I was hoping they may have made a cooling panel like the cusco one or the spark plug cover but they only make them for IV's onwards. I'm also trying to find out if there are any other panel filter elements that fit that are available locally. I've ordered an ARC one from Perfect run but i'm not sure how long it will be before that gets here?

i want that arc box

Yeah Ive got a cusco radiator shroud, an ARC would be heaps better..... TRIKFAB has promised me he can make me a alloy catch can that will look like an ARC jobbie. I havent tried looking for new elements, i wonder if a stock panel would fit?

TRIKFAB is also going to redo my intake pipe, and remount the box with some cyustom brackets so that it will sit directly behind the headlight.

So now i can stop driving my car to work and start playing around with her!!!

[CLuTZ]

Jeesus!


What a haul!!


:shock:

[GSRSOL]

mega haul.....


i havent done in that in a long time

[GSR-747]

you rob a bank? or been saving for quite a while!

[SIVART]

awsome parts :shock:

love the arc filter 8)

[vsthis]

It was a massive haul!

I had 4 different deliveries that all arrived within half an hour. At one stage there were two delivery guys there at the same time unloading stuff and I was just standing there with a massive grin on my face!!! My missus was there shaking her head and telling me that she didn't want to know how much all this stuff cost.

Would have looked funny as for the delivery guys.



So the plan is now:

Put my previous suspension setup back on to stop people asking me what model pajero I have.

Install all the stuff i can do myself such as the strut brace, cooler piping, air filter, shift light, oil cap, spark plug cover etc

Rear mount my battery.

Replace front and rear discs with slotted items, paint calipers, and replace front and rear pads.

Get someone to give me a hand to socket the ecu and install the chip.

Get intake pipe made up with matching polished alloy and maybe move the airbox to behind the headlight.

Get oil catch can, radiator overflow and twin chamber window washer/cooler spray tanks made up in polished alloy.

Rig up cooler spray.

Get rocker cover painted and install new lifters.

Take car to techsport for installation and tune of FPR, Fuel pump, S-AFC and AVC-R.

And then, it's time to start working on the body!!!

When are you getting your intake done Dan?

[GSRSOL]

probably in a month or so?

[GSR-747]

Just a few questions, what pads are you using, where did you get them, how much did you pay? Also same about rotors, rears mainly as I already got rda slotted for the front and where did you get the ralliart oil cap, Meek?

I haven't perchased any pads or rotors yet as i'm toying with the idea of going the gto 4 pots on the front. I know DBA sell the slotted rotors for the gsr rears and i was going to check to see if RDA make any. I'm pretty sure they do.

The oil cap is another e-bay special: http://cgi.ebay.com....:B:EOIBSA:AU:11

It should look the goods with the rocker cover and the spark plug cover i have ordered.



As for an update, well i haven't installed anything because i've had to work pretty much every night to pay for all this stuff and any days off i have had, I have been shooting up to Buller to make up for last years dismal snowboarding season. But I have managed to purchase a few things and get a few things organised.

I bought this:



And i have dropped it off to get cleaned up and powder coated. I'll pick it up in a week or so and i'll post some more pics then.

I also decided that it was about time i invested in some coilovers so i layed down some cash on a set which should hopefully arrive in the next couple of weeks depending of availability in japan.

I also decided that since i needed a new front bar, i might aswell go genuine front end so i've been hunting down an evo III front bar (very unsuccessfully so far), i'm looking at a couple of sets of front guards and i purchased a genuine bonnet from adelaide. I've also put a deposit on a genuine rear bar with pods and a genuine bootlid with spoiler so hopefully i'll be fully genuinly kitted in the next few months.

[vsthis]

More bits and pieces have arrived!

Spark plug cover:







HKS Fuel rail:



And an optima yellow top D34 Battery:



My housemate thinks that i'm involved in some dodgy smuggling setup cos there seems to be a package or two arriving for me nearly every day!

[matress]

hahaha! I feel the same way always going down to the post office to pick up a package that's arrived from overseas.

where'd you get all those bits from? looks good!
