Been 8 years since the last update and man has the whole car scene changed with social media decimating the forums and leaving them a baron wasteland. I don't know if anyone is still kicking around here but I was feeling nostalgic and decided another update is in order. Anyway, I've still got...

Ok so the core started to leak again. Turns out that an ae82 core can also be used as they're almost identical. The only difference is that one of the outlets faces towards the drivers side a bit and the core is a bit shorter. I just used some foam to space it out and yeah all good now. Only...

welcome back mate, good to see some familiar faces again

It's all pretty simple stuff to fix, just give the car some tlc and basic maintenance. If you take the seat rails off I'm sure you can bend them back into the right shape with a vice and some pliers. Speedo cable isn't hard to fix either, just buy a new one and replace, they run from the cluster...

Already ripped the core out in an effort to get it welded up, the crack was pretty bad and they're made of brass rather than copper so we didn't have the right materials to get it sorted. So after all that we did what I suggest initially, cut it down and just push the hose on more. seems to work...

Going to put 2 tanks of fuel through it which will be about 800-1000k's, just regular driving but try to keep it under 4k. Then I'll be able to flog it as hard is it'll take it. I've hit a slight set back, I cracked one of the heater core pipes when putting the motor in and got a coolant leak...

FINISHED!!!! New engine is in. It's an ae92 block with ae101 internals and a slightly decked head for a bit higher comp. I've put a techno toy tuning crank pulley on it to bring the boost up to 14psi. Made a blocking plate for the ABV and gaskets to suit, would like to remove it and have the sc...

Pulled some copperfield shit and SHAZAAM, no more motang Oh wait there it is Bloody panda's broken heart Was able to find a donor on short notice from radelaide Off to get a clutch re-splined today and then I get the fun of putting all the stuff I ripped out back where it belongs. Now...

So turns out the bolt that holds the harmonic balancer on snapped off in the crank which = borked motor. On the other hand I have something pretty awesome on it's way from adelaide so watch this space, next two weeks are going to be big ones

well well well look what arrived today. Already had the clutch and bearing but the rest of the goodies got delivered just a few hours ago, not pictured is the ajps dash mat. Still waiting on the castor rod arms and t3 pulley. With a little luck I'll have all of these parts installed over the...

I think it's time for another GOR cruise.

Got bored today so decided to use up some spare paint I had. Probably needs another coat but it turned out ok anyway

Pics on the way as soon as my next shipment of awesome parts arrives. Currently in transit: AJPS Metal hub center locating rings AJPS Dashmat AJPS Adjustable Panhard Rod AJPS Trailing arm bush kit AJPS Traction brackets Techno Toy Tuning 14psi boost pulley Techno Toy Tuning Tension rods Off to...

THIS JUST IN Local man plows through multiple properties while delivering "tofu". Local police are baffled!

Ok good news, cars back on the road now after a LOT of stuffing around. Big thanks to Sam Q for lending me a gze harmonic balancer untill the one I ordered arrived (long story that I'll get to in a tick). So far though I've had no drama's with the oil pump, pressure holds well and everything...

Dec 3rd huh, well considering my bday's on the 4th I know what I'm getting for my bday now :D

It is a toga pump, haven't read anything bad about them and I won't be reving passed 7.5k anyway so I'm sure it'll be up to the job

Harmonic balancer decided it didn't want to spin in circles any more and destroyed itself. The hole that the crank goes through looks oval shaped now lol. So I decided this was the perfect chance to get a bigger pulley for it. Ordered in the t3 oversized crank pulley only to find I couldn't...

I'm still alive and kicking though I can't say as much for the car. I pretty much lost all interest after it got pummeled by that huge hail storm we had. Also started up my own company called "Garage86.net" which has been eating all of my money up untill recently. Now onto the good news...

Well I could just go the sr20 option like everyone else seems to do but I hate the hesitation a turbo setup gives, dunno how to explain it but it's like the accelerator pedal is "mushy". I just want really good response + usable power. I mean a 300rwkw ae86 is cool and all, but good luck getting...
