13BT_KE20

car needs coolant and then its ready to go :hmm: backets for the sparco are all done, seat fits in very nicely. Def holds you in snug, especially with the harness.

ill try make it to atleast one event over the weekend, car will be running but its prob a bit hot to drive it (for me not the car haha)

is that your car i spotted in the latest zoom????

Cheers Karl, cars come a LONG way since SCS. Def not what people expect to see in the engine bay. Not really interested in car shows, might enter the dyno comp tho. Today i refitted the water pump, alt and set-up my water spray set-up. Need to fit some heat proofing around my turbo oil drain then i can bolt the radiator and hoses back in. Oil feed had been dropped off to Leroy at BTR for him to make me a new braided line, once thats back it will be running again Also measured and marked out the front strip all ready to cut so it fits in with the intercooler. Started working on the sparco seat mounts too, can see there going to be a pain haha

Radiator is all cleaned and ready to go back in. Made up a proper shroud for the back of the radiator, fair bit of mucking around (measure twice, cut once lol) but its done now and nice an neat so I'm happy. Got all the gaskets, water spray set-up parts i need to get the car back together and I'm working a few half days this week so looking gd to have it back on the road for the weekend. YAY!

nice front end set-up, those wheels will fit perfectly. Just need a smaller front tyre, maybe a slight guard stretch

sorry to hear the dramas, hope you still have the motivation to finish it. That first drive makes it all worth while :)

congrats, its always gd to finally get a project running. Its a big step would love to see some current pics

Looking gd boys!

spent the arvo working on the car today removed front grill removed radiator removed thermo fan removed water pump Dis-assembled water pump and cleaned I had a leak from the water pump so ill get some new gaskets and wack it back on. Radiator is getting sent off to get flowed tested, will either get it unblocked or recored accordingly Will be making a proper shroud for the thermo fan will the rad is out too. Water spray set-up will be done as well while the radiator is out Removed my drivers seats and working out mounts for the sparco fixed back seat i had in the shed so hopefully hav that mounted too before the car is running again. I plan to hav this done by next weekend haha EDIT: also getting a new braided line sorted for my oil feed to the turbo

my vote goes to the RX8 (obviously)

PM sent

Even bettter!!! thought you got sick of playing with rotas? not that I'm complaining about the 13BT lol

i assume its the 1J you were talking about building last time i spoke to you (which was AGES ago)

truly amazing!

car looks great, good to see you persist after some badluck. Plans sound good Can i have some more info on your front brake set-up please, PM me if you like Cheers

nice work!

looks nuts mate might hav a few small jobs for you to do on my car if you ever finish this one

the rear is is pretty light and keeps the rear looking neat, so i would leave it in. I have in my car and it doesnt get in the way of the half cage either. Check my members rides thread, i plan on uploading some pics shortly. As for moving the seat back it would require some custom (STRONG) brackets

YES!!!!!

unfortunately i miss another one, ill be in QLD enjoying my holiday :)

looks great, well done!
