cheers man, repair money is spent now and converter is in the post atm so back on track.

time has been an issue the last 2 weeks, I'm probably halfway through the metalwork now, but behind where i wanted to be.

off to fraser island next week, then a week at home on this i hope, then to yamba for a week. the goal of feb powerplay will feel pretty close by then so i hope that week at home goes well!

Its really easy to see the summer holidays as the magical acres of free time to where you can get your car done, but somehow between that dick in the red and white pyjamas, wives, typical car setbacks and travelling its a lot harder than you picture it in your mind.

 

I know my car was going to be ready 2 summers ago, and it got to run first last winter. :clover:

Not yet sorry mate, i have been working on it a heap, but have bitten off a lot of work this time. Was really keen to do powerplay this weekend but yeh missed the goal by a lot. Hopefully another month will see it done. Cheers

 

Haha no need to be sorry. I totally understand, between the old mans 1600, my rgv and countless mates engines it's been 3+yrs since my 11 has seen any boost!

My new c4 adaptor plate is thicker than the old one, i was going to mill 5mm off it. Then i discovered the spigot on the stall was only just long enough and machined too small as well. so i decided i may as well space the stall 5mm instead. still need to get the spigot machined as my lathe is too small to grip it properly.

Making the new mounts for the diff, i finished these today.

 

20160421_163951_zpsip5viu08.jpg

 

I really wanted to upgrade the front bolt for the leaf spring, since it has the caltracs raging at it as well. problem was there was not much room left for the nolathane bush. I made a brass bush and machined a new crush tube to fit snug inside of it, will grease it up and see how that goes. I'm still going to run rubber either side of the spring to keep a lil bit of tension on the caltracs so they don't rattle. Making new caltracs triangles as well to run a bigger bolt than before.

pulled my wastegate off the car, and pulled the lid to check out the diaphram, still having issues with boost level being too low, so just thought i would check it. all good, going back on again.

made the new caltrac triangles, old ones were less strong and smaller bolts.

old caltrac arms were made out of commodore panhard rods.

 

20160424_144637_zps1dkv4efg.jpg

 

new ones will be made out of these ladder bars I bought at a swapmeet for $80

 

20160424_144558_zps0o7pfxxi.jpg

 

I removed the car from the frame it was sitting on. and made a new bar that sits under the leafs so i can set pinion angle and centre the diff properly.

 

20160425_170452_zps1fsw5tgs.jpg

 

I put a set of wheels on to help measure off.

So i got the pinion angle set, diff is mm perfect dead centre so scrubbage should be same both sides, is tacked in place and sitting ready to finish weld.

 

Last night I pulled down the rear callipers, I sold my last diff so these are an unknown. Everyone says these are a real pita to pull apart because of internal handbrake, so i knocked up this little tool, just welded a notch off the side of the socket, that made things real easy to undo.

fuel tank build. I'm no longer running a surge tank, instead i have decided to build a surge type setup into the new fuel tank. The fuel tank will now protrude into the boot a fair bit to get the litres i want, a 90mm dropper thats 200 x 200 will hang under the tank as a surge device. plenty of baffles inside, was going to run foam but after some research it seems like it may break down over time.
