July 13, 200917 yr comment_358577 Mate! I been wondering what happened to your beast. Will be great to see some more progress! Report
July 13, 200917 yr Author comment_358592 yeah i kno. just kinda got over it for a bit. then the photoshoot came along and made me wanna get it done again. pulled the engine down this arvo and it was pretty clean.. oil sludge wise. but is fully carboned up tho. interesting thing was that the spark plugs i pulled out were iridiums...! pretty stoked but will probs get new ones as these are black as black. does anyone have ideas on how to get the main crank bolt undone WITHOUT a impact wrench?

July 13, 200917 yr comment_358724 i'd use the word "butchered" about what is done to this car, but its been done so well and comprehensively that i'm impressed Report
July 13, 200917 yr comment_358727 does anyone have ideas on how to get the main crank bolt undone WITHOUT a impact wrench? One way which I found quite good was, bolt a chain to the side of the block, and to the bit where the flywheel bolts to, then your crank aint gonna move when it has force applied to it. Tim Report

July 16, 200917 yr Author comment_359296 well since i got the rotors i could put my struts together. well one of em. lost a clip for a brake pad so only one is finished. these were done once before but i wasn't happy just VHT paint on the struts etc. now powder coated the caliper has been done in a high temp enamel off the gun so much better. also the springs are custom made from ryan.
