August 13, 201115 yr Author comment_546281 went in to see the car yesturday, coming along great, well i think so.. They had to relocate the wastegate due to it being in the way of the waterpump. All the oil lines are done, and majority of the parts are on there way... today i painted up a matt black bonnet at work, suprisingly came up better then what i expected...Still a bit wet in this picture tho Report

August 16, 201115 yr Author comment_547007 lol the reverse scoop is later down the track, after the cars running some good numbers.. mrke30, yeah i can't wait to see how it looks out on the track, and at supernats i think if it all works proprely, will suprise alot of people because it looks a little beat up tho.. i pick up the radiator from just alloy radiators on thursday and then go to che on friday to see how its going Report
August 20, 201115 yr Author comment_547835 went to see the car again yesturday.. Not much progress, polished speedflow fuel rail has been purchased and i dropped off the new radiator... Report
August 31, 201115 yr Author comment_550316 well heres an update on the car, fuel rail is in, the 1000cc injectors i had purchased didnt fit in this rail, so the solution we had was to go bigger, they had some indy blues 1600cc injectors lying around so they went in.. fuel tank is also done 45litres all up not much to go now, just gotta connect the fuel system up at the rear and at the front, wire the haltech up, finish the intercooler pipe and should be good to start next week so ive been told.. fingers crossed Report
August 31, 201115 yr Author comment_550389 lol nup, pump 98oct, dale at che reckons it will be good...when the new motor goes in it will run great Report
September 3, 201115 yr Author comment_551150 so i spoke to the guys at che on friday and they said they guy is coming out to wire the haltech to the add ons of the car, then hopefully the car should be started early in the week, hopefully dynoed at the end of the week Report

September 5, 201115 yr Author comment_551384 yeah mate, I'm pumped to hear it start, nervous about it aswell..hoping things go ok.. will be going there on wednesday to see progress Report
September 8, 201115 yr Author comment_552178 so went to che again to see some progress, fuel system setup has changed again, now gone back to the surge tank idea but moved the surge tank under the car.. Its a real nice setup and chris, the gun welder at che has done a great job. and here is a picture of underneath the car from the diff forward... the only thing thats not connected is the shifter cable its neeeeeeeeearrrrrrrrlllllyyyy there Report
September 8, 201115 yr comment_552287 Holy crap....That boy Chris got some good skills hey It's sooo neat and tidy under there Every time I check this thread I am very happy (and proud of my ol 26's new owner) to see the progress that has been made Top work with the updates Jon, they are all encouragement to those of us who can't seem to get motivated Report
September 9, 201115 yr Author comment_552510 Yeah he is awsome... Yeah its coming out the way i wanted it, its had its ups and downs, times when i was pumped to see it finished, other days where i wish i never had it....People tell me I'm wasting my time with it, but the way i see it, its one of my dream cars so I'm really motivated now to finish it and prove the haters wrong Report
