13bke26 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13bke26 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 went to see the car again yesturday.. Not much progress, polished speedflow fuel rail has been purchased and i dropped off the new radiator... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13bke26 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13bke26 Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHATKE20S Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13bke26 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
