Plan is to drive it up the road Saturday but there is always so much more to do than you think. Well how did it go?? Did you get it all sorted in time? Guy |

Yes! I drove it up the road !!!!! Couple of little leaks and it need setting up but it is an animal. Anyone got any filter socks? I don't want to run it on open trumpets!
Full pics and report tomorrow!

Lovely stuff Rob!
Quick question - where did you get those oil cooler pipes made? Or did you buy them for the car?

Well its finished and run up! I just need the Log book to come back so I can Tax it and she is on the road! Early indications suggest it goes like F*ck. For now a sneaky preview, obviously a massive photo whoring session is on its way as soon as it hits the streets!   |

OMG..
that is just stunning.
I think i'll finish my 4K before Billing and then take the Corolla with me instead of the Celica, so we can take both cars out for a spin around the neighbourhood ;D

Looking great - the speed you get things done is embarrassing. My GTi-R needs some final priming then flatting out before getting trailered to spray shop. With it out of the way, my 1000 is going back in the garage to be finished off. But I don't think it'll happen as quickly as yours. Aaron. |
