Ouch Craig!!
Hope the next build treats you well!



it's not going too well so far baz, my motor is popping on 1 cylinder and the other 3 want to try and spin the motor backwards

Did you get the pistons the right way round? (the gudeon pin is offset to one side)

 

on the blown motor the bottom end was assembled for me,
on the new motor, i haven't had it apart (was in a front cut) and we have seen it running in a front cut

That is messy Craig. Good luck on the new build.

this a couple of pics of my new j-spec rs front bar. I'm still waiting for my fog light garnishes from Mitsubishi. They say they are going to be here this week. I've also got some rain guards turning up this week.



Hopefully in a couple more weeks I'll have my 18" back on after painting

Were you able to get the fog light tabs from MITSU!?!?

I need some too!
Do you have a part number at all?

Car is looking great btw!

 

[ozyvr4]

Thanks mate.

They have not given me a pat no. or price yet but I will pass the no. to you when they arrive. They told me that the part have never been ordered to Australia . How bad are your pieces??

Your car must be getting close to the track. It looks unreal by the way.

You are fountain of knowledge Tim. Thanks mate. I did not need it as the guy found the part I needed after I gave them a j-spec vin to enter into their system.

 

[bazeng]

Thanks for that Tim!
I'll be ordering 2 sets ASAP.

I have a few but they tend to break!

 

[brisvr4]

Let us know how much Trav charges for them Barry /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[VR42LT]

New lifters anyone. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The fog light covers are about 100 dollars a set Tim (AUD) EX JAPAN

 

one of my fuel pumps died on friday, and the car is still popping and farting on 1 cylinder, time to trace back all the wires from the ecu and make sure they are going to the right spot.

Fitted my reground cams - still a bunch to do before I can drive it, but here's a we clip of it idling.

Dang, I don't know how I missed it but you've chromed pretty much everything! It should look sweet with the maroon colour!

Finally got all the wheels on. Also took a picture with an Eterna grill I got for someone. I'll have to get 1 for my self now.

This is with the standard grill back on

 

That's one sexy summit white. The eterna definitely looks better IMO
