Well I picked this up few months ago always wanted one so had to buy it


So first thing first gave the engine a good clean before assembly


Got it compression tested put it wasn't turning over fast enough to get a proper reading so we suspected bad starter motor. So I took it out got it tested but all was good but the starter was already apart so it got all new bearings.Turned out it was just a bad earth


So I started putting it all back together




Was going slow being in work nearly 7 days a week and waiting on new gaskets from Japan

Fitted the ecu


The single exhaust that was on the car I took off and picked up this re amemiya twin exhaust I cleaned it up a bit with some paint


Picked up a cusco dash dodger cage and fitted it




Getting closer to get up and running


The alternator look shity so took it apart to clean it up

Before


After


I also picked this hks t51s turbo external waste gate and mani sure why not haha that's further down the road but



After a clean


So went to bleed the clutch but the slave cylinder was banjoed so order a new master cylinder and slave cylinder



Fitted the twin exhaust not sitting the way I want at the minute


Got a nice rear diffuser of Dave Egan still have to fit it


Picked these up off donedeal they were in a bad way so I nitromorsed all the lacquer off and started sanding


Started with 240 wet and dry and went up the grades to 1200 this is how they look now


I ordered the centre caps off Japanese performance they don't fit after 8 weeks wait for them I was on to Dave and he has ordered a new set

All back together now


The moment of truth some fresh juice and time to start her up

Pretty sure I have some video footage from years and years ago from a journey up north for some drag racing. Rough video and probably not much of it, but I'll see if I can dig any of it up for ya
