Well it’s been a pretty crazy few months between moving out of my workshop and bring the car home and booking a mot and having a week to get it ready, after 12 years the car is finally back on the road it’s not perfect still a few bits to finish. Have got about 100 miles on the car and it feels great a few little teething issues to sort and will be able to finish the run in miles.

Yea sorry have been making slow progress on the car the last couple of months will bombard a few more pictures here now got the front bumper fitted all new window rubbers fitted, made my own carpet and built up a lot of the interior waited 3 months for my cusco cage padding coming from japan, so mostly interior work waiting on a new front windscreen arriving then all the glass can get put in and pull the rear axle fit the powerflex bushes and get it powder coated, tighten all the suspension components then maybe attempt a MOT

Thanks burty, Hey Sam thanks for taking the time to read it all, yes I was running a 100ps intake manifold from a 1st gen 4efe (same as a 4efte manifold but without the sensors) and a ported 4efte throttle body was a pain to get the TB to work on the stock ecu badly over fuelling, but that’s how I made the most power, but yes on this current engine I’m running the stock intake for run in purposes so the ecu can read everything properly, then I will be going onto 45mm ITB’s from a 4age blacktop and aftermarket ecu, I have a hks vpro gold sitting it’s old tech but it’s a good ecu for all

So it’s been 3 years since my last comment so here’s a bit of a picture update on the old girl, still a long way to go but it’s progress at last after 11 years off the road.

No progress as of late, but all of my old photos are back which is great to see again

Looking good man l,I’m heading to Tokyo this year for a month in September,would be cool to see some Ep’s in their natural habitat and any recommendations for place to see nice cars or any tips on things to do?
