Replace the bushes on yours thats what I done. I also painted them with black hammerite. But I believe they are the same yes.

Just a quick fyi anyone who ordered tickets for last year's event they have just been sent out via email. Theses tickets allow you gain entry to this year's event. 

 Thanks nick.

Done for you bud 

Engine has been stripped down it's not good news. Something happened to the crank which inturn has worn a groove into the block flywheel end and also chipped bits of the crank off I'm gutted as the rest of the engine is mint can even still see the hone marks on the bores. So I'm now in need of a block and crank.  

Im in need of a 4efte block & crank or a 4efe and just a 4efte crank. Let me no what's about. 

Thanks nick. 

Been down to the car today as the weather has been blinding. Managed to get the wings to fit a bit better need some more work but it's a start. Test fitted the livesport reps with it. Love it can't wait for the engine to be sorted so I can get it back on the road.

Hopefully dropping the engine up to TD this week to have it stripped down and find out whats up with it. 

2021 DATE ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the Government’s announcement on the 22nd February regarding the easing of lockdown restrictions in the UK, it has now become clear that staging Japfest on the 2nd May will not be possible. However, we’re delighted to announce that we have secured an alternative date of Saturday 4th September 2021 at the iconic Silverstone circuit.

The safety of our customers and staff is of paramount importance, and that may mean some detailed changes to the events this year, which we will announce when we are able to.

However, rest assured, we will be working hard to bring you the very best high-speed track action and spectacular displays that Japfest is famous for. We’re confident that it will still be the UK’s biggest and best celebration of Japanese cars.

Always liked these especially the tourer still look good today how reliable has it been

Never had an issue apart from the cam belt that Ive just done. 

Managed to get round to fitting the cam belt and water pump the other day. pully bolt would not budge so bought a new tool. Found the rest of the cam belt one I got the covers off. Got that sorted and made a start on the lower control arms my god what a git of a job. Done one but using a press for the other.

I do oil and filter after every track day or every 2k as a rule of thumb.

they genuine ones still ya skirts ?

 

No mate Fiske ones the new ones couldn't justify £500 + on skirts.

Don't think alot ours would be on the systems due to being imports 

Bits turned up today full timing bet kit water pump and strong flex lower control arm bushes. Was going to do it today but it's raining. Will crack on tomorrow and get it done. 

So....... thought I'd check the cambelt as I've been lazy and not looked at it in the 3 years I've had the car.

Oops cambelt kit and water pump on order along with new PAS AC and ALT belts and coolant or order looks like I'm with out my daily untill the bits arrive lucky it's and easy belt to do easier than the 4e winner.

My new side skirts turned up the other week. Just a test fit at the moment. Look loads better. 

Got my seat rail for my bucket seat from.
