siilversurfer Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Mcleod: Yeah its taken me around 3 weeks to get to this point and my aim is to get it road going in 2 months I took the engine out and then ordered all the parts at once and got them pretty fast so that always helps, without doubt im at the worst stage now as i keep realising that i am missing bits and bobs so it guna go a bit slow for a couple of weeks now Just checked your build out and looks sweet Russleh: Haha sure have those badboys are about 13Tonnes which is light compared to the big 70-80ton chally 2's I will get some pics of my car next to them when its finished it will look like a proper tonka toy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

00joeindastarb0 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Great build, what happened to the lower crossmember at the front you going to patch it up yeah? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siilversurfer Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks sparky Gary the stuff on the cam lobes is for when i start it up for the first time, Its a paste that will help run the new cams in. 200sx-Starlet-Jay thanks, atm my aim is for 300bhp, not sure what people have been getting with sachas hybrid. But i will be more than happy with that as it was good for track days with 260bhp before and i want it to last. 00joeindastarb0: haha long story, i cut it up to mod it so i could fit my TD05HR turbo as it was massive then i recived my H.R.F TD05 18G starlet from japan and i gave up on it for a year untill now and after seeing the massive amounts of lag i had on that i decided to go back to the good old TD04, Yeah it will be welded up after my MOT but i dont have a welder at home Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siilversurfer Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 I've been having a few problems one of which was getting the rad to fit as there was no way it would fit in the standard position. As you can see I've had to make some brackets up. Its going to be very slow progress from now on though as i have a lot of brackets to make up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
