Chris Green Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 The thread recently has been lacking updates, but progress has been steady behind the scenes. Over the last lot of weeks, an absolute hoard of parts have been arriving; I can quite safely say, I have now pissed off the post man Ah, where to begin... I wasn't totally happy with how the paint turned out, so I rubbed it right back again and started fresh, so end results below. Colour - still drying Clear coat on Still a bit of work to do in regards to bringing out the best of the shine. The engine has been relocated to a bigger, better garage, which is home to rather rare bikes... Where it has been stripped entirely... The block and sump have now been prepped for bead blasting, before being powder coated. Mean while parts have been arriving thick and fast; I'll just post some shiney ones for the mean time... And today, I picked up some ITB's & a CUSCO 1.5way LSD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Green Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 That VFR looks mint! Loving the new parts mate! It's some bike, isn't it? There is something like 600 miles on it, goes to MOT and back every year. Stunning update there Chris! Keep it up! Cheers bud, getting there now! Awesome , raising compression ratio aswell? Cheers. Indeed USDM Paseo 0.5mm head gasket going in. Epic work Chris! Hope to be at a starlet meet this year if your going. Hope to be in a sr again tho Thanks Jamie. What ever happened to the 'bandit' (As dubbed my Jay and myself)? HOLY CRAP Throttle bodies are off tomorrow to have some witchcraft done on them to make them look all shiney, will be expecting them back by Friday. I have a very special order from CROWER Camshafts arriving within the next week. 285 degree lift by 8.6mm I think is the spec, ideal for high revving applications.

Sudden Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Im using the same head gasket but im running 4efe pistons aswell xD (thumbsup).

Stay committed dude, its depressing how few people finish/push their n/a setup to completion. It's a shame how many N/A projects are abandoned. ITB's arrived back from vapor blasting today. Backets came back like this, wasn't overly happy, but polished them up. Another box of OEM goodness arrived too. 0.5mm Head gasket Wheel bearings Oil Pump Brakets, clips, nuts etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
