Vturbo Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 Received this from tuning developments this morning Also cracked on with making myself a glow in the dark gear knob. Quote
Vturbo Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 So after I had a slight run in with a curb, needed a new wheel and wishbone, put on an anti lift kit while I was at it...nursed back to health again! The build will be on hold as I'm away with work in a few weeks time.. Quote
Vturbo Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 My mate got round to doing some more of the drawings, gona have to frame it I think Quote
Vturbo Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 Small update, my gearbox decided to die a death a week before I'm due to be away. Just going to sort it in October and replace with lsd box when it's all gotta too come out for the forged engine Quote
Vturbo Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 Also dropped off my forged bits to my engine builder ready for assembly Can't wait Quote
Jay2ohh Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 just ordered the same fitment as these wheels, how are they now with the arches rolled ? loadsa set backs but kept ploughing on, good man! Quote
Vturbo Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 just ordered the same fitment as these wheels, how are they now with the arches rolled ? loadsa set backs but kept ploughing on, good man!yeah I love a setback lol, had it nearly 6 years so have to expect a few. As for the wheels the fronts scrub slightly when cornering hard. But it don't bother me. The rears catch on the bumper bracket in the arch if I hit a big bump but other than that it's all good. Could raise another 5-10mm and it would be fine Quote
Socks Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Just had a read thru this. Fair play for battling health and conditions. In a street and repairing the poor thing!Hopefully the engine build goes smoothl my for you Mike and the car repays you for the hard work Keep it up! Quote
JDMfreak Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 what a great read and the working on the street part I feel for ya im in the same boat nothing worse working on a car and someone stranger staring at ya walking down the road lol Quote

Vturbo Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 So the block has finally made it to the engine stand and I also managed to find an oem LSD box. All I need to find now is a rear gearbox mount Quote
Charlie28 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Looking good buddy! You got the shafts too right? As they are different lengths obv due to the LSD mounting on the side of the oem gearbox! Quote
Vturbo Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 Looking good buddy! You got the shafts too right? As they are different lengths obv due to the LSD mounting on the side of the oem gearbox!Yeah I have the shorter shaft. Pretty sure it's only one that's shorter Quote
