Yet another update. Only realising now how little pictures I took but ye'll get the general jist.

With drive4charity comming up I wanted ta do something a bit different with the car. Also was having some heating problems so needed ta get the head done. So combineing the two ideas together I decided to get the engine bay sprayed. So after a couple of evenings stripping, sealing and degreasing the engine was out and ready for paint. So off it went and while that was a away we got cracking on the Cosworth head gasket, arp head bolts and studs and the head went off for a skim. Then all cleaned and back together.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/i...t/DSCN0383.jpg
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/i...t/DSCN0387.jpg

So, the car came back from spraying...and i was over the moon. Nothing at all what I expected. pics do this no justice what so ever! And it looks unbeleiveable at night.

So time ta start piecing it all back together. In the mean time had got braided lines, a set of BLOX wheels nuts, a heat wrapped Skunk2 mani, some bits done in carbon effect and an r33 power cable to tidy up the cableing to the battery in the boot.

Right so after almost 2 years of talking about it adn after convinceing herself ta pay for half of it for my birthday I finally booked a date for mapping. Wanted ta do it right when I was getting it done so decided to go for bigger blower adn generally a better setup. So found a perfect HKS 2540 with HKS mani, elbow and actuator and braided lines on driftireland (thanks to Newsome sound lad ta deal with) and off I went ta Wicklow ta pick it up.KIlled a day off sure.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/i...t/DSCN0533.jpg

I was pretty happy doing just that but of course Pepstrex (Petko) being the salesman he is convinced me to buy a set of tomei highlifts. I couldnt really refuse seeing as they were comming at really good money. He also got me a Sard FPR.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/i...t/DSCN0563.jpg
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/i...t/DSCN0564.jpg

Also was afradi that my clutch wouldnt be able for the upgrade in power so when I spotted this HKS twinplate clutch with flywheel and release bearing I couldnt resist ( thanks again to Andy [Juice] another sound lad ta deal with and cheers for the heat wrap :D ), also got a bride gear boot and a Greddy turbo timer off hm too. And sure when I was in Galway woould be rude not ta buy something off nikkisxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, so got his Greddy tusuction pipe from the turbo to the afm, unfortunately it doesnt fit but these things happen, thak god Petko gave me the loan of his to get me through the mapping. SO if anyone has one please let me know haha

Nothing says JDM tyte yo! like an O'Neills hurley grip on your hadnbrake
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/i...t/DSCN0538.jpg

So after leaving the car up ta Pepstrex he got stuck in, after a few hicups of course with only myself to blame but of course he was able sort it out. Another top job! Off I went early on a Sunday morning down ta Stiv. Bita road mapping they said.....be grand they said, and it was grand, didnt have ta drive like the lunatic I was expecting ta have ta be. Cannot speak highly enough of Stiv. While I was down there we stuck in a Z32 fuel filter and a new set of spark plugs. He checked everything. Got the car mapped up and running sweet at 1.3bar now. Next now is try get it dyno'd so just ta have a figure on it. Hate guesstimating.

Had also got myself a Cusco oil catch can and an alloy coolant tank
