Also got my 5 point harness
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_3951.jpg
And i decided it was time to fit the exhaust, downpipe from Gem, decat from Jay (cheers for that lads)
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_3953.jpg
Fitted the exhaust and then sorted out the oil return from the turbo to the engine and blead the clutch. Then with a jump start from Vicky (my vectra lol) she fired up.
I still dont have the brakes connected up but i took the car for a drive around the yard and used the handbrake to stop it. Im fuckin delighted that the car starts, runs and drives.
Now the real fun begins :D:D:D
Fair play to ya! its all coming together! when do you aim to have it on track?
i have it in my head i want to hav it on a track in november.Quote:

http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_3973.jpg
Also swapped the driftworks spacers for a fuel cell for the back. Goin to look at sinking it into the boot floor or keeping it in the spare wheel in the rear.
Aiming to have the car out on track for the first week in november so any help and advise with the build will be greatly appriceated :)
Car runs and was doing burnouts outside my gaf today :D
I need to weld up the diff tho to get her spinnin the wheels proper tho
Hopin to have her out in portlaoise soon enough:cool:
It has been a while since there has been an update but iv been doing a few small bits to the car.
Ill have the car in a garage over the weekend and ill be sorting as much of the can as i can. Im hoping that the car's gonna be fully sorted mechanically this weekend.
I did pick up a free Uras rear bumper over the weekend. The bumper needs a few small bit of work as theres a few cracks in it........and the fact that the bumper wouldnt fit in the vectra so i cut a part of the bumper so i could close the boot ha ha :D Cheers to alan opel for pickin it up for me, and makin the bumper fit in the boot;)

http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_4009.jpg

http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_4007.jpg
I also got this half cage for the 180sx, im gonna send this off to my mate and get him to add the front bars to make it a 6 point and to add a few bars to make it stiffer
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_3997.jpg
Let the madness begin :D
drill holes at the ends of each crack to stop it getting any longer b4 you cable tie it together.
This build has really come on , fair play :D

Tifa will make her debut at the final portlaoise drift day on the. 28th of this month. Hopefully there won't b many issues with her.
Well its been ages since this has been updated as due to the snow iv been unable to work on this at all.
Ordered gaskets for the exhaust, and a sticker pack (as everyone loves stickers lol)
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_4054.jpg
Cars looking less like a skip that it was cleaned out
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_4013.jpg
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...101_4057-1.jpg
Swapped the standard diff for a welded one
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_4078.jpg
Also as the battery is being located into the boot my mate made up a clamp for it
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_4082.jpg
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_4083.jpg
Drivers seat and the harness has been fitted
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_4084.jpg
I also picked up a set of Momo Fighters 8Jx17
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o.../Momo8Jx17.jpg
Finally iv decided to put off entering PD untill im happy with the car and iv plenty of seat time under my belt. Iv the use of a garage and lift tomorrow to sort the exhaust so I hope to have this in portlaoise on the 9th Janury if i can get the hydro fitted tomorrow (iv no fucking clue how to do this) and the waterpump fitted during the week.
Pm Bart or someone on how to fit the hydro ;)
Looking forward to seeing this out in Portlaoise , will come over for a look too :cool:
this is coming along Savage, Lovin The Kawasaki Green Bay, keep up the gud work dude!:)
I fitted the rear links for the anti roll bar and gaskets to the exhaust and it doesnt blow anymore where the exhaust sections meet up. There's a nice sound of the Blitz nur spec:D
However the car is idling from 1500rpm-2000rpm and keeps doing this:confused:. Its also quite smokey and i reckon that the MAF is fucked so ill see how this goes by swapping it for one that does work and see if she's any better. If it needs to be replaced ill be getting a z32 MAF.
Here's a video of it running a bit smokey, prob also worth mentioning that the lambda sensor isnt attached.

And a pic of how smokey the garage was after i switched off the car:o.
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...103_162214.jpg
I'll hopefully have the hydro fitted on saturday (cutting it tight as usual!!:eek:) and fitting a new water pump to the engine:mad:. Im also hoping to fit some gauges to the car and also sort out some of the wiring.
loving the green will look sweet wen al finished good luck with it man:)
I mounted up the hydro and all was going well untill it turned out that i didnt have the correct fitting for the brake line into the back of the master cylinder. I missed the drift day all because i cut the brake lines to fit it:(. Heres a few of pics showing where i mounted it

http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_4141.jpg
Slithertooth also checked out the engine for me and found the vaccum leak, blocked up a few pipes and the car runs great now. I will need to change the water pump as it is still leaking.
Also ordered this from drift works :cool:
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/101_4131.jpg
Ill be dropping the car up to Yowdy to sort the hydro for me, at least ill have the piece of mind that its gonna be done right :D
think ya mite be best to get a better bracket for that hydro man
^^^ i plan to re-enforce it a bit better that wat it is, i wz in a hurry at the time, but it is quite sturdy.
ah cool once its sturdy yano urself ! :)Quote:
