Got an engine stand as well, makes things so much easier

nice project
Small update:
The block, head, liners and oil pump are now over at TDP. Expecting to have the bits back at the end of January :) So nothing more will be happening with the engine till then.
I also picked up TDP alloy solid subframe bushings, by far the cheapest i've seen around and serious quality.
A few more bits have been ordered (officially broke for Christmas!)
Adjustable arms, rocker stoppers, cams and ACT 6 Puck Sprung clutch

Got some mint BC BR coilovers off Darragh.. fully adjustable aswell.
Spent two evenings cleaning them down. Here's one of the rears clean

Just about have the rear finished now. Subframe now has alloy subframe bushings, and anything that couldn't be fitted with a spherical bearing is polybushed (Bushes are a cunt!)

Subframe back up

Coilovers in, need to adjust the height etc at some stage

Also ordered progress group front and rear sway bars, should sort the roll out n allow adjustment for different tracks.
Went to put back on my r33 rear brakes.. but can't find the bolts to put the calipers to the knuckle anyway.. typical! If anyone has them please pm me. Also one of the wheel bearings is on the way out so PM me.
Cool man shaping up now !
Them coilovers really are spotless, didn't think they were that clean, ya got a bargain there man
Cool man shaping up now !
