Thanks lad

So after a long search for some nice 17's I picked up these





I'll put up better pics of them once i get tyres on them again..

I needed 2 spares for the back, so i bought 2 basicly brand new rota gtr's off Drift_sil80, 17x9.5 et12.
I'll get pics up later

Kieran changed to a td06 so I bought these custom hard pipes off him which no longer fit his car ..i was delighted cause there serious quality, and his engine damper wouldn’t fit any more either so I got that off him too!
This pipe goes fom the turbo to the air filter, 3 inch the whole way and no afm



Iv this one fitted so you can see where it goes..


After waiting a week for my wheel valves for the dished wheels, we put tyres on them and they seemed to be fine, came back the next day and they were soft. The person (i had a few words to describe what i tought of him wrote, instead of "person", but i decided to take them out!) who refurbished the wheels didn’t seal them properly, so I had to take the tyres back off, remove all the sealer, split the wheels, seal them up properly and put the wheels back together.. more time wasted

I initially intended to just roll the arches and lots of low, but when I put on the wheels that went out the window! So I got the 50mm quarters of Mike Fitz's car and i got 25mm wings off Drive n Style. I got sideskirts with the car and i also got a uras back bumper with a bit of damage, i bought a uras front bumper off Drift_sil80, also with a bit of damage but both fixable.

The power fc i got was out of a blacktop so we got pinout diagrams off the interweb and Kieran changed the pin outs to suit the redtop.

We finally had the engine running perfectly, so we bled the brakes and the clutch and I went to drive it out of the garage and it wouldn’t go into gear. I was fairly pissed off to put it lightly
The clutch didn’t seem to be disengaging fully so the box had to come out again. The bearing I got with the clutch obviously wasn’t the right one.
We got a local machine shop to make a spacer to go on the sleeve behind the bearing I had. Put it all back together and put the box up..still the same thing, we tried putting a spacer on the slave cylinder to lengthen the rod and still the same story.

After a lot of research I found out that os giken clutches need their own release bearing and sleeve to work.. So I ordered one off wcp which took about three weeks to come from japan.
We took the box down again, put in the os giken release bearing and sleeve, up with the box and still no go
Considering the clutch and release bearng are costing me a fair amount at this stage its fairly depressing it wont work, so im trying to sort that out.
Iv had alot of costly setbacks so far, which is fairly sickening.. Id say if id ducks they'd drown!

Coming along nicely paddy i like the wheels, keep up the good work!

And im sure your luck cant be that bad that your ducks cant swim no LOL
