Cheers Man! Yeah theres loads of em round here...parts are right expensive here tho, we take the abundance of jdm gear we got at home for granted!!

Got this nice bit of kit today and test fitted it! Techno Toy Tuning Tri brace..





Also stripped my damaged engine and took it to the local engine shop...he reckons block is good! So picked up a silvertop block for cheap,gonna pull the crank out and put it into my 16v block with new bearings,and gonna turbo it...
