To bring the car to the garage i put the TRIAL wheels i got under it,
Dont know what to make of them to be honest, i might use them.
Paint the center's and the car will be lower.

What do ye think?


Editing just to say Gem i dont want your opinion, i already know it
Anyone else ill welcome them ha ha

personally ive never liked the 3 spoke wheels but thats just my opinion.

During a drift day at mondello i noticed the car was building up pressure in the water system and throwing it out the overflow so headgasket sprung to mind.

The car was supposed to have metal H/G and cams etc but when i ripped it i found everything to be totally standard in the engine. I think the engine was changed since andy gray had it as im sure he said it had a metal H/G.



Here is the top of a piston to verify what model engine it is


This is one for Colm, the pick up pipe! which one is this again S13 i suppose

The good news is the headgasket is gone but the block is damaged,

My boss wasnt around this evening to give his advice but i hope it can be skimmed or whatever




I took the block into the booth to get a bit of light on the subject, we will see now how they turned out, my pics still come out crap

The first pic is without the gasket, you can see a groove pitted into the block
The second is with the gasket down where its gone
The last pic is how the gasket should be, nice and even all the way round.

Im actually thinking of painting them the colour or a similar colour to the red car, Ah we'll see they are not a pressing thing yet.

[Frankae86]

Few more of my poor block and one of the shell bearings, think that pic came out bad

[way2fastforu]

an are ya leavin the car that colour or sprayin it another one???

[Frankae86]

The new car is being painted a different colour.
Im 99% sure which colour but i wont say anything until its painted in case i change my mind or whatever.
