ah right my bad, the cage i got from sean sinnott it was a cusco dash dodger but the from bars and door bars were done for pd rules. it had a logging sticker on it but i had to take it off to paint it. but it should pass idc rules from what i have read on the rules and asked a few people about it. there a pretty trick door bar i must say

update but no pics but soon to follow.
Got the inlet back on the car with all pipes etc and done the oil filter which was dead handy with the inlet off, fuel filter and new oil again with Lucas 10w60.

I didn't explain a ove as to why i took the inlet off so here goes.
When i replaced the t25 that was on for the time being with a t28BB turbo i noticed there was alot of oil inside the intercooler pipes, found out there was a turbo in before the t25 and the seals went. I cleaned the intercooler and pipes but never did the inlet and it was bugging me since to check it.
So after alot of degreaser and carb cleaner the throttle bodie got a full clean and go over and the inlet inside is now spotless as well as the fuel rail and everything else.
Back together tonight and fingers crossed it would work and RESULT it does! Now the car should breath a bit better hopefully with all that effort.

While i was looking i noticed my engine mounts aren't particularly great so im going to get some engine and gearbox mounts off japspeed on the sxoc deal they do on them which if you don't know about the deals they do, get on it! 130 is delivered for engine and gearbox mounts which imo is pretty damn cheap compared to others!

Aww cool sound man keep up the good work

[decobyrne106]

lets try bring this up to speed then.

The wings i painted with cans from halfrauds and to my surprise, all the prep work on them worked a treat and they came out really good!


Friend of mine did a lovely job combining the normak seat rails with the solid mounts so i could move the seat back and forth, while that was done i prepped them and painted them and i got some silver paint and glitter laquer and tidied up my spare seat aswell which came out savage!



i purchased whiteline anti roll bars and links etc off of jay @ DiMotorsport, again gent to deal with and fast postage with everything described 100%. Fitting them was easy enough too. Really top quality piece of kit!
(no pics of rear, don't know how i don't have pics of the rear but you get the idea)



gave the front bumper a going over with gloss, the matte wasn't really working. Fitted the spring catches, painted the roof spoiler and made some canards/splitter sides or whatever you may call em. heres how the car looked prior to goldstone





now onto goldstone. The day was awesome! Loads of faces showed up and it was nice to see a decent crowd at it and the day ran really smooth.



The greaney's m3 powered 180sx was so awesome to see at the corner of my eye on my door the hole time!



I got to meet some people and give some passenger spins so was a really good day.

Friend of mine which you would have seen earlier in the thread with a red s14, we finally got to go out on track together and get some tandems going! Sadly theres no pics of it as of yet and there should be incar vids of it soon but it was just such a cool experience to go out and do some close drifting. However there is one video thats not too long and had to cut some things out of it but its better than nothing

(its a facebook video so not sure if everyone can view it)
That run was short it was only the first time out, but the incar vids to come of maybe another 4 sessions of the same thing with longer on door action so watch this space.
Last run of the day was cut short sadly. Out on track with alan and everything was going well, he spun i spun and i tapped my p/s door off him, that was fine but to my surprise another car came and hit my 1/4 and left a good hulk footprint in it


''Sure thats rallyin'' as they say
Ive 30mm quaters to come and the rear end is getting some gripfab attention. So onwards and upwards from here on in. Ive already started to collect some parts like rear lights etc.

review of the day from clutchkick.net http://www.clutchkick.net/2013/09/goldstone-drift-day/

[decobyrne106]

More progress.
Got 30mm overfenders from Kits&Bits in northern Ireland
Great thanks to stephen@Kits&Bits for making these up for me. Really good fit. I've only roughly mocked them up to the car atm.

Heres the facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kits-...711366?fref=ts

These cover the hole quarter and go right down to the bottom of the car which was exactly what i was looking for.


I recently purchased another shell for cheap money. Good shell no major rust atall. Im going to use that shell for it's shut lines around the bootlid and the back panel rather than twist and pull bent steel its just never going to be straight.
Ive booked the car into gripfab for them to do the work. More updates soon.

[decobyrne106]

Car is sent to gripfab to have some fabrication done. Will try keep you guys posted im looking foward to seeing the final product its in good hands

[decobyrne106]
