Well it's taken fifeteen months with considerable blood sweat and tears and about $8000 but the beast fired up tonight and purred like a kitten, thank god, cause I was getting sick and tired of fending off the chief financial controler about the amount of money I have spent on this one.
Basic complete rebuild, bore was good and crank just needed linishing. Forged pistons, 2 new rods, rebuilt heads, 2 new cartridges for turbos (Original) lot of bits and pieces like oil pump, engine mounts, repairs to sump, machined flywheel, new clutch EGR delete, new oil pipes and water pipes to turbos and lots of repairs from past fools that should not be allowed under the bonnet!!
Body Kit The front is stock as the previous owner demolished the aftermarket kit and the sideskirts are all that is left but I am told it is Mugen or Veilside.
