It looks to be coming on very well Mark, good work!

The wheels have come up well, I still think they fit in with the "theme" of the car well and suit it, I am looking forward to seeing your car finished!

thats a cracking car, what brakes are you running on the front? :o)

the wheel & arch combo are 1st rate, i like it alot

was the internal gear selector setup difficult?

SKYLINES ARE LIKE CLITS, EVERY FLANGE SEEMS TO HAVE ONE: see this sticker on my silvia

the Search-section on this forum is blummin superb & simple to use, unlike some other forums, without the search-section & the help of this bunch of chaps on here i'll never be able to !!!Start the day with a 998cc turbo!!! :) i'm getting closer though!

Thanks for the positive comments guys, just cannot wait to get the engine back.
Tom - thanks mate, the wheels do seem to look 'right' just need to get some centres for them
Clubminiflip - the brakes are mk1 fiesta with machined down 8.4inch disc, the internal gear was easy but expensive, it's direct from kad.

I may be wrong but often 10" wheels actually look better without any centres in than with.

Try making some dummy ones out of wood and painting them silver to see what they look like, you may be suprised!

I always used to run my 10" minilites with no centres as they looked better.

I do agree Tom, especially on the back, it's just the fact you can see the castle nut on the front that puts me off.

Well havn't updated this for quite a while, having a baby and a new job has really eaten into my free time for the last 12 months or so.

Things are calming down a bit now and i've been able to spend a few days solid in the garage, got the engine finished and put in the car, done some work tidying the carb and turbo up. Just waiting for a few bits to arrive from avonbar and ebay and i should really be able to get cracked on.

Hoping to on the road this summer.

Thanks to BENROSS for helping out witha bit of welding on my downpipe and intercooler and for working his magic on the exhaust elbow and manifold.

Anyway a couple of pics

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

Excellent.

This really is looking stunning.

Have you painted the exhaust housing on your turbo, or is it just super clean?

In the 13's at last!.. Just
