Needs more end of October to smash it out while parents are away lel.

 

I did the maths its 2 weekends. Engines and boxes out/servicing one weekend, wiring/engine and box in next weekend. This is sounding dangerously doable 

 

You guys are meant to be talking me out of this...

Three weekends?! What about nights after uni/work/couch sitting??

Where's the commitment!?

If wiring is done early and you have all those little bits that conversions tend to need than you should be sorted for a three weekend turn around!

Or you can wait until you're off your P's and it's stinking hot!

Just saying.

Cheers

Cressida with a 1j conversion. Local cop who hates imports used to wave me through defect stations all the time. used to scratch his head every time he spotted the boost gauge though hahha.

Drove RS' for ages on P's no dramas and no farks given. Libs are about as under the radar as you can get when it comes to turbo cars, save for things like old vulvas and saabs:P

Yeah ive pretty much decided that if the extra bits and pieces are assembled (major service, clutch, bits to return to STi ecu) ill be converting early haha

[Barbbachello]

Alright so the car is getting picked up tomorrow arvo from Wobs place. Should be down here around thursday morning. Keen as mustard. Pretty sure ive spoken to /arranged with everyone who was after large bits that cant be shipped easily so you know whats going on. 

As of now the following is sold
Clear indicators

Grill
GTB Wing

Legacy Garnish
Console Cupholder
Front and rear seats
Door cards

Puddle lamps

Blackout cluster

Air intake funnel thing
Haltech


Once i get the car back to Melbourne ill have:
D-E turbo bonnet with a ding in it
D-E Headlights
Side skirts with front spat things

Various other panels
Billies - probably will be the last thing to go as the car cant move with out struts
Any other bits and pieces youre after

[Barbbachello]

Also while i think of it ive started a list of parts to do a big off service while its out

So far ive got 

Timing belt
Tensioner
Smooth idlers (same part for both?)

Toothed idler

Water pump + gasket
Thermostat + gasket
Intake manifold gaskets (for silicone intake)
Rear main seal
Rear separator plate (if plastic)

Spark plugs

Ignition leads

Spark plug gaskets
Valve cover gaskets (They arent leaking/if it aint broke dont fix it maybe?)
Dump pipe gaskets

Clutch (no idea what one yet)
DW Fuel pump (again no idea what one/pending inspection of donor)

Pretty sure thats it. If theres something im missing let me know. Also are ebay silicone intakes ok?

Ebay sillycone intake.....no....they suck lol

No proper ribbing in them so they suck in

Pro speed intake...or the best in my mind is the one piece AVO intakes
