[Matt]

Kinda jelly of that turbo and twist mount!!

One day I suppose.. lol

[Reevesy]

So kicked a few small goals today,Was still in car tinkering mode after playing with Robs car yesterday.

 

ABS is removed, just need to source the Non ABS parts which should be easy enough from a local wreckers

Installed the 4 pots with fresh machined rotors (Thanks Rob) Will be replaced with some T2's down the track

 

And have finally sorted my wiring loom issues, have an unmolested stock loom incoming from NZ. So plan now is to install that, and Ben from Ichiban is going to make up a patch loom for the adaptronic to the stock loom. Then it is just changing/repinning a few plugs in the engine bay and it will be right to go.

 

Going to bring home a welder from work this week as well so I can tuck my exhaust up and turn the angle cannon straight. Also will plumb the wastegate back into the exhaust and will do my FMIC piping as well depending on which welder I can get.

Rob told me you might be interested in my rear end arms when I swap to the pink arms to upgrade to C link bits? Can have them for headers swapsie if you want 

[Reevesy]

Yeah sounds good to me , i need to get rid of these pissy little droplinks

[Reevesy]

Did a bit more over the weekend.

Installed all the non abs gear. Just waiting on some braided lines to finish all the brakes of. Will be interesting to see what the pedal feel is like after bleeding due to going down in size on the master cylinder.

Relocated fuse box to inside front guard. Making a box at work right now to protect it from the elements.

But now the engine bay looks empty after removing the abs and fuse box. There is just so much room for activities.

And picked up some front and rear whiteline alloy swaybar links of Matt for a great price, beats paying ~$350 for new ones.

Also the looms have been sent from nz so this car will be 110% ready for HVC

There is just so much room for activities.

Yummy!

Can you get some pics of the relocated fuse box? I'm curious about it - How do you still have access to it, etc. How much work was it to do?

 

Cheers,

Ben

I'll grab some pics on the weekend, to get to it you just have to undo and pull back the plastic arch guard and it has the lid facing down so have plenty of room to reach and pull fuses . So not too hard would only take a minute to do.

 

Its currently held in by 1 bolt and a couple of cable ties which would probably do the job, but I am making a bracket up to mount it properly with a cover to stop any stray water splashing up into it.

 

To actually put it physically in the guard was about a 5min job after the guard was pulled off, just unplug everything pull cables back, plug back in. Still have the alternator wiring to reroute but will wait till the rest of the loom is in.

Update time....

 

After being forked around by the wreckers in NZ i was getting the looms from(Thankfully I used paypal) I finally got a loom from Miguel. Have now got it all wired in and ready to kick over with some fresh fuel tomorrow.

 

Finally bought a welder home today to get the exhaust all done and dusted, so just waiting on some brake lines and then after a full fluid change it will finally be 'driveable' so will be at HVC as long as no major issues pop up.

 

Still plenty of small bits and pieces to do but will make a list of them and slowly cross everything off one by one.

[Matt]

So ya coming for a pre HVC cruise with me and Rob after my tune on the 18th?

[Reevesy]

So looks like I am pulling the pin on this wagon.

The Mrs has given the green light to put everything into a Gen 3 wagon, which is what I wanted to do from the start

So will take eoi and offers on any bits and pieces( excluding engine turbo exhaust ecu)

[Matt]

Any bits i may want?

[Reevesy]

Probably not lol but feel free to come around and have a look

[Matt]
