Got onto late model coil conversion.
Gutted the igniter, turned it into a pass through and potted it with epoxy. Not pretty but hopefully should work great for years to come.
Stripped the tubing off the manifold loom, mocked it up then ran my earths alongside the factory wiring. keeps it nice and tidy.
Purchased some RX8 coil connectors as well as new coil connectors to make up a nice tidy harness.
This update really is all over the shop, back and forth doing bits and pieces everywhere. :lolz:
Rebuilt the front hubs, New genuine bearings and seals just like I'd done with the rears.
Ran into clearance issues with the GD high pressure steering line. Wanted to live exactly where the header tank does.
Sussed a line from a BL EJ204 car which works a treat.
Cleaned gearbag
Got the basics of the front end loosely assembled so I could roll it back outside for engine install(Not a lot of room in my 1 car garage)
Shitloads of castor. Didn't expect so much from just the Alloy arms with free castor mod and an anti lift kit.
Clutch installed. Had hoped to run a 6kg flywheel I had but the clutch bolts were spaced further out so unfortunately ended up with the stocker on there.
Gearbag assembled onto motor.
Shoved in the hole
Gearbag mounting goodies. Group N mount, Group N isolators and super pretty Beatrush billet pitch stop
Installed new STi clutch hose and new genuine slave. Managed to install without bleeding the master dry.
Then bled the whole setup on the bench. So much easier than on car.
Got the rest of the frontend installed
Set at ride height to tighten LCAs
Brakes installed, bled them just now after work.
She's getting pretty close now, have her booked for entry to Classic Japan car show on December 16th so it's really turning into a mad thrash to get her there.
Really hoping I can get it done. Regardless of what happens can't wait to finally get in and go for a drive.

got an absolute shitload done on the RS this past week.
Made up a bracket to run the GD powersteering res where the stock charcoal canister goes(I've got a small R33 Skyline canister mounted inside the guard now)
Mounted up the GD cooler too. Pretty much bolt on! 2nd gen MAF bracket with one of the captive nuts chopped off made a nice plate for the 2nd mounting point too.
Conversion steering knuckle and RA Spec C quick rack installed.
All these goodies for the front end.
Jumping around a bit here. Weighed some steel vs composite cam gears, was surprised how big of a difference there is. Decided to leave the composite on the 20K just for throttle response.
Fitted up new horns. None of that Hella nonsense for me
Love the sparkle
Anyway, got the 20K all pulled down and cleaned up. resealed. New timing belt. Swapped over all the nice alloy bits off a Legacy motor.
