i can get a pic of the engine bay, but the turbo isnt in at the moment, just polished rocker cover and stainless steel cooler piping is in and connected, it will be going in next week, i just ordered and payed for all the teflon braided stainless steel lines from snort performance, as soon as I get them ill be taking the car down to get the sump taken off and the oil return line fitting put on.
should i put a new oil pump in while the sump is off? ive been getting low oil pressure lately.
I got the 42lb injectors the other day in the mail.
Got another quote for ecu and tune, $1700 from maztech for microtech lt10s
ill have the cash next week to get it all running, dont know how long maztech will need it for.


just sent a money order to ratman for the clear side indicators so should see them on in about 4 days.

My dad use to work in the railways, so he had connections from there and knew someone who use to work there and now has a automotive upholstery business on the other side of the city, think its called J & W Upholstery.

Great looking car mate. I'm impressed with the quality of the work too! It's good to see someone take the time to get it right, piece it all together, and have the attention to detail that makes the difference between a good job and an exceptional standout. Good luck with the turbo, will be good to see it all finished.

thanks for the good comments, makes me feel like ive done it good, I finally put the clear indicators on yesterday, ratmans clear ones, dunno if im happy with the quality of the glue in the clear indicator its really messy. Might sell them soon.

I finally received the oil lines today from snort performance, they seem to be really good quality, only thing is that the fitting on the end of the line doesnt fit into my turbo so I have to go get another fitting tomorrow or monday, then ill get the oil drain line fitting put in on monday tuesday, then the car can go up on jackstands for all the turbo gear to go in, then drive it down to the exhaust place really early in the morning with no exhaust from the cat back. will only be a little loud lol. only about 5 kms anyway.
