My wife reckons I won't be happy unless I've done it all myself (or more correctly paid for it all myself) with the car I bought first, rather than taking short cuts by buying other cars. Those who have already travelled the path say you should take every opportunity that presents. But what would you do if you didn't have the Mustard any more? You'd have to change your name by deed poll. ๐ค BTW how's the camera going?
Mick, your legacy lives on, in multiple vehicles ๐
Dave, do you think we've hijacked your thread enough now?

It's not hijacking, its encouraging! Just go hey dave, check this link - ... http://www.germanlook.co.uk/

I know what you mean about colonel mustard... so many people think im crazy and should get rid of him, and its a waste of money and time.... I tell them that they should stop doing stuff they like, cause its a wate of time and money... "well that's different"... they can never explain how, funny that.
I think i agree with your wife, it would be cheating if i just grabbed a car half done off ebay... (that and i would keep the current one, and spend more money, now that is a issue!)
Camera is going well, still learning, and trying to figure stuff out, when i can afford a computer of my own (with some sort of editing program....even if its just to crop..) i might have some decent photos up ๐
buy one done or half done then you could be driving it around instead of being stuck in the shed๐๐คช๐๐คช
yes we are all just trying to keep the dream alive.๐

66deluxe, what size stainless? could be keen, was going to use ally but for the right $$ i may change my mind...
hellbugged, pulled some stuff off the EJ today/tonight, typical midnight finish to the day, gasket hole size against port size... theres about 3mm extra all round available for porting.... my thoughts were along the lines of hmmm... is it too late to call DB about this option....
boss lady says no, leave it stock for now.
& i followed with exactly that, forgiveness is easier to get than permission ๐
-theres too many daimos on here, almost as bad as daves ๐
ian... the most obvious solution is get a bigger garage๐

yeah do the porting! if you have a rotary grinder and some carbide bits i think you will find it easy enough to do it your self. I can put up some how to links if you like........did you get decent gaskets for all of the exhaust yet?..............i was super impressed with the grimmspeed and found a good supply on ebay to

I thought they would have had the exhaust vid up by now.I believe they will be doing it soon, but i will search out the pics i saw. There are a few shots and descriptions on the GRIMMSPEED site........if all else fails i will do some pics of the notch's getting done
their oil/air seperator looks good for us, as does the "fail open" 60' thermostat.....heaps of gear there!
I was very happy with grimmspeed's service and products on the things they sent for the notch........just waiting on some restocking to get the rest we need
hey daimo.... guess whos got most of the gear in that vid ๐
tempting to do some home porting, but that means an engine tear down, where do you stop though?? while its apart, ahh well while im here get some I beam rods, ej25 crank, tomei cams turbo & quad throttle body... the list goes on
hey DB, how hard would porting be for me to do at home? & how likely am i to stuff it up ๐

VF30 left T28 on the right (ignore the oil factor, yes its farrrked)
supers are the fatchick of the bugs right? does this count as obese? mustard & myself noticed from some odd angle that it seems to be getting fatter, maybe it was the bumper...
