ninja'd mustards pics from the other nite
😁
late column stalks!
rough strut brace i picked up from gordons back yard, flipped for interests sake to see if a spare fits above the tank - so in the pic it does look quite strange
and pics of the tie rods from lanner (
http://vdubengineering.com/products/tierods.htm ) obviously with ends installed, on a lowered super if you still bend these, either flip them over or get bigger wheel/tyres, they are mighty strong compared to stock
🙂
a few more from me soon....

another turbo comparison....
suparu eninge looks small in there now....
I think i got more done for my car than dave did on his last night, thanks for letting me use your gear dave 🙂
And thanks again to sides for the caliper parts, I've got them installed now 🙂
what size wheels are in that turbo, looks a bit small????
BEING ASPIRATED FEELS GREAT BUT BEING BLOWN TAKES THING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL....
vf30 works well for the notch
I'd use the hitachi, They put out awesome power for there size because they have a very very light rotating assembly, different disign compressure
wheel and cover. Hard to compare to similar size garrett.
It alsow bolts straight on, with dump pipe aswell.

Let me see if I get this right, - NARDI Deep Corn Steering Wheel? They only come in 350mm, no 380mm, correct?
Don't ask me why it's a Deep CORN wheel. That makes about as much sense to me as a disco potato, but oh well. I'll try to remember for when it counts. Like, when the car is actually RUNNING and NEEDS said steering wheel to look good. Wait... It's gonna be a rat for a while so it's not going to need to look good...
Ah well, I guess you won't need one any time soon.

Oil Relocation for EJ20
Comparison to original Oil/Water cooler.
Gains about 50mm in clearance from the ground.
He says he'll probably end up still going with the CANTON style relocation kit for maximum clearance.

Went to Extreme Motorsport again today. He let me drive the Tig to the North Side.
🤪 He picked up some more goodies, like his new air/fuel ratio doover. The dash set-up is ALMOST complete.

either has the ability to be bolt on, not alot of stock exhaust will be useful to me, clearance is an issue you see, not like those rotor things, that & im almost clueless as far as turbos go, only go the basics of housings roughly understood
*big intake, small exhaust - low down power/top end suffers
*matched size intake/exhaust - low end is laggy, top end less restricted
*small intake/big exhaust - laggy as all hell but once up it can make crazy boost
from looking at various setups thats all ive been able to gather...
said id query you about this at the drive in the other week, ill get around to it eventually
😂
my plans are usually delayed about 2-4weeks of late.
perfect example is a run down to db's that was about a month ago, was going to cruise down tomorrow but other stuff has changed that yet again, dont ask about the braided brake lines
😂
on the weight factor, damn right, the nissan/garrett sucker is lead brick style

I can relate so much.
It really sucks when you're putting a freshly painted car together and you hear loud noises that shouldn't be occurring.

If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.
Wow... I go out for 2 hours and there is like 2 new pages.....
I have indeed learnt to avoid saying whoops near dave... he gets a bit antsy... easpecially if its near his gearbox, radiator or motor....
the new shiney bits look sweet dave... 🙂 you didnt tell me that you had gotten something!
You don't know half the shit I've got. 😂

Funny about the "whoops" comments... heard him say that a couple of times around Jezzi, but man he'd freak if I said it around the Tig !!!

Hey Dave, have you considered the sway bar from -
http://www.germanlook.com/store/suspension.html ??
"Kerscher Anti-Roll Bar front 23mm
epoxy coated, with mounting material
Part Number: 7380062KER
Price: US$214.69"
is it just me or is that bent differently to allow more steering angle without hitting? sway bar is my limit with the current wheels 😂
in other news, stidub has a new home, so if anyone wants stuff from my parts for sale thread, speak now 👍

you always know what is happening with my car... and you know eventually i will pay you back, even if it is just lifting heavy boxes to/from trailer and taking photos....
just a thought, before you put it all at the new home, maybe i could re-photo stuff and make a new F/S thread...
no work on the bug this weekend 🙁 messy messy night in the valley last nite, does anyone actually stop doing silly things when your seriously feeling too old to do that anymore? 😂
on a positive though, boss lady was happy, crawled into bed when her alarm went off to get up for work😂
