Marty_T3 kindly came up to hack at my car, I broke the captive nut for the ARB - similar to Yak & Bigtone


Cheers Marty :notworthy

I did some more drilling later on in the evening, till my drill blew up :wack:

I'm still only half way accross the bumper support....

I did get the cage in before the drill passed on at least ..

I wanted it rolling by the end of today, not much left, mainly the bushes of the rear hubs and fitting + diff.
I seemed to be fannying around with little jobs for most of the day ...





Back at work tommorrow, so I'll have to do the little bits in the evening, which I was trying to avoid doing .. I was sure a week off work would be long enough
It will be ready to go to DCMS on time though, for engine fitting, and down to Garys for VEMS & mapping shortly after that.
I've failed to tackle the splitter, or brake ducting at all though
or clean and paint the now de-soundproofed interior :annoyed:

Felt good tonight, even after being back at work, so got on with some more stuff, and picked up more goodies.
Borrowed a dremel (Cheers Bren
) and trimmed then fitted the front bumper properly

Sparco FIA approved Seat, need a FIA one and the K-sport isnt approved
Also full braided hose set for the turbo.

Fire extinguisher, will be a nice fit I think

Looks great
I thought that was Fuggles in the back of your car in one of those pictures :lol: Er, maybe not 
Very best of luck for TA. The car looks like it has the potential to be quick, we'll see what the driver is like now :thumb:

]Well long day ....
Car is now at DCMS being prepped for its trip to APT, last few jobs ...
In all the time I've owned this S13 it has never made it to my house, mainly its lived at Yaks, but today it came visiting

Hole for MAT sensor (air charge temp, for ECU as ditching the AFM)

New vs old throttle body
Also had to port the plenum - cheers Pete

And this is how it was left at the end of the day ...



No pictures of Diff fitting, plenum porting, K-Sport 330mm brake fitting, Brake line runs which were also done today
