    Sweet, be good to see the thing run. I have got mine booked in for the final tune this week and will be back out there Sunday. Hopefully the smoke issues are gone

    Change of plans Paul, No way I can have the car ready in time this week.... No Spirited driving for me.......
    I totally forgot about tuning (engine now has bigger turbo GT28R), so that throws me way out. I still need an intercooler, and get the exhaust I have modified slightly....... I really cant afford it this week
    Instead, I am going to go drifting at Wakefield on Saturday in the SR86.... I got 14 tyres ready to smoke

    Even once the wags is running and registered, sadly there will be no Spirited Drives in it yet, because of the diff..... I really cant see it liking any power/torque through it.... I will be doing something about it, but for the mean time, I just need a running daily (current VS Statesman is just about fucked).....

    Ok. Really getting excited now.... Stuff all left to do..... Just money really holding me up, as maintaining and building my cars are sending me broke....

    Anyway, Got to the point of turning the key this afternoon!!!!!!!! Well, not all the way to start it (no engine oil or intercooler), but to test if everything electrical is working etc...... As expected, everything powered up perfect, first time Dash, Microtech hand controller, fuel pumps.......

    It is sitting nice at the front now with the GReddy coilovers. I just need to sort out the height at the back,,,

    I have a chrome bumper, but didn't really like the look of it. So I deceided to make my own front, still keeping the spirit of the beater theme of the car. After trying differant bars and lips from the "pile" up the back, I found a combination that will give the front a "better, rougher" look...

    I ended up using a stock ADM AE86 front bar, cut horizontal in half at the bottom. I then used a MX73 front lip on the bottm to finish it off..... I still have to fit an intercooler, and I will leave that visible, with some sort of black mesh and some indicators on the sides to fill the final gaps....

    It is really close to running and driving. Still a bit to do to make the car "finished" in the styling department

    To Do:

    - Buy and mount a intercooler and piping etc,
    - make a bracket for the HKS turbo actuator,
    - Engine oil, gearbox oil
    - Weld flanges to exhaust
    - Fit bucket seats
    - Reset rear leaves

    Huge huge effort man! Liking the look of it, can't wait to see it with its butt slammed!
    Can't remember - but are you running a front bumper?

    Thanks Joel. Doing this wagon, while doing everything that goes with the SR86, full time job (night shift), Drift fest, etc etc etc, you can imagine I am pretty busy... My life aint cheap, but cars I love, and cars I shall do... pretty happy with the timeframe so far, and it is all done well, not just slapped together with wires and shit everywhere.
    I am going to have to get some sort of diff for the wagon, the stock Borgwonka surely wont like 170kw+, and would give up it's spirit..... hahhaha...... I would guess a Hilux leaf diff would be the way to go, but I still need to research which model hilux has the good LSD diffs etc....

    No bumper. With the empty space above my homemade lip, it will have the intercooler in there, which will be left visible, and the the gaps to the sides will have some black mesh with indicators mounted in the mesh.....
    Having no front bumper, removes the 'pointyness' of the slant front I reckon....
