    So got a bit done over the weekend and today
    Pedal box is over and bolted in clutch master cylinder has been cleaned up repainted and bolted in
    Cross member
    And steering rack is bolted in.. Have a bit of a problem though as I'm only running standard lower control arms and the steering rack has a lock spacer in it.. I can get one wheel pointing forward but the other is at full lock pointing in.. Any ideas guys? I've tried adjusting it as much as I can on that side but it's no better

    Also got my inter cooler mounted in and oil cooler is mounted!

    Need to go over everything over the next few days and make sure it's all tight and clean up the engine bay!!
    Hopefully drop the motor in on Friday and hopefully have it running by Sunday!!

    So been a while since I've done an update but motor is in and running and doing everything it's meant to be doing

    Just need to sort out suspension...
    At the moment I'm running sigma LCAs but it's just too much track for me so I need to get my hands on some XT130s.. So if anybody is wanting to swap from xt130s to sigma LCAs let me know or if you know of some up for sale send me a link.. I keep my eyes out as much as possible but not always quick enough

    And then I'll be needing to organize some coil overs and ae86 hubs for the brake upgrade

    And there is always more work to do in between.. So while I'm hunting and searching for stuff I'll be doing some cosmetic upgradesand a good cut and polish.. Fix up some rust etc etc.
