    for the moment i've had two deliveries today!
    this one will be the centre piece for my custom boot skin covering.


    and this will ensure my 9000rpm limiter won't cause engine failure!

    update.
    my gasket kit arrived today... full of toyota goodness.!!

    did some more work on the bay smoothing.

    sat down and planned out my engine build..

    . ARP rod bolts
    . ARP main studs
    . ARP head studs
    . ARP flywheel bolts
    . Fully balanced bottom end with gze pistons
    . ACL race bearings
    . Supertech Valves 1mm oversize + valve springs + titanium retainers
    . Intake ported
    . Exhaust ported
    . need some more research into cams... may leave em stock.
    . TODA metal HG 0.8mm.
    . At this stage i believe i'll be using an EMS computer. have one sourced still trying to decide if its gonna be good enough.
    . 30mm trumpet inside custom plenum
    . Td-04/05 turbro on custom turbo manifold.
    . tomei crank cap ladders

    about as fas as i've gotten. but should be a tough engine.

    now since i've flaird my rear guard i need to flare my fronts. so today i got a crappy panel and gave it a go.

    turns out its quite easy!

    rear guard.


    front... need at least another 20mm


    marked the cuts out (note how they get smaller... this will help to retain the bodylines and provide a smooth transition.
    and cut



    bend em out a bit till you get your desired flare. tack weld then full weld.


    grind smooth.

    onece they are all done figreglass it and prime and prep it so its smooth for paint.

    only a test panel so i won't be doing the smoothing. but yeah thats todays progress.
