when i realised that mine had gone through summer without gas, and that i really wasnt using it, i removed the whole lot.
it did wonders for my radiator efficiency, and i reckon it gave me at least another 10 rwkw's on my butt dyno!!!!

YAY! Glad to see progress. That block is nice and clean, your pistons are so shiny, would've been nice if you could put a glass head rather than aluminum (remember the Aluminium-Glass they invented in Star Trek?)

If I can call this post anything, I would name it
"Bad Karma"
I got my car back from Calibrator on Saturday. Upon arriving home I wanted to pop on the bonnet, once again it didn't fit, freaking ABS. Time was on the short end, so I left work for Sunday - BAD IDEA
Sunday came and gone, I had one of the worst hang-overs since my 21st funny being I wasn't event that smashed, guess one's body can only take so much Hunters Gold and Tequila. By 15:00 I recovered and started grinding and welding (On a Sunday, my neighbors love me). I took 4 tries to get the ABS sitting right... I still think its touching the bonnet, but only by a pupic hair thickness. This after my grinder ate its power cord and my finger tip.
Tried fitting my Nardi steering wheel, it don't fit onto a momo Hub, yeah another issue
Car still no bonnet / bumper
Car still not assembled will finish tonight, removing the buildup of dust INSIDE the car took nearly 2 hours.
Engine Bay
To be honest, I'm not so excited to have the car back as I'm supposed to be, not sure if its the build up of sh!t I've been having the last few weeks or just expecting Karma to punish me again.
I'd like to close of the Project-D chapter now, but there is still a few things that needs to happen, many won't be this year.
