Been a while since I last updated this thread. I have been kept busy with work, but on the upside this has generated a little much needed cash to allow me to buy some parts.
I now have, sitting on the bench, a pair of Munroe Racing Turbochargers highflowed CT12As, six new super spark coils (old ones aren't stuffed, but with two JZZ30s it is only a matter of time), an order for a new alloy radiator and I am working towards having the cash to buy a decent standalone computer around christmas time (and warmer temperatures) for a full on assault on the track car.
I have been reading as much as I can about fibreglassing etc. I had a small drama a while back and the fibreglass I put in the back of the bar to join the original section to the new work caused significant swelling in the plastic of the original bar when I put it out in the sun. That has taken a significant amount of my time to try and rectify, and I have learnt a lesson about adding catalyst to offset the stupid cold temperatures when fibreglassing. I'd love to report I learnt a lesson about patience as well, but I would be lying. I'm sure I'll mess something else up with impatience before this is done...
