    Nah dude. Housing is still in customs, such a fucking pain in the arse!!

    Other things are still happening though.

    Got my hubs shortened

    Found a cheap IS200 box and pulled it apart to be fitted this weekend.

    [​IMG]

    Replaced the bent knuckle with the one I had lying around....broken one started making weird noises :wack:

    [​IMG]

    Definitely was not enjoying the lack of a ratchet.....had to improvise some

    [​IMG]

    And a little picture from last weekend :)

    Oh yea. I didnt know the meaning of seized bolts until I started working on your 5 :D Its just getting access to the box bolts is pretty awkward. I pulled the downpipe and intake manifold off last time to make life easier. Thats the time consuming part :D once thats done, the box comes out pretty quick.

    Oh man, by looking at your pictures mint...I am in urgent need of more poke on the front >_<

    any idea on what sort of power its making?
    I need to get mine sorted asap.
    two weeks of it being sat on a ramp is far too long.

    bigniks ive been busy with doing fuckall and not making the car any better :D

    Twiglett, at this point in time with a broken turbo it feels like 100bhp :D But it was around the 270 mark before. You still messing with your gearbox? Cant be having a tezza up on ramps at all, sort it out ;)

    I have all of the parts to fix it and make it a lot better than before....but...........and this is an important but.

    i cant get to the bloody thing. its on a ramp beside my mates workshop and he is away in Ireland competing in the IDC.

    he let me know that i left the drivers door open for a week so the battery is fucked. kind of him to tell me rather than shut it

    [​IMG]

    and other goodies :wack:

    [​IMG]

    Knuckles with built in rca's :smash: Two turns lock to lock

    Front suspension setup ready to be fitted

    [​IMG]

    Upon closer inspection, the hubs look pretty decent

    [​IMG]

    Also the turbo housing left the customs today...Now I just need to find the time to fit it all before the weekender
