Hopefully my N1 ek9 pulley will be here in time for me to fit it and get my valve clearences done before the quarter mile at crail on the 14th.

Also ITR ARB and Droplinks will they fit on my car?

 

[darren-godfrey]

So got my tax and registration plates sorted now my car is registered as black 14x7 plates.

Window regulator and motor off bash on sunday, fitted it monday and iot worked for a wee while then got stuck up, but went down this morning so i just needty make sure i dont get it stuck.

Removed the part of the dash where the ciggarete lighter and ashtray are so that my dvd player screen can fold out now yayy.

Got another gauge cluster off my mate colin with two gauges oil temp and oil pressure. With sandwich plate and sensors.

And some extras he threw in with the cluster

Litto recaros beein al cute and ****.

EK9 N1 lightweight pulley came to my work nice and early this morning, bought off the top guy Buc.

And some led lights for my interior as mine was just too dim.

Blue cable ties, wonder what i could do with these,

Well this is what i did haha litto bit more blue! Took advantage of the fact my drivers window can go down and fitted my drivers deflector.

And now just a few random shots i took after i was done.

Hate that manifold, cant wait to get a nice shiny turbo mani

Thats all just now next thing will probably be hopefully,

New crank seal gasket, pulley side.
New oil and filter.
Change pulley to the lightweight N1
Fit and wire in gauges.
Valve timing and new timing belt.

I hope.

Things coming my way, i have just put a deposit down on some hasport solid engine mounts, will be getting new driveshafts, itr cams dual valve springs and retainers, a 3" catback system that i might just put up for sale when it arrives as dont want it anymore, might eventualy get my rocker cover back has been getting powder coated since may and will be getting andrew to wire in my guages in a week or two.

Now over the weekend i swapped induction kits to another whale cock coz this one fits better.

And a picture of my n1 ek9 pulley fitted.

 

[darren-godfrey]

Tried to get my balljoints out tonight to no success seems a hammer is not sufficient for me, will be getting my tools after work and doing it at my own house where the vice is to press them out.

Shud be recieving a race chip for my b16 for my p28 in the post tommoroe so we will see how that goes.

Also might be getting my b20 out the way for a trade of sorts, wish i could fit it but just dont have time.

To do

Fit rear fiberglass lip.

Fit new catback and get old one up for sale.

Fit p28 b16 chip.

Get my guages wired in.

Replace balljoints.

Spray spare wing and fit.

Buy a full gasket kit off japservice parts and change the gaskets that need doing, outlet mani, rocker cover and crank seal on pulley side.

More pics of exhaust.

 

[darren-godfrey]

Dedication is key my friend! Please remind me and text me details and if u wamna meet before etc man coz i will forget for sure!

So today i got all my balljoints fitted and replaced etc. Didnt take lots of pics coz its boring **** lol.

Started like this lol.

****** yo!

And ASR ARB 24mm fitted!

More **** to happen soon will keep this updated regularly, suggestions etc!

Ohh and i now have a turbo kit, need a b series mani but

 

[R1PPU]

Cant believe you dont like nandos

 

[darren-godfrey]

Cant believe you dont like nandos

The chicken is so dry its unreal, went twice and hated it so not wasting my money anynore,.chinese buffet all the way Hup Lee!


Some may have clicked on i swapped my b20 for a turbo kit, its a ebay one but i dont mind tbh as its never been used other than downpipe and intercooler.

Its a d series manifold so thats up for sale and im on the look out for a b series one.

Also a few cars have been stolen in glasgow recently and it makes me para, although to some my car may not seem desirable, its mine so i intend to keep it.

full honda alarm. Hope to get andrew at automek to wire this in as i am clueless.

 

[Robbanwrx]

Good job!

 

[darren-godfrey]

Really need to stop spending on my race car haha.

Went up and seen martin tonight to buy this.

D1 spec silver quick release hub.

And within 5 minutes of being home i had whipped out tge head torch and sat with my woman and fitted it.

Much coolness. Will be taking my wheel in with me everynight now.

Also while i was up seing martin was just chatting away about how i needed new mounts and all of a sudden the mounts from adams b22 ek he broke a while back came into sight and i bought those aswell, look hardly used! Innovitive solid mounts, always wanted a set.

I think i owe it to my car to oet her rest for a while im always doing something so the plan is to stop spending now till after christmas. I need a b series manifold for my turbo so when it snows ill take off my manifold and exhaust system, induction kit and sell them. Spwnd money to get a manifold and mod my downpipe to fit perfect.

Will have updates before christmas but no new purchases! I hope.
