    I'm feeling like I'm in a far better position than I was a few weeks ago. All the fluid leaks now appear to be resolved, the mystery "tappy" noise has gone, a few wiring gremlins have been sorted and the car is getting tuned on Friday. So, if nothing goes bang on the dyno, I'll have time to run it in, neaten up a few things and maybe do a track day or two before!

    Countdown is on! Just over a week to go! How's everyone going? Cars well and truly sorted!? Or are things in a mad state of panic!?

    Car is running. Just minus front wheels and hubs right now.
    I think I have all the bits in the shed, so it's just a matter of bolting it all together, right? Nothing could possiblii go wrong.
    I need a working 4AGE bottom end. Pref smallport GZE, but all others considered. Also complete motors.
    Drift Volvo. Was fun. 2JZ next time.

    92 is all done, just waiting on new rotors and engine mount for the 82 which were promised last week and now promised for tomorrow.


    Hi, me and a mate race our AE82 4AGE and our AE92 4AGZE. Some pics of our cars, we have plenty on this link.
