    So much to do... So little time. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this - Time to prioritise a bit better - Need to get done vs Want to get done.

    I went down to the 6hr meeting the other night and it turned out all three TCCAV teams were filled.

    Soooo.... if a gap opens up I'm keen and have a Sprinter that I'd love to get out on track again.
    I need a working 4AGE bottom end. Pref smallport GZE, but all others considered. Also complete motors.
    Drift Volvo. Was fun. 2JZ next time.

    Oh geez Ian say it ain't so. Doesn't the blue shitter usually just need an oil change and she is right to go?

    Exactly! If you need some inspiration, come and visit the factory one weekend! It's all systems go! Well... Almost go.

    Well, I had a fairly productive weekend. (With the help of Sheppo)

    The oil pressure feed for turbo, low pressure switch and pressure sender got plumbed.
    Fitted and plumbed the boost control solenoid.
    Fitted the exhaust up.
    Ran the fuel pump wiring.
    Finished the main fused 12v cable from the alternator.
    Cleaned up some more wiring.
    Fitted the clutch master and clutch line.
    Fitted the water temp probe.
    Welded a few beads on the ends of the cooler piping.
    Fitted the fuel tank and associated hoses.

    This weekend coming I'll hopefully have the wiring completed, brakes and clutch bled, all other fluids topped up, catch can in and final checks done.
