Hey guys - sorry for my lack pf updates! Tristan has undergonea staff change which put pressure on the completion date, originally due to be early June, htough now expetced to be mid-September, with Marcus now in tow (ex-Porsche and Bentley mechanic);
SO, to the updates!!
Thus far:
Currently we have:
Fitted motor, modified exhaust manifolds, intake manifold etc to suit, fitted intercooler, fabricated intake pipes, 90% wired in engine computer. These are some of the most major and time consuming things out the way
outstandings are:
Fit driveline components (driveshafts etc), connect remaining hoses and fill fluids
Wire in gauges and finish off remaining engine computer electronics
General engine bay finish-off tidbits
Fabricate exhaust system
Dyno tuning
Air conditioner line adaption
Also, whilst she's in there I'm having TRD sway bars and full suspension set up installed, a brake system check and balance, some cosmetic bits (TRD steering wheel, TRD dash mount gauges in three-gang pod) and some clearancing camber/castor fiddling to make her perfect. :) Can't bl**dy wait...
Some pics then....
Engine Mount:
V6 turbo installed, though turbo still only in mock up/dress rehearsal; will be cleaned and spruced prior to full shebang...
Looking forward to it now like, though have been a lot more delayed than I would have otherwise liked, I trust Tristan and the delays were unavoidable as I understand it, so here we go...
