A bit more work done today, just need 2 3 inch 45 degree silicone bends to finish the intercooler piping.
Will prob do the coolant tomorrow, and wire in the w/a pump.
 
Also, whats the best way to undo the axel bearing cages when they arent on the car? I am thinking rattle gun but I dont have anything that will take the allen key for the gun. Only reason I ask, is because they are bl**dy tight.

well i have been away for a bit over 2 months and the car has just been sitting on the jack stands for that time.
Although, the boss has given me a 5 day weekend this weekend so I plan on working on this thing in that time.
Before I went away, I stripped one of the bolts that hold a hard line to the oil cooler which I have to somehow get in the copious amount of room there and try to remove it, thats my first task, from there I will see how things pan out...
 
Maybe get the dump pipe made up Monday if all goes to plan..

I bought the girdle when I did my build a while ago 316rwkw. Although I paid $500 so that price is much nicer :)
It does also give you slightly increased oil volume as well.
I'd buy it again.

I just read why they are so cheap. I wouldn't bother in that case. Too much stuffing around.

I think the block will be fine without the girdle on that kinda power, but it might make it arguably more reliable.
