My Rex rebuild

[mikey-t]

Will also be in the market for a decent quality BOV of some sort, what are others using? In the past I have only ever used tial but what else is out there, I\'m no chav and don\'t require a window shattering sound but I want it to do its job properly, so need it to be fully adjustable and tuneable to whatever pressures my system will require,

So come on guys what you running

love that loom quality work.

[mikey-t]

cheers all!
getting ready for a day off and a day down the yard tomorow, got a couple of mock up hard air pipes to :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:ise, riv nutting the intercooler etc in aswell hopefully, mechanic will be there for a hour or two also

did get a nice little package today, came from greece of all places, its a innovate turbo timer, but it also doubles up as a AFR display and mates to my ls2 lambda set up,




also finally found the colour code for my repaint, still purple but there was a specific look i was after.
the painter at work has offered the following at a silly silly low price.

i pay for materials
he will
-stripdown
-full inspection dent spot / blemishes / metal work
-panel gap align all round
-any required metalwork
then he will drop a few deep coats of purple and he same again with some scratch proof laquer




hopefully he can do the car justice and hopefully i can do the rest of the car to match. so yeah more updates tomorow hopefully

Wow well done, takes a lot of Patience to get wiring that good, it will go well with the work on rest of the car :3gears-lh

had the expertise of a good friend getting me through, all your compliments are appreciated, helps get me through the build

[mikey-t]

right so there was a bit of a mixup and my mechanic did not turn up today so i was left alone to work on it, potentially lethal mistake that.

fuelling is pretty much done, teflon an -6 lines for future proofing. only done the engine bay as yet, will run the car like that until the engine is broken in and fully tested and then eventually go braided throughout, swirlpot etc



im not happy with how my painted arms etc came out so will send them all off for media blasting and then go for powder coating. i think black is a little understated also so may go with something a little ........ brighter





started installing the loom, first i tested all the connectors and now i can route the wires as i had planned away from any oil /heat. just as well i did as some of the sensors have died from years of heat abuse, new sensor required here. its the top one behind the water pump housing not entirely sure what to search for as every manual lists it under a different name









wrapped my decat pipe also, the standard clips provided are a bit tat so will replace them with supra clamps when i get a chance.

Here is how I spent most of yesterday.
Hurting today!

Id have unbolted the seat and taken it out personally ! lol!

yes i am a smart a%^e!

VGood progress of late....got a date for fire up?

[mikey-t]

Those seats have been in and out that many times I promised myself last time never again,
No date for start up as yet, I could have it started in about 4 hours but then I would be tempted to leave everything else and that\'s not my style. All or nothing. Plus I go away for 8 weeks this month so I would be rushing for nothing.
Instead I will get my 10 grand for 8 weeks work and come back with treats for the car.

[Hobbawobba]

Must be hard to resist not starting up though aye! Haha. Sounds great for 8 weeks of work :O Mind if I ask what you do?

[mikey-t]

I\'m a tour truck driver, if a band goes out on tour they probably use us to carry all there gear

[Hobbawobba]

Oh thats awesome man! Might have to check that out when I pass my driving test aye! Hahaha

[mikey-t]

Extremely hard industry to get into and takes a certain breed mate.
I reckon I have another ten years in me before it kills me. Hopefully by then I can et into event management / stage managing .

Probably happen before this damn cars finished

[Hobbawobba]

Haha yeah thought it would be. But I hear truck driving in general can be pretty decent for paying the bills aye? Pfft your making good progress bro:Giggle

[merto]

Nice little build you have going there was a good read! If you have some re-am stickers to sell, let me know
