    Conti timing belt kit, water pump, all radiator hoses, thermostat, new behr radiator, ordered rear rotors and pads. Old belt looked fine....but almost seven years of age on it. Was due I suppose. Maintenance before mods!

      Broke (hopefully) the shifter bushing. Can't wait to drop the exhaust...

                Cleaned off the majority of the cosmoline off the intake manifold. I'll finish it off with a nice pressure washing to get into the smaller areas.

                      Replaced my SI board batteries and soldered in new inspection and oil lights on the LED board. Now everything works 100%

                        Haven't been able to post a couple pics up until now as I haven't had a phone line/internet for about 5 weeks due to storm damage and the utility company taking their sweet arse time to repair the damage.





                        But done with the mounting bracket for the tilton pedal box. Only thing I think ill add is a brace between the angled sides to make sure its not going to flex anywhere and to give me something to mount a brake light switch off and some clutch/brake pedal stops. If I manage to experience any flex in this ill be able to squat a small house, but now ive got things sorted as far as fitment and location goes ill remake it in 3mm plate. Used the factory mounting positions for the OEM pedal box to keep the engineers happy here (no drilling, original bolts, positions in the firewall, etc), but a but of a tight fit around a RHD steering column and its location of bolts and existing dash brackets I didn't want to cut into or remove (they get a bit upset when you start modifying the firewall or dash bars here).
                        Just a little project im working on
