Shit man. Ive spent over $1000 on braided line and fittings!!!!

Theres a surge tank on trade me with heeps of braided line and fittings for only $250!!! The line and fittings would be worth almost twice that alone.

Yeah was just looking at that mite have to be mine i think :) BTW im using a Walbro 392 pump for the pickup from the tank to the surge tank which should be more than enough :) And only cost me $100 brand new with a fitting kit off a dude on SQC :)

Looked to be a good deal that surge tank.
I looked at a Walbro, but they have big current draw and need the wiring beefed up.

I rang around looking for a replacement for the factory pump today. And the Price (trade) I got from Part Master was around $350!! Can get a bosch 044 for that! I can get a good MSD one for $300, from Jap Race supplies, which might be the go.

Man that pricey!!! Cheaper to just get the Walbro and do the wiring. Not hard if u running battery in the boot.

I was looking through Trade Me the other week and found these....

Show Image: Image


I thought all my Christmas's had come at once!!!!!
They are a pair of Work VS 18x9.5's. The same style as what Ive got already but a inch wider :D which means I can run wider tyres than the 225's I have atm. Ill probably go for some 245's or 255's
Thanks to Lunacy too, for picking them up and sorting out getting them down from Auckland. :)

I also bought a new G4 Link computer. :D And Ive got my gearbox cross member and fuel tank back from the engineer. I had to mod the cross member to suit the Mazda box. And Ive had the fuel tank cut down. I had 55mm or so cut from the middle. I did this because it's far to big factory.... I couldnt get my Jack under it!! Plus I think it will also create much less under car turbulance at high speed. Ill put some Pics up in the weekend

It gets everywhere doesnt it.... Have you got one of those long sanding blocks? I used one on mine to help get everything flat. Worked quite well.
Have you got that crank yet?

Yep have got one, they work mint eh :) Its all just a time thing keep filling and sanding til shes totally flat. Hopefully have these bits in primer early this week so i can head to Queenstown on Thurs knowing ive achieved something haha :)
Yeah got the crank Fri morn, thanks again for that looks gold.
Will be dropping the block and bits off at the builders just before i go back to work on the 19th so it'l be all done by the time im home next leave :)

Yes. old school pannel beaters could get it very close to flat and then fill the rest with lead.
