Hows your car Graham? finishing end of the year?? I will be down in Sydney end of Nov or early Dec to meet up with Shane and MArk and other IS owners as well.. You coming down??

umm.. i dont like it.. looks like a unfinish car to me... :( maybe just me.... :(

Sydney is 1000km's away so I won't be there.

Car hasn't been touched for a few months. Should get back into it shortly and finish it.

Melburne is nearly there too.. :D .. Hopefully mine is out by next week..(fingers cross)

?uestlove: Hows your car ?

:lol:

Whats so funny? hehe.. taking too long man those mecs...

hahaha, funny man, funny! hahaha.

yeah Che, We are hoping for this weekend, but I doubt it man. Its getting very close. Mech are soooo slow man!

a typical mechs week has 21 days.
Tomorrow means a 3-4 days later.
Soon means "dunno mate"

And "completed" means....."just need to bolt engine back in" :D

True true.. Mech..sigh... Just have to wait ..

Shane: Talked to Motec, they just need 3 days to wire it up.. :o (Mec is taking 3 weeks!)

IS Motor Racing..

"A few hours" = a few hours
"a week" = 5 days
"gtr engine rebuild will take 3.5 weeks" = 4 weeks. The delay was not their fault either B) . They were doing 3 rebuilds simultaneously at one stage. Indy holds the unofficial oz record for a complete rebuild to spec.

they are doing a stroker, port, cams for an evo now.. 1 month they said.. let's see

yeh indy was all bitter(jokingly) that he coudlnt replace my springs
"ahh i used to be able to do them quicker! shouldnt have taken THAT long" and it wasnt that long either!

Talked to me MEc today, by car will be out by FRI night if not he would refund my money back and installation for free.. :D .Thats the deal.. so HOPE this time it works!..

Serran, saw my car today..265/35 with the at rear is sitting on the guards.. i think its a little wide.. 255/40 would be good.. or maybe 265/30..hehehe..

245/40 man!

255/35

Shit CHE!!!! Thats wideee man, I like!!!!

Thats a great deal man! Lets hope he doesnt get back to you by friday hahaha.

My Mech, just called me, and fixed the oil leak on my car, they are still doing the wiing, said, there is wires everywhere!!! So, Im pushing for this weekend, but I doubt it.

heheh..,. Any pic on 255/35?? or 255/40? or 245/40??hehehe.. mine is too WIDE!!If i got camber top then its ok.. but i DONT!. Hopefully mind will be out by FRI and Shane ,you should offer the same deal to your MEC!!!..hehe.. My friends car has done all mechanical work man!!.. just wiring left..Same stage as yours, shane!..

Hope my car is not out on Fri day instead!!! hehehe... Will have my money back and free labour! hahah... Then Maybe i can upgrade up Project Mu BRAKES!!! LOL

just dont pick up the phone on friday...

Dude, by the time it's out, we'll all have flying cars...

:lol:

Good idea, Eric! heheh.. Let me think ..Hmmm... :D

BY the way anyone got pics on 255/35?? 255/40??

Man! That was cold!! :lol:

Che..... ITS ALIVE!!!

Car started first go man! On Standard IS200 ECU!! Idle was good too! BUT (Always a BUT) the fuel pump problem, has arisen!! Graham/Che, take note:

As we discussed, the stock fuel pump, does not have a return line, we put the Supra TT pump in, hoping it will work with this theory, but fuel started coming out of the fuel rail, we are going to block it, hopefuully this will be ok, hook up a fuel pressure gauge, and if its steady, its sweet, if not, we will have to run a return line. But other than that, its FINALLY looking good!!

So not long to go before it sees the road again?

Well lets not jinx it, but hopefully very soon!
