eBay, contacted one seller with the size of the current Allen bolts and he sent out the equivalent rivets, can't find the seller sorry but should be too much trouble to find

 

Well you certainly did a proper job of breaking the engine haha Glad it's all sorted now though.

You going to TOTB in a couple of weeks?

 

I'm 50/50 at the minute, not sure I want to take the Sunday off work, may just go for the Saturday and bring my boy along - Andy f may not be going... Been offered SLS at knock hill against RCM GS2

 

Maybe see you there then mate

Thats disappointing, but at least it would give somebody else a chance haha

 

My son decided today, he wants to see the man that makes my car 'so fast' race against the man that made my turbo(rcm) haha so we're off to SLS on Saturday 25th��

 

What/Where is SLS?

Here's my Hawk STI Spec D.

Had it since Aug, and recently had an forged engine rebuild by Mark at TD racing, pro drive back box and K&N panel filter fitted and is punching out 307.8 bhp at the flywheel, well pleased!

Sounds and runs sweet now that the headgasket/overheating problems have been fixed to..... what a car!

 

perfect car

 

Cheers dude

Room amongst all these Hawkeyes for my jdm a line ?

 

Nice! Did you get it from Hurst? There is a pearl white A-line on there at the mo, it's lovely!

 

So I moved to Oz just over a year ago now. I've spent most of that time building this.

 

very nice Daz.

 

Daz, that's something special you have there...

 

Yes I was originally looking for a blobeye spec c but went curved ball and got this the pearl white one is a nice car but for me urban grey

 

Thanks fellas, its fair to say this build has been a difficult one.

Getting parts over here is a fairly big deal. Just about everything has to be mail order so you're in the hands of the courier companies and worse still Auspost which is like Royal Mail but worse!!

A good example of this. Injectors that I ordered from Melbourne. I phoned to make sure they had stock which they did and they took just under three weeks to arrive.

In complete contrast ordered some stuff from RCM Friday Afternoon UK time it all arrived Monday Morning here.

The one and only mapping session its had was aborted due to what was later discovered to be a cracked cylinder head (water was pissing out of the exhaust). Could I **** get any here so had to get some from Scotland. Only took 5 days though door to door.

On the plus side it made a tad over 450hp at the wheels at 1.5bar with next to no timing.

Will hopefully get it properly mapped at 2.1bar in the next few weeks.

Here's the graph we managed to get just before the cracked head stopped play



Will update once its tuned properly.
