Tick Tock....

Today I made a little bracket to mount the fuel pressure regulator on. The bracket looks kind of stupid (might make it look a little bit cooler) but the little pressure clock looks very funny. Kind of like the motor is a bomb :D Anyway... just need to buy some fuel lines next to finish the fuel part. And next on the list is the intercooler. That's going to be an interesting project because I'm going to flip the intercooler upside down and I need to make a cowl for cooling hoses. Oh, and a stand and bracket to attach the intercooler to the engine. We'll see.... Here are some pictures. One of the fpr and one of the wheels again, because I think they just look so cool.

I've got Wheeeeeels!!!!!

Yesterday I made a little roadtrip to collect some wheels I bought on the internet. And today, while the sun was shining, I put them on my car. And man, am I happy. :D They are 17 inch Cup 2 7J ET55 on the front and 9J ET55 on the back. They're not very spectacular or anything, just nice neutral big a$$ wheels. The front needs a little skinnier tires but they are mud and snow tires so I need to buy new ones anyway. And they weren't expensive either so all in all a good day. Oh and bought on of those folding spares too. Little downside on today.... I had a good look at what I still need to do on the car. And it's a lot!!! But for now I am enjoying the pictures.

Yes, that's a lot of rubber.

To give you an idea on how big they are.... :D

Pay less get more....?

Bought some stuff on eBay for the engine. Have got a big list for more stuff but for now I'm the proud owner of an underdrive pulley, a fuel pressure regulator and a silicone coupler for the intercooler with some clamps. I'm on a thight budget so it's all on the cheap off course. Well, after taking a good look at the underdrive pulley I was kind of wondering why the grooves looked so strange. In a sense I got more then I payed for :D The grooves weren't finished or something like that so I decided to just put the pulley on the lathe and go to work. Guess it looks a lot better and even with the work the price was still good.

Left how it was and right how it should be....

Some nice stuff to put on the engine, but off course there is something else to do first. (making money that is... :D)
