wow almost 2 months since the last upload! My last post covered the upcomming Melbourne cup weekend with 5 days off of work to smash out some progress. Thursday night before the weekend a massive storm rolled through and dropped trees on powerlines everywhere. Unfortunately we were without...

Thanks Matias Yeah 3D Printer has been great to get mock up brackets. I wish i bought it sooner to make myself a header building kit. the 3d printer lately has come in very handy to start organising my tools flap disc storage: Carpenter pencil storage Although ETA was getting smaller i...

That trellis looks amazing, nice work

How do you find the new silent compressor?

another 2 weeks :eek: Last weekend started tearing apart the recaro sportster cs's This is slow and time consuming process but relatively easy until you strip the allen bolts :ROFLMAO: All that work to just to remove the side airbag, replace the cover and change the recline adjuster...

Another weekend or two and a bit of extra progress Progress on the passenger side headers until i ran out of bends Seems to be a delay on shipping lately with strikes so hopefully new bends arrive before the weekend. I recently achieved the ripe old age of 33 and decided it was time to invest...

Ended up taking friday off to smash out some more exhaust fab but things never go to plan 😁 I wasn't 100% happy with my merge collectors, since moving the engine forward i have enough room to fit a large merge instead of straight pipe Y's i merged. A questionable safety jig made for the...

haha where do you think i got the toolbox idea from? :ROFLMAO: i was browsing your thread :ROFLMAO: i considered asking if you would consider selling yours but thought it'd be rude :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Loving Bandsaw life so far! much more calming and zen; Seeing the bandsaw choke on some steel...

another 2 weeks and sadly 2 steps forward and 3 back Spent last weekend struggling to get fitment of headers. Made the decision in the end that i need to move the engine forward more New dayco water pump + AC test fit. Sanden SD7 compressor on a holley mount This is the smallest and tightest...

Slow progress weekend but started on the hardest side of the exhaust manifold Unfortunately i need alot more clearance than that My flanges are 12mm thick which is excessive for 304 stainless 6mm is more than enough, grinded down to about 8mm for the moment Slightly ovalised the bend +...

Cheers to my stunt double! :ROFLMAO: Not sure if it's the drugs or way too many Matt's on this forum but that wasn't me haha No doubt the thought crossed my mind, my work is not too far from your hospital holiday destination. Good to see your on the mend!!

It's been a few weeks thinking but i decided to cut my losses Dropped the bandsaw off at the tip :( just kidding Dissasembly Primer 1 Slight intermission to shorten my welding table and add some storage underneath Primer Bit of an...

You've absolutely been cracking on the projects Takai! loving all the organisation!

After some hours slaving away at the late & a trip to the shops to pickup some new drill bits, a new reamer and fresh belt Finally setup and ready to go It runs! 😁 Went to chuck up a piece of stock and...wait a minute... Blades running backwards.... Motor wrong direction..... reversed...

New tool purchase Bandsaw Not a stellar deal but only one on marketplace within distance and didn't want to wait for new models to be in stock (hindsight says wait) Advertised as good running condition, home use, 1 owner Ran on pickup when i handed over the cash Saturday morning i start...

Thanks Hardtop! 100% right Old cats sold for $600 , new cats being delivered today Time to order some more parts to prepare for the next Melbourne lockdown :)

Three weeks in a row! Finally received 3 of 4 28mm pistons to assembly one of my front calipers Time to swing this engine in for extra mock ups Few more problems to tackle I've absolutely screwed up my steering shaft situation. Turns out the E46's have much less misalignment. This U-joint +...

Start off last weekend with a new tool purchase! Cordless makita die grinder, it absolutely rips! much nicer to use than air die grinders, the tool senses when your bit's smashing it's way around and stops to stop you hurting yourself Started making a cover for the brake bias valve...

Another 2 weekends of work on the LS E36 After assermbling the LS i remembered i forgot to change the oil pressure spring on the oil pump. I have a melling high volume + pressure pump. The high volume is neccesary to prevent cavitation at high rpm but i don't have the correct clearances for the...
