cheers, she's not bad from a distance, will be getting some more love over winter once I get my actual daily back....lol!
once your engines run in i'd love a spin out in the pulsar ;-) have to meet up for a chatter at some point
there's a lad around Matlock I see regularly with an RB 182 Cup, slammed on standard wheels with white stripes on it. its loud and think I've seen it chuck a flame out
pretty sure I saw you as well heading between matlock and matlock bath yesterday, I was in my Phase 1
@mossyv6 its was Autumn 2009 it was sprayed, so 8 years ago almost exactly!

Yeah, the previous owner, Danny, him and his mate sprayed it in a sort of knock up booth in the lads garden around 7 years ago I'd guess, its not the greatest job on earth and is ageing not brilliantly, but its all one colour and solid now too so I'm happy enough. Not looking for it to be mint...
14-09-2017 Spacers on front Axle
I wanted to get my stud and nut conversion onto the front axle as well having being running it on the rear for months. However the issue was to run the setup I either needed to buy smaller studs or run spacers. Man maths said spacer time!!!

Nothing to report on this currently, she's still in daily duties mode and just cranking the miles currently!
I have collected a few bits for paint over the winter and still need to get the original wheels refurbed in silver as well.
Once I have the RB back I will be able to retire the car for...

07-09-2017 Sunstrip Fitting
Popped over to @dann2707 place to fit new sunstrip, not the most exciting addition but looks much better than the awful attempt I made last time!
I want a box adding to my ktec on the phase 1 and it taking off the 182......perhaps if I take both centre sections to exhaust place they could just chop and weld them to swap!lol!
in theory yes there is a risk as the clip holds the outer joint on the shaft, but with my setup there is no way the shaft could elongate on suspension droop enough to allow the end of the splined section to come out of the CV joint cup. and as the spline is tight anyway (had to use a fairly...
I've had similar issues, I just removed the circlip from the outer CV joints so the outer joint could sit further on the shaft, effectively shortening both driveshaft's.
run like this for 3 years on one side and just done the other side earlier this year and its been fine, done multiple track...
