This looks like its coming along nicely mate, new wheels are much nicer

 

[Mexicano]

I got my rims back from the shop...a friend of mine fabricated a nice set of "spacers" for my new rims; the rims center hole dia. is 73 m.m. and the humbs are 60 m.m., hence an spacer was needed, here some pics:

Now I have to get a nice and good quality of kug bolts and wait until the center caps arrives(not included with the rims :banghead: )

My parts from UK are coming this week!!!!: CatCams, Forged Pistons, Forged Rods, Engine Bearings, 250 c.c. Weber Injectors & 65 m.m.Throttle Body, I also ordered a 3.8 bar fuel pressure regulator(in case I need it ), next step in to get a new cylinder head(core) so I can send it to the US for a port job...any idea of a good source to get a new cylinder head?

Thanks!

Amazing AMAZON.COM !!!...got my wheel lug bolts in a record time!...believe me these stuff is maybe the BEST lug bolts I have ever seen, worth every cent.

Look how nice the look:

 

[Mexicano]

I got this Oil Catch Can:

Here is installed on the engine bay:

Also fabricated a base for the O'berg Oil Filter, It was made of a sheet of stainless steel:

I have to "bend" the lip a little bit more and make some drills for the bolts to hold it from the battery box:

I will keep working as much as I can....

I'm also looking to a set of HighSpec Big Brakes with 325m.m. discs and 6 pot calipers, they cost and arm & a leg but maybe I can save some bucks and get them

 

[Mexicano]

Tha catch can is connected and complete:

 

[Z3RO]

Nice can mate!looks good! I'm going to fit one too we're all waiting to see the o'berg fitted too!!

 

[Mexicano]

Thanks!...I'm still waiting to get my hoses for the filter...maybe in one more week or so.

What's the benefits of the oburg over a normal filter?

 

[Mexicano]

What's the benefits of the oburg over a normal filter?

Much better flow rate
Better cooling because the large aluminum finned surface
Better filtration(60 microns)
It is a serviceable filter, You only buy once

 

[Mexicano]

My Rim Center Caps arrived!!...they are just beautiful...

 

[Mexicano]

Now Installing the O'Berg Oil Filter

 

[Mexicano]

More....

 

[Mexicano]

Just Beautiful!

My god... Druel! Get them on the car and get a video up

Weirdest looking car i've seen in a while! haha great project though you have money burning a hole in your pocket for sure

 

[Fred@BTM]

.in the mean time I will install my SS braided brake hoses, the front ones are easy...but the rear ones not...my stock lines are steel tube crimped to a hose and another piece of steel tubing, I am trying to sort that some how..have some ideas.

Regards

you're looking in the wrong place, look above the axle by the load spring

 

[Mexicano]

That one has been solved...all I needis some time to do it.Thanks!

 

[Fred@BTM]

you only have to replace the short rubber flexible pipes over the axle (about 140mm long, should be in the kit you have), not the the metal crimped ones that go to the calipers

Thanks, I'm going to post some pics of this once I have time to work on it.

Some pictures from the Brake Hoses, I replace them today.

The rear hoses, crimped to the steel tube:

First step was to cut the tube near the rubber hose:

Then I used a bubble flare tool:

A new tube, bent to the size:

The new Stainless Steel Braided Hose:

Need to order another set of rear hoses to replace these ones:

 

[Mexicano]

The front SS Braided Hoses:

And finally, The Quick Shift Kit:

Tomorrow I will take it to the shop to install the new rims and tires...

 

[Z3RO]

[Mexicano]

[Sam]

I like it because its different.

Nice modifications.

Different point of view, mate.

 

[Mexicano]

Ordered today another set of hoses for the rear brakes, a racing clutch and two sub-frames for the dront seats(Bucket Seats), my engine parts from Engine Dynamics will arrive next Tueday but I will be on vacations for 4 weeks....4 weeks out of my car....need a rest

 

[Z3RO]

I like them! I think that with more lowering that would look awesome!
