Thanks everyone ye was a lot of work to do in a short amount of time and very little sleep. Wire tucking the headlight wires wasn't too bad once you've stripped the wires from the engine loom. You just pull them all Through the bulk head then then push them through the door hole. And along the wing then underneath the light. I had to extend the earthing wires and side light wires to go in with my USDM mod.

Mandatory Japfest picture dump time! Images courtesy of @Shafzzz because my phone is busted at the moment. Arriving at Shafzzz's house the day before. Filling up in London. Dem sidelights. Whilst getting my subwoofer fitted in a carpark because it was dark out. Jetwash! Honestly had no idea what I was supposed to do with the soap broom. On stand next to Krzys (forgot to ask you about the drill, d'oh!) and Snakey. Sunday morning photoshoot with Shafzzz before I headed off home.

i test fitted the mounts as i was excited to see what they looked like! well i loved the colour combo!! the lump went in with a sprot Competition clutch and lightened flywheel, fresh oil etc did a semi wire tuckas i was running out of time and energy to get the stuff done i needed to in the week i had off!! anyway more pictures!!

right so here's a pretty brief and lots of pictures of the progress of what i have been doing. i bought a D16Z6 engine with just shy of 100k on it, but i knew it waas good from the bloke i bought it from. i stripped the parts off of it and replaced: Cambet, water pump and oil pump. i stripped it down and painted it black to go in with my theme of engine bay. i then got my mate Ollie to do the cambelt for me as he knows how to do it i will let the pictures do the talking now lots and lots!!

Painted the rear floor and took the carb apart, had some crap in there, taking it to work to blow out the nozzels and pipes. Enjoy!

Hope that's better for you nick, if not let me know what else you need adding. Cheers man

That's exactly what in using mate. Some of our engines, higher mileage ones though tend not to like it. Hopefully the older chap will be able to shed some light.

sorry got mixed up I'm using 5-40 Fuchs oil just over the winter back to 10-40 in the next service

Pro job

She's a childminder as well 😅

Will update when a get on a computer, don't think I can do it from my phone! And get a profile picture up! Cheers

pic of all the goodies gunna get these fitted ASAP gunna leave the brakes to the specialists so I can have a receipt for insurance purposes Also I let you know how the calipers are but so far they look pretty good for £40 a side

Likewise. Yeah nearer to the end of the show most of us were sat in our boots to watch the track action. Haha no need to thank me, was all good times. I hadn't slept for 30+ hours but I only felt tired when we were stuck in the car hiding from the rain. I was just being shy for the most past. In the brief moments of sunshine I went and actually checked out the other stands. And yeah rain whilst my tail light was out would've been disastrous anyway.

Your car was looking good chap, I was intending to come and say hello after I finished my grub, I think the weather came in again and everyone went into hiding in cars or under brollies again.

Yeah it was 38-39 I think, not quite 40 but close enough!

Using 52 litres then it comes back as 36.77mpg!

Not quite that much, from what I can work out I put in 44 litres Friday eve, then 10 litres and it's just a smidge above the bottom line so probably used 50-52 litres.

It'll apply when she goes over the bits you missed

That's agood mpg mate I used just over half a tank

Good going! I was buzzing on the way out, watching track action or going karting does that to me so anything and everything was fair game the first hour or so going home

Yeah, it'll certainly be different anyway!

thats a pickle did you have the rest of the valves re seated? it it were me i would have bit the bullet and fitted a full set of valves while i was at it :/ hope you sort this before it get the best of you, chin up tools out dont let a machine beat you you own it remeber EDIT; im using 5-30 fully synthetic and use just as much oil as if i were using 10-40

Try it.

Not bad! My fuel light made an appearance at 300 miles! Filled her back up with it reading 320 but only got 44l back in so had more to go! Spent a solid 35 miles with the IAB's open and a fair bit cruising at 80! Think the only reason I made it back was the stint I spend doing 60 on the way down!

PB on the pillars?

Gets brilliant results though!

Now working @NIKH25

accidently pressed post!! my bad anyway last few pictures for the night untill tomorrow when i've fitted the other little bits

so here's the japfest prep!! i got my D-series washer on, the inside of the wings painted, rear badge colour coded, colour coded lip kit (my mate modeling the car aswel, machine polishing prep and me getting off my drive, i have the urge to go lower i have also put 5mm spacers on the back

i've got a great bunch of mates and they helped out a lot!! cracked manifold!! i knoew exactly when that happened as i thought i almost ripped my exhast off ha ha anyway more pictures to tell what i've been doing

i then started to bolt everything on!! skunk2 pro series manifold. i then got the old lump out and started to prep and paint the bay. we got it sprayed in a day and thats primed aswel

Cheers @NIKH25 PB is such a great colour, they all looked great! Day seemed to get away a little bit though, didn't have a close inspection of half the cars I wanted to! Did love the leather though @Krzys!!

Great shots Phil, especially the low ones! Looks sparkling!

Krzys has my vote with his very nice mb

Not sure, going to search scrap yards and see if i can find one that fits. If not i will make one out of a black tow strap with some shinny bolts

Wow, she looks amazingly clean! I really wish I seen this in the flesh

Good to see everyone had a cracking time at Japfest! All of your M's really looked in business! Right... I have now got over my moments and now back on my feet with another car. It have to be the worst car I have ever driven so far. It's a MK5 Ford Fiesta 1.3 (Kent Pre-Crossflow engine) Despite it's a typical gutless rust bucket, it was free! My boss bought it for me to get myself to work, nice of him! I hope to get a Aerodeck sometime in the beggining of next year. I was looking at other Jap estate cars but none of them really tick the boxes. So an MC2 Aerodeck it is! This also means I can keep the remaining parts from my MB3, VTi-S side skirts, spare headlights and all the rest of it. I still haven't even started stripping down my MB3. Now got a lot of catching up to do on here

I know you've put this but could you fill out the details on your profile please chap? Worth checking the vacuum lines mate, could save you some money!

Hell yeah! Lol. Bet the forum will be quiet today though ha everyone prepping!!

You're playing them at their own game, like it!

Yeah I always use to put my can in a jug of hot water
