Finch Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 I'm still around... and so is the deck! I had a rollercoaster of last few months but she's still here - I actually can't see her going anywhere any time soon either! I looked around recently and theres nothing out there that I actually want that does everything the deck' does and can do. I'm doing some basic maintenance this winter and then maybe new year I'll dump it on its a*s 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Good to see you back bud. I know what you mean about what you would want to replace the deck with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at about 50 different estates, including an Evo9 MR350 estate thing but nothing has really made me go nuts, the Evo was always a pipedream I'm working in oxford so an 80mi round trip a day and an evo (well my lead foot) certainly wouldn't be very fuel efficient I've started building a K26 block but I can't see it going in the deck, I might however build a D16 turbo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Bought a D16y8 block for £50! The guy left everything including the engine loom so I started stripping it today; Test fitted a new hi-flo fuel rail and KC-TBS throttle body spacer/vortex ring which will help with volume when I come to boost the block Also had some AN Lines, Fuel filter, line attachment and flare tool delivered. DPD dropped off an order from HTUNE (Takata 6pt harness & NRG Short hub) Autodoc shipped my ball joints and rear trailing arm bushes. Adam Rafique at RHD delivered a VTIS kit for the deck Got a fair few other things on order too. Lets build a fast Deck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, the guy didn't know what they were worth so said £50 I said I'll be there in an hour! Next step is to order p2p0 forged rods and pistons, ACL full bearing set and ARPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I've got an idea for a coolant catch can/overflow can from a Sapporo can, such a hard task to drink it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Seem to remember someone used a red bull can ( @KiNK43 maybe?) Looked pretty cool, so should be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
