Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
Received an email from Nick at CZP to say my back ordered parts are on the way to them, and that tracking puts them for delivery tomorrow:clap: he's promised me that they'll be shipped out to me as soon as they come in, so should have them by early next week. That's my AMS manifold gaskets, Z1 3" testpipes, Win Factory struts, turbo gaskets, AEM 320 lph fuel pump, exhaust gaskets for myself and a gear knob and JDM Fairlady badge for one of the lads on here. Happy days:thumbup:

Richie's "Blue Thunder" Build Thread!!
So the NA subframe and diff are at the powdercoaters getting shot blasted and cleaned, while its there, I went and got myself 3 litres of 2 pack primer and 3 litres of 2 pack top coat. Hopefully have it back tomorrow so I can get stuck in priming and painting it ready for rebuilding next weekend. Oh, and at the last minute changed the colour from black to red:innocent: if it looks shit, I'll coat it in black:thumbup: Bought myself a new bigger Big Brembo brake upgrade also:biggrin: Got some Evo Brembo caliper brackets made up at a local engineering place, very knowledgeable guys, who do a good bit of automotive custom parts:yes: While at the engineering company's place, I got shown around a few of his cars... 1928 Model A with my son Cameron 1966 Triumph TR4 He also had a pristine Rover "Brass car" from the 30's, an Austin 7, a fully restored MGB and Alfa Sud sports.

Just back from the garage, my Type 2 sits fairly right and with a small bit of pressure is fine on top, but there is a centimeter gap between the lights and the bottom of the spoiler?? Am I missing a seal or something?? Pics..

Evo Brembo Big Brake kit
Right guys, as I've changed direction on my brake system, I have for sale, my full set of newly refurbished Evo Brembo calipers (Front & Rear) with new in the box pads and Evo X 350mm C-Hook discs (Fronts only). Calipers have new seals and dust covers (Front & Rear) and the fronts have new stainless bleed nipples also. The kit comes with the front brackets but I haven't got the rears. Pics.. I've attached my phone no. so you can reach me via "Whats App" "Viber" etc without amassing a huge international phone bill:biggrin:

I might run down to the garage with my one and test fit it, just to see if it was a bad batch, is yours the type 1 or 2??
