Motors out, awaiting a sump upgrade about to pull cams out and get them up spec to something around 270 and between 9-9.5mm lift (seems to be about the max can get away with without pulling everything to bits to clearance everything) will prob sand engine bay back and have a go at painting it with actual paint instead of its current rattle can black.

Finally starting to get started on TiGn up my intercooler piping, been practicing a wee bit the last week or so and finally got the welds looking good enough for now anyways.

So iv moved house with my mate and as a bonus there's a pretty sweet shack out back. I bought myself a hoist off a mate who was selling one cheap and this has given me some motivation to do some work on the 510, I started making a custom super tucked rear section of exhaust with stainless pipe & lobster technique. Happy with the result for my first attempt at such a task

Good shit mate!
Does this mean we'll see this machine dooorting this summer? Drags perhaps? Or maybe the Rakaia cruise? These datto's need to be used!
