    Few more bits and pieces done. Wotbox has been a little bit of a hassle; doesn’t want to work with the ECU. So not sure if I’ll be able to work around it not.

    Reassembled the front crossmember and bumper mounts, put in the power steering pump and wired up, radiator fan wired up, fixed a split injector o ring i found out about this morning when I started it.



    Fabricated front engine mount


    Electric power steering pump hiding away


    Terminated ends, switched power in the deutsch connector, that goes into the switch panel inside


    Passenger side bumper mount and backside of fuel cell


    Mismatched radiator hoses, but what was laying around!


    All together


    Annnnd, made these mirror deletes out of a sheet of carbon. Will be making a centre fascia/switch panel out of the same sheet.

    Been a bit slack of late, travelling a bit, then when I’m home it’s always raining.

    Finally got a decent weekend to finalise the switch panel and other miscellaneous jobs. Chucked the slicks on, filled up power steering reservoir and put the car down in the ground. Quick drive around to test the steering under load and all good to report.






    Picked up a weekender/fun car as a non runner, I have got that mostly sorted as well (alternator not charging at present) but otherwise running and driving.

    Another day, another bunch of jobs ticked off the list.

    New battery mount to suit the new lithium battery. Total weight of the new setup 1.5kg vs the previous setup of 10.2kg



    Put a fire extinguisher on the tunnel for quick access, hopefully never need to use it.


    Switch panel finished up. Budget switch box/touch pad.

    Is the tiny battery any good in a daily?

    It’s 500cca, so 1.5x more CCA than the old battery that I’ve used in a variety of daily’s for the last 5 or so years.

    It is a lithium battery, not sure how it would compare to AGM or lead-acid battery in terms of longevity.

    MK3: ADZ to AMK to BWS(R36!)

    And after putting it off for ages. Finally got back to the track today to make some passes.

    First pass ended up being the best.

    11.881 @118.95 MPH



    3.6 swapped MK3 11.88 @118MPH - YouTube

    Go pro suction mount wasn’t cooperating so no in car footage this time around.

    Few little things to attend to, radiator drain plug started leaking. Traction still a massive issue.
