looking good. Did you go with the 1.5 or 2 way lsd? I Havent put my mine in yet. interested to see the results. Some ideas for the block; Weld up the side heater port on the large water line. Ive got mine rubber capped which i regret could fail on high water tempertures. The rear water two port post, cut in half and weld a -6 on for turbo. Change over turbo side oil, water fittings to speedflow parts. The 90deg fitting on top of the oil filter side upgrade for flow.

Where do i start haha been a big couple of weeks. Took the car to the exhaust shop and had the dump pipe adjusted to stop hitting the idle arm. Got the car home and pulled that out and got it ceramic coated black and re-installed, had to buy a racket 11mm spanner to get the v-band on. 3.5inch is very tight around the bell housing. also returned to get the exhaust to stop rubbing on the rear shock.
Dissembled and removed radiator, intercooler, alternator all the other bits so i could see what was happening to the timing belt. Found tensioner spring uncoiled behind the bearing argh...my fault. Removed old belt and marked the cam gears. Long story short.. #OOPS#ed up! out by one tooth both gears and made less horsepower then run-in tune hahah.
Also fixed my brake problem by re-installing the rubber/springs into the bottom of the reservoirs. wheel alignment done, which feels much better to drive. About 1 inch play with the stock steering wheel when stopped.
After the problems with the re-tune had to rip everything out again and fix the timing belt which was out by 1 tooth. Getting quicker at that now hahah. Found turbo side engine mount melting again :( order another and when i re-fitted i wrapped it like a present. fixed some oil leaks around oil relocation kit.
utes getting some 2 link bars made with tailshaft loop aswell so should have it back late next week then power tune time. :))
