Hey all. Guess whos back from the dead!! I finally have acsess to a puder again so i'll be dattoing on the net some more!! Well do i have a 1200 for u guys. Shes almost complete but still quite a few bits and peices to go. For the last 6 months or so i've been rebuilding the rear end. All new springs lowered 2.5", koni shox, all new nothelene bushs and a fat bog warner LSD with skyline disc's and calipers. Got a new 7/8 master cylinder with all new brake lines front and rear. It really pulls up quick. I was suprised the first time i really hit the brakes, i nearly went thru the window!! Enough of the stoping stuff and onto the go stuff. Just bolted back on the head after getting it cleaned up and shaved again. Re-studed the head and bolted the webers and extractors back on. The bottom end is still rock solid and passes the power thru a light fly and a 5 speed sunny box which i had rebuilt. I ran the car for a few days with the LSD in before i blew a head gasket and it was hammering. The gasket blew because of a in-accurate torque wrench. I have since invested in a brand new one and every head bolt is now at 75ft pound. So no more head gaskets!!! The LSD made a huge difference to the cars handling and sideways factor. 2nds are just an absolute blast! And doughnuts are even more fun now!! Now all i have to is get some new spark plugs, new oil filter, new oil, hook up the fuel to the webers, a fuel tank and a handbrake cable. The interior is pretty bare to. It has a crappy dash, 2 old skool recaros and a shifter!! No carpet, sound proofing, rear seat or any plastic bits and peices. Other than that the 1200 rocks! Hope the engineer will be happy when its time to get it regoed, if not, thank god for trade plates!!

Over and out
