Took my fucking

Time.
So is it working yet? What a silly question of course it's not
But i'll give you a brief run down (it won't be) of what has been done/what hasn't been done.
- Went to ECE, learnt Craig was a king amongst dudes, got everything done in a week (it was a lot to do) exceeded my expectations. Will pay to get more cool shit done because......well he impressed the shit out of me, kept me updated at every step and didn't return my car to me as a hacked up piece of shit (like the last place when my first sil went 1j eons ago). I pulled that car down cause of it and never finished that car....recurring theme.
- Got held up (again) by a joint that has now lost my business to another workshop that doesn't specialise in 1uz gear. So far they actually want to talk to me for more than 5 seconds on the phone and don't suck ass at returning phone calls or returning emails before the apocalypse (i would like to finish it 5 minutes before shit hits the fan). This is helpful as i'm at the stage of lining up somewhere to wire in my ecu and dyno it so as you can imagine i'm that annoying dude who asks a bajillion questions before i book anything in.
- Bitched and moaned out the ass about it after months of it just sitting there and having to pull the 1u out - gearbox and all to weld the bay up and paint it (i'm at filler stage now). This was actually my fault to begin with so i only have myself to blame......but i'll probably moan about it more later cause i can.
- Nearly sold it all for the second time.....but too many dude's who raised interest in the EOI i had put up just wanted to run it into the ground at Matsuri - this i could not allow. At the same time as putting the EOI i looked at a 180 that had quite the drag rep back in the day, unfortunately TIME has not been kind to it and hasn't been run in quite some time and would require a bit of work to get it to the same stage mine is currently at.

Stay a while and listen
Where do i start....i'll put it in point form, because 1) i tell shit stories and 2) i used to waffle on a lot - straight to the point and skip the boring shit.
1) Got a job, its mint, been there for 7-8 months now.
2) Sil is no longer 1j - i'll explain more about this later
3) Has gone NA
4) Gotten well and truly over drifting in Aus
5) Next to nobody knows of what i'm running next, unfortunately my cover may have been blown by the time i write this (fuck)
6)It's not a yank v8, next person who asks me will have their face introduced to the back of my hand
7) Build quality is #1 - Won't see the road until i'm 100% happy with it
8) My lose of interest in drifting has been replaced by sprints.
And something you should remember for next time you're outside,

Temple of Doom
Off ziptied

FUCK THAT
2.30 - totally thought shit was getting real...oh well.
On another note the sil is being rewired, apparently i have the worlds worst luck with work and am now looking for more for the third time this year.......recession and dickfaced bosses can suck lick my sack....so yet again everything stalls (beyond a joke now) and things i planned on doing in the future are now being done now cause....well i'm fucking bored and it shits me sitting there.
Relocated the engine fusebox+loom both sides to under the dash/behind glovebox - made a sexy plate that bolts to the pedal bolts (for US 240s) and headlights etc are being extended out while the rest is being shortened and plugged and will be accessible from the centre console if things every break etc and need sussing out.......slowly coming together and should look pretty good once its done (i hate janky built shit)
Heading to WTAC tomorrow, mega keen....and hopefully i'll find some luck on the way back through and get a job soon after i get back....crossed fingers, balls, toes, eyes and everything else

snakes on a wang
Sil has had zero done to it, might have a new home......then something that rhymes with purple dress might happen.......might.
Decided (well actually we've been talking about it forever) an 'at home project' was needed.....since my driveway is the fucking himalayas and RUNNING cars have trouble getting up it.....whats wrong with digging the hill out before you build a house......or dig a tunnel with those cool 'kids handyman/boy/lad' kits you get in showbags from the bloke with the chewbacca hands. Then bury some explosive shit and hide behind the letterbox......everybody has fun and future moans and get f'ds are avoided due to the ctrl+alt+del on mentioned ridiculous mountainous driveway.
^^^ this above shit takes 5 minutes in Minecraft with loud music distorting your thinking patterns and not even gunpowder to make tnt, so i say again....how hard could it be?.
Anywho
I'm rambling
So short story long, Joe hooked me up with one of his old bmx (he has a muesum of them) needs a seat, chain, grips and new tyres then i'm going to practice acid drops off peoples roofs, out of trees and possibly a backflip onto a moving city cat or driftwood.
Something i prepared earlier -

Stardate 101.1.2
So after what seemed like 1000 emails and phone calls back and forth of the last few months things have finally reached a conclusion. Turns out the sil has been complianced for some 8 or so years now but its plates and accompanying paperwork either never found their way onto and into the car or went missing some time in that 8 years.
Anywho......it means compliance isn't an issue now which is kinda rad so it means that the order is more or less - bay spray, engine drop, engine wire in, other random shit, rego, enjoy......or something to that effect.
Nothing else much has happened....had to make a bracket up for the handbrake cause i run r33 gear in the rear....was a real a hole but fixed now and got a job so hopefully things keep slowly grinding forward.
Peace out

Hold on my turn mf from hell
What?
Got some work done today, hoping for much of the same tomorrow and maybe wednesday, then work the following two days.......cause i just love making pocket change at times convenient for everyone but myself....hoping for some good news this week or next in that regards.
Anywho
Bay is stripped, wiring is (more or less) finished - couple plugs will have it done and dusted and cooler has been dummied up, was hoping running a 450 core would mean i could just sneak pipes in either side without having to cut but alas it was not to be....at any rate it will look super neat and i highly doubt our lovely law enforcement will even bat an eyelid........especially with yamaha and toyota written on the top of the motor :P
PICS OR BAN!




Last pics show where the loom used to come through and where it will be coming through after everything is back together. Real estate is a little tight up top on the drivers side since i'm running the factory CT12 twins but the loom will duck down far enough where heat won't be an issue.
Bay spray is now on the cards, still haven't heard whether the 'other' things are a go or not.....not much can be done without steady dollars though.





Update whenever
