bit of an update.. new engine and box is sitting in.. most datto lovers will hate it but meh, its my car lol..

S4 13BT, bridgeported, dowelled, all rebuilt with SCR seals etc etc, running a GT42R turbo, 1000cc primaries and 1600cc secondary injectors.. Ford toploader 4 speed manual gearbox, vertical gate shifter, liberty straight cut gears and sliders, DCS Billett twn plate clutch..

Engine made 300rwkw on only 14psi on pump fuel!.. ill be upping it to around 22psi and either E85 or meth and try to crack 450rwkw!.. should run in the very low 9 sec et's with that power.
The front seats are gone as they didnt work well with harnesses, so i have a set of kirkey alluminium race seats on order, ill be getting covers made for them to suit the rest of the inside.. also ditched the front convo pros as they ended up being the wrong offset (Duh!) so i have a set of 15x3.5 weld allumastars in black ordered, should look pretty sweet..

Not a great deal to update.. spent yesterday putting a new turbo on a mates SR powered S13.

Local swap meet today.. managed to stumble across 2x 1200 sedan rear bumpers, $30 each.. managed to take both home for $30! haha cheering.

Swapped my struts left to right and fitted up my brakes, they look pretty sweet and the wheels only just clear them which im pretty happy about.

few goodies turned up today!.. was like a kid at christmas

Have 99% of my fuel system now, just need a y-block and a couple of adaptors, then get a stainless piece made for my pumps and surge tank to fit to.

Also got my new clutch from Drew @ Direct Clutch Services.. looks fantastic and i hope to deal with him again in the future

couple of pics-

Also ordered some genuine flywheel bolts from the local mazda dealer..

So this weekends work will include, pulling engine and box, fitting flywheel and clutch, fit brake lines, refit engine and box, cut hole in the inner guard for the turbo to fit. And upon further inspection i have noticed that because of how low it is the tailshaft will foul on the shaft tunnel... so ill be cutting it out and making another one
May also get the fuel lines fitted up
