Just gave the OS Giken twinplate clutch a bit of a clean and tidy up.

Hoping to nail the rest of the fuel system this coming week or two.

Crossing my fingers for a start up in about 2-4 weeks time. :-)

Are you going to clean the paint off around where the bolts go through to hold it? They'll squash most of it out of the way anyway, but they'll seat better with clean steel under them. It's a nice shade of pinky/purply :-) Influenced by your lady's car by chance? :-D

Yeah, I remember, I was just teasing re painting an invisible part at all :-)

Are you using a kevlar flywheel guard? I tend to take anything between the crank and gearbox about as seriously as brakes and suspension because the consequences can be pretty dire.

From an appearance point of view it will probably cause more to flake away and crack/whatever when you torque the down, if you've not cleaned them first.

Good to see that it's getting nearer :-)

I decided to ditch the tank that I built and run an alloy fuel cell in the boot. I also ended up ordering an 044 pump.

I also have on order one of these - http://www.mrpltd.co.nz/product/284/w5x ... 4-tob.html

I have a vast collection of parts awaiting fitment.

UNI will almost be over for the year soon and it will be back to lazy days at work, lots of time spent on RavAGE and lots of time spent working on this Corona in the shed! (probably lots of beers will be consumed too)

Finally sorted the turbo manifold out and have it where I want it for now.

Ordered some header wrap, turbo beanie and other assorted oddments.

Boot modifications for fuel cell install, etc to come!
