    Depends on the offer..

    I might get something done on this over the weekend if it rains and I can't do other outside stuff.

    Yeah but I got distracted when I walked past the Lancer and did stuff on it instead. Sunny today so I've got other stuff that has been put off by the rain for a few weeks.

    The nitrous kit is "borrowed" from the Lancer so it's not for sale.

    I am contemplating the sense of a third race car when I have so little time and so much to do.. I'll see if I get sny time to do anything on it over the next couple of weekends and then make a decision.

    I'm going to switch to methanol and not run a radiator

    Jim, swap for some rally tyres on Friday? If you want any other sort of payment, I'll get my mate to pay.

    Made progress of sort today..

    Put in the ex-Jim radiator and swapped it from storage next door to my carport. Fitted a cheapy oil pressure guage to make sure it had proper pressure as it has killed two oil pressure switches.. nothing lower than 60psi with a cold engine so that looked good. Driving it over some bump and lumps shows that the suspension is way too stiff at the back for drags but I have the stock springs that can go in to fix that.

    Then it went downhill... we have been putting one car at the neighbours place as we don't have enough room for four cars, a car trailer, box trailer, parts etc. etc. and they don't have a car. Well they ordered a new car today, when it arrives, we lose the parking spot. So it looks like the decision to can the project has been made for me. I'd prefer it to go in one piece and be used, but the most likely option is I'll pull the good suspension bits out (lowered springs, heavy duty shocks, eurothane bushes here and there etc. ) and the shell will go to the crushers.

    And no, the nitrous kit is not for sale

    I thought you would want the extractors...

    LSD is still going in the wagon, mini spooled diff will be up for grabs if I pull the car apart.

    I think sedan diffs are different to wagons, you might want to check.

    Yeah they are different for the shock mounts. I will be putting the LSD centre in to the wagon housing along with 4.11 gears, easier than making some new mounts on the diff housing.
