Damn, it's been more than a year since posting in this thread - what is everyone busy with at the moment?

I'm busy with some porting on the FE's head, some ignition work on the BB6 and recently finished a TRS Spec A header for one of my clients and forum member here based in Namibia.

Lots of projects lined up for this year and next but more of those as they unfold.

I can't recall if you posted about the modifications here but to the guys reading this, he has undertaken a big job with no certainty it will work out alright.

This is the point though, breaking boundries in the quest for something original and functional.

What's everyone busy with this weekend? I'll be swapping out the ignition coil on the BB6 for a spare and giving the lude a well deserved wash. It's filthy!

Hey Wayne, hope you enjoyed the races. I got around to fitting that coil, PITA to work in that area without removing the air intake etc first.

So this weekend it's time to address a few of my own todo's on the BB6. Going to finally fix that squeaking clutch pedal and check those rear sway bar bushes.

Will also be looking Gynosis's turbo manifold and boost pipes - a few improvements can be made there.

What are you guys doing?
