Sounds like 5 pretty good reasons to me!

Yeah, I felt compelled to leave mine on till I'd fucked the tyres...

Hated every second though

I found some time yesterday to do some work to the car.
I fitted a new pair fo front lower control arm with nolathane bushes. I had them sand blasted & painted gloss 2pack at trade school the other week. I also fitted a Whiteline 24mm sway bar. Pedders fitted 12mm camber bolts too. I also put on an ET rear sway bar.

All this was done so I could fit my new rims & 195/50R15 Yokohama
S-drive tyres.

Next thing to do will be an ET disc brake rear conversion.... Stay tuned.

Android, I dunno if the rims are 3 piece. All I know is that they're Japanese.

As stated in another thread, http://forum.n12turbo.com/viewtopic.php?t=6298, my timing belt tensioner went last week. So, last saturday was spent fitting a timing belt kit.

Result, no compression.

So, this w/end will be spent starting on the turbo conversion.

Progress has been a little slow.

Started work on rear disc conversion, then found all the seam sealer in the rear wheel arches falling out. Tube of seam sealer & some brush on sound deadener were applied. Just waiting on the cash so I can get braided brake hoses.
ET fuel tank fitted too.

Before:

Brakes going together:

After:

Today I ripped out the N/A engine.

Here's a few pix of the turbo engine.

Looking at that head, i would say its a Jap domestic head. Whats the part number cast into the front left next to the head bolt? Also, the number cast into the cam vally?
