Well seeing as I am offshore and have the day off time for a little update

White shell sold

Purchased

MD321T which is being sent straight from the seller to Lateral for a billet compressor wheel :)

Managed to pick up a set of pretty much brand new disks for the AP's to replace the old warped ones

Purchased Exedy twin plate (probably overkill for what i need just now but future proof)

Home on Jan 15th for 3 weeks so plan is strip the engine and all the drive train from the P1

Send PPG box away to be rebuilt into my DCCD box

Fit full R180 drive train and rear brembos minus box

Rebuild 2.1 with the Big port AVCS heads (after I calculate the CR)

Install reversed inlet and billet fuel rails with all fuel lines

Plus all the other daft parts I need and hopefully get it running

Have most parts so no reason not to get on with it :)

Nice one Ciaran, what setup you got in that sump?

Rich

Full baffled sump with fancy flappers similar to what lateral performance sell

The sump came from a car which recently did a lot of laps around the ring with no issues

Engine in
