Bit of an update on how things are going.

My brothers rally car has sucked up some of my cash, as well as upgrades to my computer, so I'm not going to be grabbing the rose-jointed front end for a while yet (although I'm going to try to work a bit during the mid-semester break to get some cash).

I've had bugger all time to work on it, I'm tring to neaten the engine bay up so I'm getting a few things coated/painted and I haven't got around to getting the alternator cleaned up (requires me getting the housing off of it, which requires a press). Anyway, it's slowly coming along, hopefully during the mid semester break I'll have time to figure all this crap out!

Btw - is it worth powder coating anything in the engine, or will it tend to melt and fuck up? I guess high temp enamel is a better option? If so, are spray cans any good or should I get some more exy stuff and use an air-compressor spray gun?

Oh yeah, also I picked up a new power steering pump and I got some re-seal kit for it as well so now I should have full engine-wide oil retention Smile (50 bucks says the gearbox starts to leak, somehow, just to piss me off - still it would give me a good reason to replace second gear synchro)

Plus hopefully my EGR gasket has come in finally (can't get replacement ones, need to get genuine from toyota for like, 25 bucks!) so my engine bay won't turn charcoal gray after five kays.
