i found a set of toyota silver top ones, for real cheap so i jumped on them, for now they should do, but if i have issues i can always buy more down the track,
and what is budget? haha yes i have been, so far im about 1.5k out of pocket,

I agree what budget.... So far this month I have replaced all 4 rotors, rear pads, rebuilt rear calipers/master/proportioning valve as well as a service. I thought that the buget for the build was blown, the ownership costs are worse!

Re: Money pit V2.0 Na6 with NB8B running gear, and more.
did some more things today, stripped the silver top throttle bodies down to get them cleaned up, might get them anodized or paint them, im really picky and will not let any part that can be cleaned go into the engine bay dirty,
also received my connectors
well one of them.
im using these just to tidy up the engine bay as-well as make it easier to install and remove the engine if need be down the track, just one single plug, and a few other small cables
Also a great anti theft device, just unplug when you park up and re-plug when you get back to the car

Nice plug as it reminds me what I still have to do with mine. Do you feel like doing another car?

Re: Money pit V2.0 Na6 with NB8B running gear, and more.
Have not been up to much lately, concentrating on studies and a few other things,
however i have started doing the mil spec fire wall plug, and i even bought a second one with a few larger pins for the thicker wires and peace of mind, it is second hand, however, all pins are going to be replaced ( obviously)
also wrapped the wiring is some of that expandable, mesh wire cover, just to keep it all together under the dash and as possible
just been going for drives around the gold coast and brisbane the last few weeks to see people and relax a little
on a side note, found a vvt head straight outta compton ( seriously, its from 'murica, land of the free) should be roughly 300$ delivered, ahha so i dont mind, complete head minus intake which is what i need

You would be correct, oh so correct,
But luckily I have a 6 speed from the nb I bought to strip

can confirm, i took it for a drive on a "private" road, so much flex in the body, doors are a must, but you can notice the weight reduction, tempted to buy cf doors and panels ;)
on the subject, a pillar has now been primered and will be sanded tomorrow in prep for paint and then clear coat
