May be a bit of a sensitive question but how much do you reckon you have spent on your car already? And what do you estimate the final cost to be?

sorry mate, it dont come down to cost, it comes down to haveing something that only 2 or 3 guys in the world have and at the end of it when you sit back and look at the IS when its done knowing you made IS200 V8 :D,

over the past week i have been looking at flywheels and clutches & hydraulic bearing assemblies,

I got a PM of one of the members on the V8 site that i go on, that was useing the same gearbox as me (R154) but he is now going to use the V160 (think he said) and he ask me if i would like to buy all the parts he has :) so i have now got all the bits comeing from him, flywheel + Quarter master Twin plate clutch and Bearing assembly :D

:crybaby: the guy has let me down, he PM,ed me over the weekend and said he would be keeping the setup he has now. so the items i was geting of him are not for sale now :tsktsk:

get Xmas out the way and start looking for a new setup....

I forgot all about this build, I'll be honest I'm glad to see that you are still working hard on it mate...must be about what, 3 to 4 years you've been working on it I would think? Should be well impressive when you get it finished!

Hi mate, no its only been 2 years, but like i said before its been hard going as i was out of work for 9 months of them 2 years, + my bro was in ICU for 6 months, so things got put to one side. i have only in the last 2 or 3 weeks started to get some work done on it,

but im in no rush, :winky: (just as well lol )
