But once this is done it'll be good to max out the KO4's potential and be ready for BT applications.

Just now I'm tearing my car apart for various reasons.
This is how I found it at 10.00 this morning.
Not too sure how many of you know there is an option for uprated drop links. These are HD ones that are built better than OEM ones. Not too sure how much benefit I would feel with them but better is better.

First is to tear out the front end and see whats what there.
My Forge FMIC has been fitted for about 6 years.
As you can see I went a bit OTT when I tightened these the first time, must have had my porridge that morning.
Might have to speak to my good mate Tony to borrow his spreader thingy ma jig.

This is my current set up.
I have a spare near side light and plan to make a head light induction set up for using on the track.
I have a light weight battery which I plan to have in the OEM position but low down. I also have a 45* 80mm elbow to bring the cone to directly behind the head light. Where the OEM air feed is I'm going to maximise this and run other feeds from the fog light holes. I hope to be able to either have a quick disconnect front bumper or find a way to make the head light quicker and easier to remove. I might just leave off the lower 2 bolts and run with only the upper 2 for the track?
Next up was to remove the crash bar and FMIC.
With this off it was full speed into taking the crash bar off.
I had hummed and hay'd about the air con but thought, **** it and decided to rip it out.
I've read a few different ways of removing this, I did it the rough way.
So to get the air con rad out the whole slam panel needs to be removed as its mounted from behind.
Viola!!
After serveral hours of tagging and disconnecting I left the car like this tonight.

So, for all the picture hungry.
I decided to remove the engine and the gear box in a oner.
With this out as an assembly I was VERY eager to see what sort of condition the turbo was in.
Thankfully all seems fine with it. So for a 108,000 mile turbo it seems like it'll take a tgood beasting as long as you feed it well and do the warm up and cool down cycles correctly.

The main reason for initially removing the engine was to remove the brake master cylinder as it has a broken bleed nipple in it.
This was in a really difficult place to remove and the other one was really stiff too so decided to whip it out.
The main issue seems to have been salt and corrosion building up around the thread of the MS.
The new one I'll coat with some soret of water proof grease so this doesn't happen again
With the engine out and after seeing how restrictive the Air Con rad was it was a no brainer to get rid of the whole aircon system.
Look no pump
It not hugely heavy but its all extra weight.
I'll remove the dash and get the whole inner gubbins out too.
I seem to be finding any excuse to rip stuff oput just now :evil:

So with the front end sorted out and being on the ripping the car apart buzz I thought...now for a bit of rear end action!!
The rear bumper was damaged when my wife stopped outside a shop and forgot to put on the handbrake.
My car rolled across a road and knocked down a wall GGGRRRRR!!
You can just make out the damage in this shot past all the dust.
I didn't realise it was such a PITA. It's almost worse than the front bumper.
With it off it was time for my little helper to get to work cleaning up beneath this to see whats what.
Some small patches of rust.
All these places will get the same treatment as the sills did, buffed to bare paint, Krusted, under coat, top coat and underseal.
This is a strange one?
I've come to the thought that this car can and will be a very long term project.
I have lots planned for it and the small amount of rust chasing should pay dividends in the future.
