Yo, long time no update.
Haven't had a lot of good luck lately with the old girl. She sat for months without a wof. I decided to take it to my dad's friends workshop and basically got laughed out of there cause he couldn't even fit his shoe under the car. Got one in the end from somewhere else.
So I was driving, blissfully unaware that the diff axle bolts were working their way out (note to self/everyone: use loctite). Lost 2 of them. You know the little bracket washers that sit behind them? One of those came loose. The car started making a banging noise from back there. I wasn't too far from home so I babied it the rest of the way. Got it up in the air, and the bracket thing had been smashing against a fuel line

, which was now pissing fuel out.
So it was off the road for another few days while I decided what to do. Ended up shortening the line (routed better than factory now IMO) and joining it back together with flare fittings.
And then my diff fucked out

was leaking oil out the front seal, and making a clunking noise that increases with speed. Replaced the seal, still gotta suss the noise or find another diff. It does still seem to drive fine and still locks up etc. I'm no diff expert so I might just make it someone elses problem. For now i'm just running the ole torsen. Glad I kept it now
On the upside, I bought the 1JZ out of Mike North's JZX90. Just gotta suss a turbo for it (or find some factory twins, anyone?) and then it'll be going in
