Update:
Billet Twin plate arrived from direct clutch services

So I starting removing all emissions gear and vac lines from the intake manifold
And filling and smoothing the intake all up so it ready to be polished up
Should keep me busy today lol
Finishing smoothing and flush fitting the top manifold to the bottom
One Of the 60mm waste gate and dump
Twin tial bov
And last shot of everything mounted up..
All stripped now
Now the fun begins

If you don't mind me asking... How much did the suede and stitching cost you? It looks great.
The whole build looks great!! What are your plans for the car? Track/street?

Well after a long think about the interior Scheme*
I decided you can't go past a super clean old skool factory interior with some modern items.plus you hardly see a mint series 5 interior these days*
So I started searching high and low for
A clean az dash and door trims.
Didn't find to many and the ones I found * *Were ok for a 21 year old dash but weren't mint so the search continued.
Until I received a email from our awesome friend Jesse streeter *saying he tracking a mint cond dash and trims
For a decent price..!!
So money was transferred and the dash and door trims made the big trip from J-land to aus..*
Just waiting for a parcel from the U.S with some OEM trims vents etc

Thanks man ! Yea def cheap lol
Anyways stopped at the polishers to see how everything goin..
Grabbed a quick shot of intake goin through it stages not 100% finished but gettin there
The polishers planing to have most of it done Tomorro
So the engine can be built..
Then stopped off at race and grabbed the turbo manifold,dump pipe, and turbo rear and dropped it off to get ceramic coated
Completely welded inside and out
With 3 EGT sensors welded into each exhaust port runner for tuning.
Tial waste gate flange
Came back to help out Justin from PRO-WIRE with full rewire late into the night
Didn't take pics of the wiring progress yet cause it was getting dark and really cold lol

This build never ceases to amaze me. It's great work here, man. Cannot wait to see what else is in store. Absolutely LOVE the Racepak and carbon fiber holding panel. Where did you get the CF panel made??
And maybe I didn't catch it earlier, but are those dual RE-Amemiya dolphin tails?!

thanks everyone for coments much appreciated !

theres plenty more to come..
the carbon racepak holder is made by haltech them selves and is a extra with the racepak
they arent RE-Amemiya's just custom made ones
well my bits came back from the ceramic coaters on friday night and wow wat a great job did on it super pleased
manifold with EGTs
Turbo back
dump pipe
and also the gearbox arrived back with the OS GIKEN gear set put through it
and a check and replace anything that was worn.
going to mask it up and paint it soon
while i was there i got stuck into reassembling the headlight assembly that i picked up from the painters and fitted up new raybrig headlights.
also picked up my brake booster.
(note covered in dust still from the paint shop)
got started on putting the gold heat foil on...
tricky job thats is lol
still alot to do getting there..
