Damnation: The Cynos Project

Not: Just wanted to update on the current situation of things! Right - as the car stands, it currently:

- Sucks
- Burns lots of oil
- Sucks
- Blows

Issues are many, but there are a few that'll get immediate attention, particularly the engine. For months now I've noticed a particular harshness through the clutch pedal, that worsens at faster engine speeds, on which presumption I figure the crankshaft may have suffered some oil starvation damage, but there's no main bearing rattle! So, for that, I will get a new engine and swap it straight out, 4e-fte for now. Doing that, I'll also FINALLY install the C56 gearbox, and swap out the decrepid clutch, which started slipping badly about 2 years ago!

I also hope to buy some 15" tyres in order to finally get my SSR Longchamps wheels on the car, regardless of the fact that I have since slightly gone off them. The headunit will finally get fixed, so I'll have music again, I'll probably get the metal bushes transferred onto spare axle too.

What else? Not much really, I guess, get the Blitz K1 rebuilt, and start buying products in order to safely run the K1 (i.e. a Blow-off valve, finally!) including finally getting the HRF ECU on the car and a base map set, as well as buying more and more components for the 5E - I will also be buying and having machining done for the pending brake setup. Beyond that, just little jobs await, like hooking up the Catch tank and not just leaving it there, modifying the Carbing strut brace to fit, stripping down and tidying up the wiring loom and little trinkets like that. I also really really want a respray...

But, anyway, that's the short of it, so hopefully expect updates of that order shortly!
