So you know how I said the Sh*tleeka starts from the barrel again?

Well, a mystery problem arose & now it doesn't run...

Started running rough, then it began popping fuses. I;ve never seen a fuse pop so quickly.

So we ripped the loom out, again... or should I say the peeps at the workshop did 'cause I was busy cleaning my current daily for it's sale...

Anyway, things have taken quite a turn. Cam found this Haltech cheap... & the rest is self explainatory 😏

We're focusing on seperating the body from the engine so it'll run how it's supposed to.
The bonus is with the right tune, that 3vz will make closer to 200hp N/A & it future proofs the thing for anything I, should I move it on, others can do with it.

Stay tuned, this is gonna be good 👌

It's taking a lot longer than planned, but it's gonna be good.

Finally it's back in one piece 👌
& it runs from the barrel again lol

So far this is just the "finishing" stage. It's all being tidied up & tested to make sure it's just moving again tbh

Got something big planned but I'm holding off annoucing that for now... it's about 50/50 as to whether or not it all goes to plan at this stage 👌

BIG UPDATE

After getting a loom made to make the v6 talk to the rest of the car, we still couldn't get it to run.
So after ripping the wiring out, only once but very nearly twice, we finally have it running.

It won't pick up the starter relay, nor the fuel relay, so Cam wired a fuel relay & is working on a starter relay this arvo.

What it means is once I have the dash back in one peice, I can drive it... & I am so keen 😁

Then it's reassembly & paint 😏

So should I put a wang on it? 😉

I found this laying around at the shop yesterday & thought I'd see what it looks like... it actually doesn't look all that bad 🤣

& we finally figured out what the problem is & why the car won't start... The car is missing a big bit of wiring in the dash area & I have no idea where the original went or why it vanished but I'm heading up north to see Josef & grab some spares out of the extra shell I have to complete it

Oh if I didn't mention that too, I have another extra shell thanks to Josef 🤣

Which I also have a mad cheap build plan for... either way it's going to get cut up a bit even if it goes to scrap so why not?

I want this thing running next week. Fingers crossed 😁

Happy (belated) New Year all

Got some good news to start off 2026

Was at the workshop on Friday & we've finally worked out that the car isn't getting a trigger to the starter motor. Cam gave that relay power & it fired right up, for about 4 seconds because it's not getting fuel & probably because the intake is poorly reassembled & there would be air leaks.

So far it hasn't got interior lights etc yet & I wasn't watching the cluster to see if the revc ounter works either... but it's almost running again.

I went to get a video but the jump starter chose that moment to go flat lmao

I'll keep you all updated 👍

Well, it's Christmas time again.

I don't have any news except that we're getting closer to having the v6 running again, & by that I mean the daily has temporarily donated it's relays to the cause. The two of them being together did mean that I could get these photos as a bit of a send off for 2025.

This is the two cars, five years apart.

A lot has changed, with one of them at least.

Thanks for all the support everyone.
Merry Christmas

& I'll see you in 2026 👍

I got way more videos than photos but I'm waiting on Gussy to send his GoPro footage before I make a video on it.

So the bad news is actual bad news this time...

Went down to the shop to fit the loom, & it gets no power or anything... We're back where we started almost 2 years ago 🙄😔

Got some photos at least 😑

& I just learned that Facebook does not allow pictures to be attached if you're sharing another status...

Wtf Facebook...
