well, after 6 or so weeks my gt-s is finally back on the road!
after thinking the HFH or HFHOE was the cause of my water leak and after replacing the little bastards,
it became evident that my waterpump was actually stuffed causing water to trickle out through the weep hole
after sourcing the waterpump it soon became evident that the cambelt and tensioner pulley's were also looking a bit tired
so after sourcing all of that, it turned out that my alternator was actually from a celica or somesuch and i needed a new alternator
luckily lucas was kind enough to go out of his way to source an alternator and to finish off the massive task of fitting all the new parts and getting the car back to it's former glory
also got some sweet lowering springs from another club member and got my el cheapo wheels fixed
some pics:
again, a big thanks to lucas for making a plan!
bring on hampton downs!
finally back on the road!
