waiting on parts now, useless compnaies. Was promised my clutch for the weekend....won't be here till tuesday. Trying to send back this rear ARB that i was sent instead of the front...guy saying he doesn't accept returns... :lol: we'll see about that when paypal rule in my favour and i keep the ARB the little prik. Few little bits from TPS to grab too.

Pic when we took motor out.

Ecu being sent away tomorrow to check a few codes...

Gearbox finally getting collected for rebuild.

R32 ARB still to turn up

Clutch and flywheel to be here Tuesday.

Will also be ordering a short shifter and some stiffer front Arb bushes.

Bays been cleaned of all oil and rubbish too. Lots done, lots still to do!

Is this one of these Hybrids I keep hearing about

1 prik power... painted the engine all black too...more pics tomo...

shafts rubbed down and painted, look a tad fresher now

engine murdered look... painted the lot black!

hoses and bits and bobs going back on

rebuilding the turbo with new washers etc

Ecu out and off to Jabba, started cleaning the bay up too

new mani in place

and one of how it stands.... more soon

nice the underside of your front bumper has seen better days. What did you paint the engine with?

bumper aint too bad really, front bit the splitter takes the brunt, and the back bit i gave a coat of black because i didn't like seeing the yellow through the splitter. Painted the engine with satin black. Used it on motors in the past. more than upto the job

Brush or rattle can?

Good work Lee again. We still need to catch up soon lad. I have been so busy with the baby though. I've not even had time to fit fmic :/(

ello leigh! that's a valid excuse!

got some more stuff bolted up

clutch and flywheel arrived (fly not pictured)

short shifter arrived too...

Just looking into a LSD as it seems the standard one has **** itself.... ooops

engine looking a bit more back together, binned off excess vacuum hoses and other garbage

On the stand for the sump to be dropped and pick up replaced

wasn't too bad but worth replacing

cleaned the sump of excess crap too

Rusty shafts cleaned and painted

black motor

Needs another few coats then its good to go.

Just waiting on an R32 front ARB which will be here by the weekend, and the box should be back this week so can whack the quick shift on that and get that painted black too

Spare bung for my downpipe to so can datalog the car once it's back and rolling.

Basically before the car was taken off the road it was over fuelling slightly. Jabba have checked the map so it's either a sensor or an air leak, the old mani did have a crack in it so maybe that was affecting it. Either way all hoses have been checked and double checked so no vacuum leaks. Fingers crossed once it's back in it won't need logging!

Good work there!

cheers dude, turns out id cracked the gearbox casing too.... the rivets in the dif broke that harshly they cracked it...so have a second hand jobby on there now, box will be back thurs. all built back up on the weekend with clutch and fly, then just wait for the R32 arb, chuck that on and put it all back together...

Any updates?

progress....

g60 flywheel and vr6 clutch

box back and painted by a pro...shortshift also fitted and painted

undersealed the car whilst it was on the ramp, cheeky bit of scrapage there...

Looks cool but I had to laugh at the " will pay for itself after 90,000 kms ha ha ha

£900..id rather buy a 6 speed box and a dif

Well plenty done lastnight with the boys. Rear polybushed beam and ARB are on! should stiffen things up a treat! snapped a couple of brake pipes but will be putting new ends on those this week and thats good to go.

everythings been treated to a coat of underseal now too.

Engine back in and running in no time at all. Just need a couple of fresh track rod ends and a few odds and sods. It'll be back next weekend fingers crossed getting the clutch run in (probably do a random trip somewhere...)

looking good, what clutch/fly wheel did you go for? Mine has just started slipping so need to replace

went for the sachs VR6 one, read into them a fair bit and seem to be upto the job. G60 flywheel too
