Thanks Calum, appreciate that! Unfortunately I haven't managed to get the engine in just yet due to working every weekend but I have begun to tidy up the loom in the engine bay and mock up my PAS set up. Also sent my turbo off to Liam for a rebuild and I was over the moon with there service! He removed the internal waste gate and swapped the housing over for one he had lying around 😊 Decided to clean up the intercooler and radiator a little bit too... Excuse the carpet 😂 Cheeky Slr popped into work! Hopefully I can crack on this weekend and get the engine in

Purple for me please Matt

I managed to get a few things done today, I started by fitting the brake reservoir and most of the abs delete kit which I also painted purple as I didn't think the copper would go too well 😂 Unfortunately I forgot to do the union so I'll have to take that off tomorrow! Got all the vac and water pipes in too, and the transfer box bracket in place And now the reason why my shinny rocker cover isn't fitted... I decided to drill out the baffle so I could clean it properly and I'm glad I did after seeing what was inside! Looking like new and ready to be welded back on 😊 And lastly I blew the dust off the turbo kit and separated the turbo so I could get it sent off to be rebuilt

Cheers Flynn 👍 Yeh unfortunately Charlie, rob seems to be mega busy lately! My engine was with him for 3 months in the end

Haha thanks Daniel, hopefully this one gets finished 😂

Thanks for the kind words! Yeh I'd imagine quite a few people would have loved to see it stay a sleeper too but I couldn't resist, I love the look of a Glanza Haha thanks Matt! Yeh I have to admit I did feel like giving up earlier in the year, didn't realise how much work was really involved. But having the engine back now I've got a new love for it and can't wait to be driving it again!

Finally I have some much overdue updates! 😄 New engine & gearbox bushes Got myself a filter kit for the td04, that should do a better job than the mesh I had before! I got rid of the old bushes out the mounts, cleaned them up and gave them a lick of paint before fitting the new bushes Now the peice I'm most pleased with... Carbon fibre bonnet 😄 It's recently been re-lacquered so it should be good to go on straight away Next I thought I'd respray the engine bay while the engine was away being built. So I began to strip everything out and most importantly ditch the horrible abs! Here's how it ended up! Not to everyone's taste I know but it's much fresher I got lots of other stuff painted while it was off too, scuttle panel, wiper arms, various brackets, servo & wiper motor I had to drop some more bits down to rob to finish the engine off and I came just in time to get some photos! Forged Pistons & rods fitted! He balanced the crank, pulley, flywheel and clutch and rebuild the head to standard spec. A full engine spec list will follow! And finally this weekend I went to pick up the fresh engine and began the process of refitting everything Fitted the engine mounting bracket, timing belt cover and alternator I then fitted the injectors which rob had cleaned, rebuilt and flow tested along with the polished fuel rail I also paired the engine with the gearbox and my dad fashioned some brackets so it could be wheeled around on a dolly until it was ready to back into the car Got the polished inlet manifold fitted too although it needs more work in certain areas! Hopefully I should have some more updates in the next few days if the weather brightens up 😊

I had to use parcel monkey in the end, it's a joke from NI though!!

Yeh I know! Jay suggested them to me but that wasn't in my budget 👎

Tbh I haven't really rung about to see if anyone could do the apexi. I had an emb before and like you say no one would touch it, atspeed wanted nearly 1600 for supplying the parts only for an omex! I'm pretty sure redline won't touch the apexi either. I was looking at getting it done nearer you in Norwich but if forgotten what there called now 😂

Who is that buddy who maps apexis?

Yeh that's what I'm hoping 😆 Id hate that right after its built, It'd be costly & time consuming getting another!

My manager thought he could sneak these on the scrap tyre pile without me seeing 😂 I'll put these on my spare set of wheels and use them if I do any track days! There's 2 215/50/15 and only one 205/50/15 atm... He said he'd have a look to see if he could find the other one tonight 👍

Not a great deal has been done lately but the engine has been with rob for 3 weeks now so I'd be hoping to get that back within a couple of weeks! Purchased a few more parts... Purple rad hoses as I had to sacrifice my bottom hoses for my daily Picked up another FPR cheap as mine had a cracked glass & I think the black will suit the bay better than blue And got myself a OEM rear strut brace I need to crack on really over the next couple of weeks... Remove ABS Paint engine bay Fit saxo pump & lines Fit x4 CV boots Swap wings over Get bumper sprayed Fit skirts Fit gauges into dash and get it flocked Fit seats

I'll take the rad hoses!
