Starlet Nath

Friday nights update Well I had about 20-30 minutes on the engine tonight, I had chance to remove the fuel rail and all the injectors, then I removed the intake manifold & finally the alternator. I'm about ready to start stripping the cam belt etc off, however I have not removed the auxilliary pulley off the end of the crank. Do I need to put the flywheel back on and hold it in place to remove the pulley? Doh... Wish I'd thought of that before I jumped in feet first!!

Tonights update Well got fed up of trying to source some M12 Fine bolts long enough to use with my engine stand So.... I decided to modify the arms to make it fit with what I have Then I finally mounted my engine on the stand Cranked it round to TDC in preparation of stripping down to remove the head, will do some more tomorrow

Well engine strip has come to a grinding halt as I need to M12 Fine bolts to get it on my engine stand Unless I modify my engine stand That maybe an option

I'd be interested in some mate

If they are like other bits they'll be metric fine dude Nath

Nice Pics Lewis Reminds me of Rally GB

Well I spent a little while during today making a bracket to hold the flywheel in place so I could remove it So I thought I would attempt taking off the flywheel tonight which I have acheived I was also going to fit the engine to the stand, however I didn't realise that 2 out of the 4 holes were blind so I will require the correct bolts. I guessed the bolts were M12 fine however we didn't have any at work, but I got M10 thinking they were through holes on the engine. When I came to do it the I would have only been able to fit 2 bolts which wasn't suitable Just so I get the correct on

Not a problem my good man Nath

Cage as in the roll cage? I bought it from Envy Performance. However that's gone now to make way for a weld in jobbie

Well Alex & I spent all day yesterday laying the base for the garden shed But it does mean we can build the garden shed and clear some more room in the garage However we did get time today to do a bit of stuff, we took the gearbox off the engine with a view to attaching it to the engine stand. However I didn't have any bolts long enough to put it on the engine stand for the time being. Plus I need to make a bracket so I can get the flywheel off, tried shock loading the flywheel bolts with a mallet but it didn't work :harhar: My 2 gearboxes, one with a quaife diff and one without!

Got a new toy today Bargain price from Aldi At a minimum it's worth it just to keep the tyres pumped up to roll it in and out of the garage. But it'll have many uses

For those who are too lazy to click on the link for the pedal box, here is a picture. Its a brand new product in the Tilton range, the first ones in the country are due in March and my names on the first one

Just because it has a HKS mushroom filter on doesn't mean I'm gonna use it

That was talked about by us on Saturday, but there are some issues with storage So its going to the scrap man unless someone comes to collect it quick sharp

Cheers Jozman :drunk2: Was good to have a bit of help for once :surrender: Now I have room I can get the bits back out of the shell and still have plenty of room to get round it Plus I can strip the engine down

That has to be the worst photo of me I've seen, but you also let the cat out the bag!! Here's my story, Rob and Andy turned up around 9:15am and by 10:30am we had it out Front cut missing an engine, but still containing a few useful its that needed removing My drive covered in EPs, hopefully it'll be covered in more in the future!! We did it that quickly Rob even had time to change Andy's gearbox cable bushes Front cut looking a little sorry for itself It's that light now Rob can hold it up on his own Rob's calendar pose While we were sorting out the garage we thought we'd

Lewis, People chnage these for something more solid to give a solid feeling gearchange. Some change it for an aluminium bush like TCs kit, or you could change it for a bearing which is the type I have Cheers Nath
