Right, after a week of absent, I think it's about time to carry on getting down and dirty. The plan was to disconnect the gear box from the engine, pop both of the drive shafts out, then out with the with gear box and finally the engine, sounds easy enough. So we made our tea and got stuck inâ?¦ off come the bonnet, that the bumper and the wheels etcâ?¦ every thing was going well until this one bolt from the passenger side lower arm, that's when we hit a dead end. This nut is though to crack, it must have been muscle on there either by a really strong bloke or an air gun, or just g

Right let's beginâ?¦ right up until January this year the car was nothing but trouble. First the valve stem seals had to be change, so I done a complete head overhaul, with new valve seals, head skimmed, new head gasket and port polish all the essentials. Then after a few months the piston rings needed changing, so dig in to more of the money that I haven't got and get the rings done. By the way I'm no mechanic so all the work had to be done by a local garage and this can be costly. Finally every thing was going good once again... up unti, the bottom end had die on me. At that point I re

Welcome buddy.

Right lets continue with the story, I did some minor upgrade and had purchase a few bit over the last two years. The pictures you will see are not my own, as I never thought I will start a build thread. So I just source them from the net, however I will take some proper one soon. (apart from the last two pictures thats my own) And here are the bits that I have added or replaced since I owned the car; Blitz â?? Sonic Power intake Blitz â?? Boost gauge Blitz â?? Super sound BOV (not fitted yet) Cusco â?? rear strut brace ZEP â?? decat down pipe Greddy â?? T.V.V.C manual

Thanks for the kind word, I will give full update soon. This its just the begining of the story

Hello all you starlet lovers, I've been with this forum for quite some time now, and I think it's about time for me to start a build thread. I'm a proud owner of an mk2 GT and had the car for almost two years. I've got to say the car had seen better days, but bear in mind I did get the car for a very cheap price £1300. Car had a clean engine and very good conduction interior. There it's also a few cosmetic bits and issue that needs sorting out such as; Few small dent on the roof, rust bubble along the boot lid, Different colour driver side wing (it was black, and the previous owne

Iâ??m in of process of swapping my engine at the mo, and some of the vacuum hoses had seen better days. I would like to change all of them to silicone ones, i was wondering its the standard are 3mm and 5mm? Thanks

Hi All, Itâ??s time for me to swap my out of service engine, for a new one. So I can be on road again, for the summer (well whats left of itâ?¦lol) I was wondering its there a step by step guide in this forum that I can use to get me head round. And what kind of tools do I need to get the job done? Thank you in advance ;) . Gavin

Iâ??m seriously considering giving up and try to fix my beloved GT, as I have throw most of my hard earned cash to sort the problem out . It all started of by having the stem seal change last year November, as the car was smoking on idle but not on driving. So I have changed the seals, change the head gasket, head skimmed and new head bolts etc. Got the car back and it still smoking, but this time its worse then before, the car was missing badly, smoke was poring out the exhaust and it almost over heated. So I took it back to the garage and they told me that it could be the oil seal on

Cause of Death... its the one for me. its like watching a US crime drama, with a different episode each week.

so if i was to change all the bearing, do i need to grind the rods as well? someone did say to me that the beraing might melt to the rods, don't know if that ture?

yeah... will try to get round to it maybe over the weekend, also if it turns out not to be the bearing, what else could cause knocking.
