It's madness I end up giving parts away to help others in need out.

Yeah I'll stick with it love this car to bits I could rebuild it my self but I don't have anywhere clean to do it so I'll send it away it's not had an easy life with me I do kick it's head in. No point giving up now to deep financially I'd never get back what I've put into it. Gives me change to tidy up the bay while the engine is out.

Well managed to get it all buttoned up and took it for test drive still leaking oil. Took the sump off to re seal it and greated by quite a bit of metal in the oil not cool. Think I've caught it early but something has defo gone though the engine took one of the mains off. It has marks. Plan of attack is to get the engine out chuck it in the back of the lexus and drop it up to tuning developments for a rebuild. Made a start at taking it out today but need to drain the coolant and purchase an engine crane.

That's why I've done mine been many years also chucked poweflex rack bushes on aswell. Lots of work going on on yours I love it.

I've just done superpro front bush kit on mine haven't driven yet though. Looking good.

Reason you can't post in the fs section is your not a club member bud.

Group buys by members are not allowed bud . We have had issues in past years where people have payed alot of money for parts that have never arrived. Traders are the only ones who are allowed to run group buys. Cheers nick.

Got the new bushes for the arms the other day. Got them fitted up then down to the car fitted them the front ARB with new drop links knuckles discs ksports. New ball joints new tie rod ends drive shafts. Also repaired some working I pulled out of the clips (lambda sensor & oil pressure sensor) almost all done just waiting on new nut and bolts for the waste spanner check every thing then all good to go. Wait for a couple months when I have money then get a mate to go the alignment again for me. Didn't get any pictures this time round was to busy lol 😂

Have you checked pending invoices or has that expired if it has I'll get an admin to reset it.

Today's little job get the lower arms ready for a superpro bush kit heated up and cut off the rear bush followed by a wire wheel to get the last of the bush off. Then was into the front bushes that are pressed in from factory. I don't have a press so drilled holes around the rubber mount then got the hammer and punch out. Worked better than I expected.

Thanks bud

Job No2 done for the day fresh outer CV boots and a quick lick of paint. Hate cv grease but needed doing the old ones had cracked.

Manage to get the box back in yesterday winner. Took ages on my own but got there in the end. Went to do the front gearbox mount up and strip the threads in the mount yay ordered an M10 helicoil kit yesterday that arrived today. So got on and fixed that. Getting there now just waiting on a few bits to turn up to finish off the suspension.

My old ones done that I put metal putty on them was like that for a good 4 years never had a boost leak.

Bit more progress today got the speedy sleeve installed. New rear main new flywheel bolts. Flywheel and clutch back on managed to get the box lifted up but need to have another bash at getting the splines to marry up tomorrow right pig on your own on the floor.

I have done 156mph on a private road / track in my v. Something seams up with yours the mph convert on the box should derestrict it anyway.

Looking good I recently tried to remove the lower mounts on my front bc's failed and gave up 😂

More parts arrived to freshen up the whiteline front ARB old ones had split and the bar has rusted and I couldn't get some of the nuts off.

Bearings turned up for the coilovers today they fit which is brilliant and at a fraction of the cost BC wanted. They wanted £22.50 per bearing I got theses for £1.99 each. Used a little locktite when I fitted them as it looked to have had some kind of adhesive on the old ones when I took them out. That's another job done getting there slowly.

That's some impressive spec you have.

Thanks dude I haven't picked the wings back up since then lol 😂

Today's venture was to remove the other spring seat it was seized to the shaft that was fun manage to get that off with wd40 and brute force. Managed to get the bearings out aswell so ive orded some replacements hope they fit. I did want to raise the coilovers by 5m but the feet are seized solid yay.

Thanks dude. Made a start on stripping the coilovers today think I've found my steering issues I've had for a few years. Now it's the fun of trying to get the parts I need as BC racing uk don't list the bits yay.
