Slight change of plans…

due to my lack of research I’ve found out id1050x injectiors won’t work with my emanage so looks like rx7 injectors will be on the cards 

Get rid of ya emanage and go for a better ecu emanage are shit go for something like heltech link etc

powerflex black anti lift kit
lower arms

lower arm ball joints 

arb droplinks

front wheel bearings 

inner track rods & ends 

hoping to get everything underneath the car new to match everything else

Had a quick hour on G after work, removed the wings just to make it a bit easier to clean everything up and I also plan on condensing down the loom in them areas as it’s very messy and maybe relocating the fuse box inside the car.

had a scrub up in the bay and arches was very grimey under the wings as you can see, getting a bit of prep work done ready for some paint, will also under seal the arches, trying to get this done soon as my suspension parts are slowly turning up so would like it all painted whilst it bare.

So update time…

suspension parts are all now back together, even though I’ve got to take the hubs back off to remove the backplates as I’ve just ordered the Willwood 4 pots which should be a nice addition!

i also got the HEL abs delete kit fitted which was a bit of a pain with no instructions but worked it out eventually! Also fitted the new poly bush engine mounts 

image.thumb.jpeg.d145585c5bfc736ee5974f6edd3bb1bb.jpeg
 

the Kaaz diff has now arrived just still unsure whether to use my gearbox or now at the repair I found on it may be worst than I think I’ll try and get some photos to show… 

also ordered some bronze Grid V’s and some ns2r’s which arrived today!

Think that’s it for the moment just time to put everything together and get the gearbox sorted

Little update

got sick of looking at the state of the old crank pulley 

image.thumb.jpeg.9eed76ccdb6095a1e47234a51f72660c.jpeg
 

ordered a fensport one and really happy with it build quality looks good 

image.thumb.jpeg.63a5ad0cc8321f328953a1069ebfc580.jpeg
 

also sent my gearbox off to be repaired, I’m not sure what hillbilly done the last repair but oh my goodness 🤣

image.thumb.jpeg.29f7f3d48d2b5339564b319be5e2bd1d.jpegimage.thumb.jpeg.214e1dfdf408fdeec22fa1de64e5e032.jpegimage.thumb.jpeg.59fe9176b286d24506fafc669227586f.jpeg

So bit of a bigger update as haven’t posted in a while.. 

managed to source some livesports wings to fit the new wheel width still in gel coat yet to be painted 

image.thumb.jpeg.c5a7f4f57ed7b938faf4f5d1c52207ef.jpeg

also got the gearbox casing welded up where there was a crack 

image.thumb.jpeg.f5b6bfee9e3160761247188fda91d02c.jpeg

then managed to finally get the engine in! Feels a shame to be covering up the ORC clutch & fly 😭

image.thumb.jpeg.4f5f0b9d8f068145a5eaf168cc21de0d.jpeg

image.thumb.jpeg.3084f6f47950cc6ebb6cd368c8369915.jpeg

gave the gearbox a clean and sprayed it black 

image.thumb.jpeg.028e7f2fb593213bff3a972cf50f7be3.jpeg

then mocked up the turbo and manifold, also fitted the new catch can and lines along with the Cusco brake stopper 

image.thumb.jpeg.9d3e44b05124d3f29ae8ab334e0ea5f0.jpeg

image.thumb.jpeg.70bebeb62801e9f84b48194fc09dbaca.jpeg

now that the abs & p/s are out the way I can mount the fpr here which I think is a nice touch 

image.thumb.jpeg.dd37f6a0c4d74268b223bc5b8acf370e.jpeg

driveshafts and new seals are now all in but I’m having issues with a wheel bearing that I’ve only just had replaced seems to be locking up tight when hun nut is on will take it off and look in to it more soon.

spent some more time today fitting the loom and taking the rear axle off to be painted will get more pictures soon.

cheers
