Gav Missen Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 The hubs & dust covers and also the engine & gearbox mounts were a bit grubby with a load of previous paint on so sanded them all back primed and painted back to black Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gav Missen Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 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.

Gav Missen Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) 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 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! still waiting on quite a few parts but I’ll keep updated as much as I can Gav Edited May 11, 2022 by Gav Missen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gav Missen Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Haven’t posted for a while but back on track! Engine is done and now fully forged I’ll do a spec list later on The ORC clutch & flywheel arrived from Japan really pleased with that looks a great bit of kit Turbo arrived from midnite turbos TD04 hybrid billet wheel Greddy 9 blade shaft Willwood brakes are here ready to go on WEPR manifold is a real bit of kit looks lovely Test fitted the wheels and may have to figure something out with the arches or get some wider ones it’s very tight Think that’s it for the moment just time to put everything together and get the gearbox sorted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gav Missen Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 Little update got sick of looking at the state of the old crank pulley ordered a fensport one and really happy with it build quality looks good also sent my gearbox off to be repaired, I’m not sure what hillbilly done the last repair but oh my goodness 🤣 pretty safe to say it won’t be staying like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gav Missen Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 3” exhaust turned up just need to cut the downpipe flange off and get it matched up to my 3” wepr downpipe got bored staring at the first crusty loom so stripped it all back and re sleeved it in braided cover not 100% but looks 10x better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gav Missen Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 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 also got the gearbox casing welded up where there was a crack then managed to finally get the engine in! Feels a shame to be covering up the ORC clutch & fly 😭 gave the gearbox a clean and sprayed it black then mocked up the turbo and manifold, also fitted the new catch can and lines along with the Cusco brake stopper now that the abs & p/s are out the way I can mount the fpr here which I think is a nice touch 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
