SiCaln Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 525 miles down now getting there, final oil change completed before teh decent stuff goes inbut the gearbox is getting troublesome now tho, it sometimes gets stuck in 1st and 2nd, even when I have the clutch pedal to the floor I either have to yank it oout of gear, or de-clutch and try again, also it makes this funny whirring sound when im downshifting to assist braking from 4th to 3rd!

SiCaln Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 the gearbox is now back in, dont actually have a rear bumper on atm tho so cant really drive the car sadly!cant wait til i can Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 lickle update, well nearly, im waiting on parts atm to be truly honest, I have ordered some more earls oil connections for my catch can so that it doesnt look so steak 'n' kidney lock opener under therei have also bought some second hand cusco coillies so i can nab all 4 camber plates off em and fit em to the trd shocks, then i need to have all the suspension set up......then holiday and finally when I get back it will be mapped Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 this time I've been sensible found a shop in US that could send me all the bits for half the price the UK Earls want!and the Cusco bits were sub £200, not bad if they do the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Cusco plates are on all round, but they need to be fiddled with and adjusted which will take place over weekend and on monday morningold sidies are off too and have been replaced with some filler and a sexy panel of primer ready for spraying and fitting of the HRF sidies next week wooso that means suspension and most of body work will be done before my holiday, then I just need to sort out my brakes, repair them and get it mapped Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 sadly still no sidies as yet and the primer is still on lolsuspension has been done at Dixcel Motorosport tho and looks rather tidy and handles fantastically except the rear drivers side wheel is too far into the arch now! may have to adjust that panhard rod, but first things first MOT tomorrow yikes!still havent got ABS sorted, hoping I can just pull the fuse out and lose the light on the dash (attempted, doesnt work may be an expensive today tomorrow after all), also need to pack my cv with some grease because thats making a nice sound Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Jeff is at MOT, got told yea its all fine...except the ABS light, so I have left them to see if they can suss it out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
