Idrees Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 First things first, I fitted my TC short shifter to the Glanza. Shifting feels soo much better with this!Okay, along with the headgasket failing, I think I managed to damage a piston ring. This created a bit of a mess to say the least..And on the bumper.Some new parts to go with the new engine.Castrol Magnatec 10w40 Engine Oil75w90 Performance Gear OilNGK Iridium PlugsOil FilterFuel FilterThermostatAntifreeze/Water CoolantDayco Alternator BeltDayco P/Steering BeltExedy Paddle ClutchSo, the next job was to get the new engine and parts fitted. Today I, with the help of my cousin, removed the engine and gearbox at his garage. Having a ramp made life so much easier! Stripping the engine bay, and got rid of the AC.Engine out..One mucky engine bay - to be cleaned before fitting the new engine all being well.And we called it a day, left the car standing like this before leaving tonight.

Idrees Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Sparky yeah I priced them high on a 10 day sale. I don't wanna sell them but if I got stupid money for them I would. If they don't go on eBay they are staying with me. :harhar:Cheers guys, got the new engine and everything fitted today. It's a shame I couldn't bring the car home though, it didn't want to select 1st and 2nd gear for some strange reason, so that will be looked at tomorrow.A few pics from today.Clutch and other bits fitted to engine, and gearbox refitted.Hours later..Excuse the dirt please, it will get a really good clean once up and running properly. Oh, and thank god I didn't have to chop up the bumper for the FMIC!Wish us luck with getting this gear issue sorted please guys, I'm really hoping it's something minor.

Rickstar Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Good luck bro! Hopefully it will be a minor!! Cars looking bummmmmmmmm!!lol. :harhar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
