UPDATE:.....................

well ive been busy.

had the car home since sunday night (12/09/10)

since then ive:

-taken stickers off ,funkypower, d/s glanza, toms ..refer to first pics

-sound deadening from wheel well (used a hair dryer to sorten it,..love auto glym tar remover!!)

-cleaned inside engine bay,replacing rusty bolts with clean ones

-took off,mani,decat,turbo, power steering,all air-con, rad, drained oil

-heatwrapped last 3rd of the exhaust.

to do,..

-heatwrap the mani, rest of the exhaust (decat is done)

-aluminium civic size radiator

-magnicore leads

-remove interior and take all the sound deadening off,and put the carpet back in (for warmth.

have to detatch all the sensors ect so the engine is ready to come out,ive just been cleaning as i go.

pics speak a thousand words.

the exterior is not polished yet.

thanks for looking

[AaronW]

Update:

Engine is in and running 12psi,had to swap knock sensors as the one I got on the other engine was gooses.

Plan is to get it mapped at 1.2bar and I'm sure she will be nippy. Cams are great,really loving the car. Will update with pics and a video once weather let's me.

[LukeSR]

That was quick ;)

[AaronW]

lol,i picked the engine up last saturday and had it in the sunday night :-)

release bearing has gone on the clutch tho.

lovin the cams!

[AaronW]

UPDATE:

forged engine is in,

rear stripped ,sound proofing from boot removed

few pics,...

out with the old (bearing went)

in with the new

how she sits now

im going to change the turbo set up,somthing abit bigger,vf23 or td04/5 not 100% yet.

need to change my clutch release bearing so now is the best time to swap i guess.

thanks for looking

[AaronW]

and put it where? thats where ive only seen them go.

[Nanglebadger]

thats where i have mine mounted too my brother's too, although to be fair the instructions with the Willans do state that a less steep angle is preferable to dropping them right down behind the seats, i thought where mine are was grand, it was my local rally guys that installed them.

also, lookin gooooooooooooooooood man! health to enjoy!

Phil.

[Sanchez]

Looking good mate!

Yeah there not really anywhere else to put them is there?

As your not supposed to mount to the strut brace where i have seen and heard its dangerous?

Have sen some mount to floor bars behind the seats? what about that?

[AaronW]

flor bars would be even steeper ,prob best place is on a rollcage cross bar.

[Amjad]

Looking good!

My harness is attached just below the ledge bit where the rear seat bench sits (at 90 degrees to the floor), at an approximate 60 degree angle to the harness holes I'm guessing?
