Flaminsam Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hey guys and girls i have another update and some bad news.The shedlet engine is looking rather poorly at the moment as i have just about raped it. the cam belt has been removed, the turbo, cat and manifold have been removed. also a few brackets, air con pump and PAS pump have been removed. then i found that on the manifold that no.3 had done the usual and cracked the manifold. BADLY!heres some pics to have a squiz at.on a good note though the turbo is in good condition with only minor cracking on the wastegate.here are some more pics for reference,cambelt oncambelt offtiming marksgearbox diff input. any ideas if its a lsd box? i dont think it is if im honest.and the broken wire on the TPS that i was talking about before.next question is do i just rebuild with a stainless manifold and decat for now or do i invest in a new manifold and decat for another turbo? hmmmmmm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flaminsam Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 hey guys and girls just a small update for you. the shedlet is now in its new home for the time being. its in my friends lock up awaiting the magic to happen. basically its up on axle stands at the moment and ive just been doing some cosmetic work to it for now. so i set too with the schults and the spray paint to tidy up a few things before the engine goes back in. so after i had finished with the schults and covered myself with paint i decided to locate the battery in the boot. i drilled holes in the boot floor and made the battery a snug fit to the rear of the car. then i decided to swap the tailgates over as the one that came with the shell was cracked and slightly dented. ironically the tailgate i was fitting came off charls gt advance then i put the new clocks in that i bought from greasemonkey. i also got some rear calipers from him and he even left me some pads with plenty of meat left! awesome so now im waiting for the cam belt kit so i can replace that, then the engine can be slotted back into place fingers crossed the cambelt kit will be here soon and the magic can happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 certainly does look like a oem lsd box. did u purchase it as one or is that just a nice suprise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
