Jozinobi Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Project Red EP91 5EFHE Rebuild UpdateI picked up the gearbox last night which is sorted but it still needs a drive shaft seal.Have ordered one off Sheekey. I also dropped off the other body parts to my body shop.I also needed a new timing belt pulley which I got hold of so my mechanic can now work on the aux belts.The paddle clutch has now been fitted which Im pretty happy about.The engine bay parts have been all sprayed up so will be collecting those soon. The red I used for my brake calipers have been used for the strut brace ends, radiator brackets, engine damper brackets and bmcs brackets. A metallic gold for the timing belt cover, engine damper and bmcs stopper piece.Will be interesting to see how they look in the bay.All being well the car should be running by the end of the week.

Jozinobi Posted March 26, 2009 Author Posted March 26, 2009 Thanks for the kind words guys.She is all up and running now and while its still too early to judge, she is pretty nippy.Its the breaking in period now so Im off to do some of that lol.Peace Quote
Rickstar Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 JOZ u sick guy!lol.. Happy for u bro! bet your buzzin inside! lol.. u kept it in u al this time!lol.. Let us know how it is!! safe bro.STAR Quote
Jozinobi Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 Thats the first 50 odd miles covered so she is all ready for the first oil change.Have been keeping her at 4k revs max with varied driving, some half and wot.The paddle clutch is hard to get to used to as the biting point is so small but is very responsive.The biggest difference I've felt so far is the LSD, it makes cornering a cinch with bodyroll, oversteer etc a thing of the past.Still some way to go but I should have her booked into the bodyshop soon to get her makeover.Im going to change the oil at 200 then 500 miles, then it will be time for emanage.The 4efe ecu accepted the 5efhe injectors which was a good sign.Thanks for all the support.
