russ78 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 hi buddy done a little detective work for you ive found the previous owners username it is Butchysr and it appears he never had a build thread which is a shame for you but theres plenty of history if you read through his posts profile - http://www.ukstarletowners.com/user/10097-butchysr/ it appears you have had new big end shells fitted recently, read here - http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/86453-big-end-and-main-bearing-sizes/page-2 also it appears you have a Speedvision spec 2 ct9 hybrid with Zisco mani/decat, read here - http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/86736-speedvision-spec-2-hybrid-ct9-turbo-set-up-with-zisco-manifold-and-decat-sold/ hope this helps dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Essexglanza Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 @Russ78 many thanks 👍He did say he had the engine rebuilt but no receipts means it hard to prove , the downpipe looks familiar too haha, nice bit of welding there.It's all coming off to be fair as I'm in the process of having a billet wheel put into a TD04 and have an external wastegate to fit also .I will get this built thread moving very shortly, have a long list of parts already purchased so will keep this up to date . Also helps the next owner of there is one haha 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 shame about the build thread but it does seem like hes looked after it which is great news for you, ill look forward to seeing progress on your thread Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Essexglanza Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Having a very trying week.After finding out that I have the wrong gearbox my plans have been put on holdFor now.I now have a fully working OEM LSD box for sale, I have a 2nd hand box to fit and unsure if it's good or not, risk what risk hahaHave fitted a 6 paddle clutch and lightened flywheel, fingers crossed it makes a difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mitsuruki Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 woot lsd atleast its a good gearbox lolz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Essexglanza Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Been a bit quiet lately but plenty going on, after messing around finding spares for the old girl I think I may have sorted a few things . Have all parts for the LSD box, just order a WEPR top mount manifold kit from sasha and picked up the short driveshaft, engine shield and mount from rich dog , some really helpful people out there 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Essexglanza Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 this should be in my possession in little over a months time gave the cooler a lick of paint, weren't to keen on the pink WEPR spray so it had to go !!! nice lightened flywheel fitted along with a new 6 paddle clutch, no pics of that though ????.Project is coming along nicely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
