Grand plans mate and if you pull that lot off, I think the car will be something really special :) You know my feelings about the Accusump; they are absolutely worth every penny.
You had a result with the engine mate, both in buying one so cheaply and then selling the bits off to recoup all of your costs :D

Onwards and upwards eh?

Update and Pics

Post by Rob_B »

Car went for its MOT today and passed with flying colours, this meant i could finally drive it home :D and im pleased to report that she drives superb :)

especially after we changed all the drive train lubricants

the new poly bushes should arrive tomorrow so will be fitted this week

a few parts of the oil cooler kit have arrived and the accusump is due any day now :nod:

so hopefully in the next few weeks i can have the oil cooler, accusump and baffled sump fitted and possibly get all the new brake components fitted too, then all there is to do is sort the gauges

below are a few pics i took whilst the work was getting done, apologies for the quality

Engine refresh:

nice work chap - I'm amazed at your quick turnaround from dead to living :) ... maybe you boys should stop stripping and start rebuilding :)

^^^^^^
James, has the new circuit layout killed many engines since the changes?
I remember that scooby's and evo's on slicks had issue's but not normal stuff having problems?
