just a little update guys - haven't got rid of her just yet lol
so the last month or so the car has been sitting unloved and neglected due to the gearbox casing splitting. parked it and left it at work until i could be bothered working on it.. got it back, changed over with a replacement box i had sitting around but guess it sat around for a while - wouldn't engage into any gears even though i checked before hand, thought it was fine.
so before all that was done, went and did the rear main seal even though she looked right.. machined the flywheel, new flywheel bolts, fitted up an excedy heavy duty cushion button clutch, changed thrust bearing, new engine mounts - was so wanting to put in some solid mounts but couldn't wait for shipping from the U.S so stock replacements just had to do. got rid of the power steering and sourced down a manual rack. cleaned down and painted everything and anything that was greasy.. the pipes and engine mounts went black with abit of matt thrown into it
im on the lookout for a replacement box, so if anybody has one, used or rebuilt please let me know
also i've got an ECMlink chip for it - prob one of the best and afforable on the market at the moment i think for the 4g's, but still need to hard wire in a OBD1 port for the cable to the raptop
still have the 272 cams im yet to install but waiting on the cam seals and for someone to put them in, also still need to fit the coilovers
once that sorted, put it into a shop for a tune on the current set up.. then i'll hit the track. i'll most likely follow the e85 band wagon so i'll end up configuring the ECU to suit! just means more purchasing that im trying to not do!
cheers
