From what i remember ALOT of Tomei and GReddy stuff in that car when i had it, Tomei cam's,Injectoers,G Reddy turbo,manifold and intake,forged internals,......but who knows might not even be the same engine as the time i had it,just simply the engine cover moved over.
Been busy past couple days giving a hand here and there to the other lads and havent really got to mine to make any more real changes.

We burned out the bushes on one of the 180's.

Fitted all new arms and polybushes, hoping to do this to my own soon....
Started proper looking into my own car to try make heads or tails of the past stories, found some very good evidence as to what may have happened it.....

Came from Charleville anyway....

That colour glowing at me again made me look even deeper into things....

And think I found the reason why it was sprayed white... She mustve got a tap! Poorly beaten out with a hammer but handy enough with filler... Guess that red colour was too dear to match and ended up doing it on the cheap... Which came in the colour white...
Hopefully dropping the subframes in the next two days. Then shultz the underneath and paint up the subframes... Get cracking on the engine bay then. :)
what about the big hole in the block the conrod made from drifting it down the port with the big ends rattling xmas day :cool:
Have been busy the past while and havent really got a chance to update this, we extended the new unit and 4 more of our buttys have moved in so its been all hands on board the past while. Heres the update....

Cracked open my old gearbox to find a nice little ORC Ogura clutch....

Unfortunately, part of the deal with the new engine was he got to keep the box and clutch.... Dammnit....

Nice wire brushing and a healthy coat of Schultz... Lick of clear coat to harden it up now today.... http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...ps89b0382d.jpg
Even the gearboxes got a little TLC...
Hopefully off to be tubbed in the next fortnight, in the meantime subframes will be stripped, cleaned and repainted... and treated to some new polybushes.
Serious progress now
A friend of mine had that in charleville back in 09 a fair pony she was lad well ware lookin forward to seeing how it turns out
Fair fucks to you lad your doing it all properly anyway ill be keeping an eye on this. The washers welded to the subframe means that your going to get good height on the subframe so all the better!
Just a little update so far on how the builds going... New arms on the way hopefully arriving tomorrow so full speed ahead cleaning up the subframes and replacing the bushes.... Lick of paint here and there, makes all the difference in cleaning it up....
