Little update since still waiting on drive shafts I thought I’d get on with a few little bits so I modified the inlet manifold as it was cheeper to buy it Unmodified as it’s got a water jacket on it that need cutting off and I also bored it to 70mm to match the throttle body adapter I’m running...
Little update got all the mount bits painted in satin 2k and inner wing treated etched sealed then painted engine was built up with new billet flywheel and new H/D exedy clutch kit and it’s in there for good now and the clutch seems to work.. little heavy but was expected washed all the shitty...
Yeh mate they are a toyo sports but v banded I mean the 182 is a very nice manifold with decent size primary’s and it’s designed to fit through subframe arb and rack anyway so thought would be close and I had one so only had to buy a flange so it’s owes me £20 😂👍
So update time.. got all the mounts finished also had to notch subframe but all in and clearing so that’s good 👍
Also got exhaust mani and flange tac welded together and that clear the body subframe and even lined up with the system 🤷♂️ Don’t ask me how!! Next got to get my drive shafts lathed...
Updates!! Got engine hanging in there just need to finish chassis rail and strengthening also need to strengthen the cam chain end mount. Need to notch subframe a little and make the dog bone fit but at least it’s in there!!
A little bit of a boring update..
bought a lot of parts nearly everything I need!!
Got a new genuine chain and tensioner
Billet flywheel with oem clutch
Weld in sump baffel
Rbc Un modified inlet with thermal gasket
Hybrid racing universal loom
Lots of other bits
So made start on engine stripped...
Well that’s the thing it’s I was only gunner do for the sake of it it’s not gunner be a mental track car gunner be more of road car probs do odd track day init I guess
I don’t think it was repaired from its cat d as front bumper and grill are still broken it’s on 70k apparently it was stood in dry which is probs true as shell is immaculate (rust wise) now just accumulating parts for a resto 😂 need to do kangoo first 😂
