Sold the engine/box on the zone mate, cheers for the PM too will reply later about some bits.

"Winter Car" lol

Rob, im never getting another Clio ;)

It was somehow running with a Ph1 inlet setup/cable throttle/idle control valve and Ph1 ECU, although a Ph2 UCH inside with climate control, Ph2 clocks etc. Had a 182 exh. manifold and you could just tell the engine had been shoddily put back in at some point. Unfortunately the owners were non...

Only a 600 mile round trip with a trailer for nothing...

http://pistonheads.com/sales/3208351.htm As im really interested in how a Ph2 is running a Ph1 ECU and Cable Throttle Body...

The engines in and running but hes not using it at the trackday - its in lots of bits at the moment sorting the cage out!

Yep full day!

Its two weeks today. Friday 4th November! :) Quite a few off here are going and on track - Rob, Adam Anderton, Jamie Rigby etc

There is already more than 10 interested anyway, but I would imagine so yeah. Jon il fire it over on the weekend.

Ive had enough of silly cars on the road for a good while yet. The Passat is probably the best car I've owned yet with regards to paying f*ck all for it, hammering it, having engines in the back, towing 1500kgs+ all the time, full of sh*te all the time and I don't even have to care about it -...

Cheers for the comments everyone. Just got home to find some nice new suspension has been delivered, along with ARBs and a few other bits. Got pretty much everything bar the front brakes so should hopefully get a lot done considering its all nuts and bolts now! Picked up some new turbo and...

Yeah. Should have it running this weekend all being well, then making an exhaust up next week and sorting seat mounts - just tidying the small bits up then! Yeah, really nice car!

Doesnt cost that much ;) Studs are only £0.95 each, machine work £free!

Stud conversion finished on all four corners. Milled out the threads on the rear stubs to 1/2", then got two new front hubs/bearings (come as a complete unit) and milled those out too... Ordered 16 x 12x1.5 studs and open ended nuts. Got the longest ones I could again like on the Clio...

Done!

Exactly this.... Its the part I most enjoy about doing things like this - finding, fabricating and making things work. Got a bit more done last night - As mentioned previously I thought about making another down pipe to do away with the flange that's on the short turbo down pipe. I had a bit...

Bit more of an update from the weekend. Made up two 14mm spacers for the E36 rack (as the mounting points aren't as tall as an E30).. Then fitted the rack to the front subframe.. I decided to fit the new front wishbones before the engine as its easier to get to the bolts etc, so set about...

Unsure - from what I've read (and researched about the pins on the engine loom) it should just run after I've made up a fuel pump and ignition relay and connected 4-5 wires - thats how the other conversions have done it upto now. Will see this week when I get it going hopefully! Yeah - well I...

a bit? lol.

197bhp from a standard 1*2 engine made me laugh tbh!

Nice one, no major rush - hopefully going to get it running this week. No need, the pedal box is in the same place, I've just moved the bulkhead hole and back plate to allow servo to be further over :) Ive managed to move the column two inches over too at the bottom and retain the same...

Quite a few bits done over the past week. First off was refitting the rear beam and LSD with polybushes... After a bit of effort/balancing act on a jack everything was bolted up in position.. Next thing was I wanted to grind all the brackets out of the engine bay that were no longer...

Yeah hes got a build thread on there too, really tidy. Its the older S13 engine but still done well. Spoke to him a while back about the steering column clearance but didnt get very far with information, not that it matters now anyways!

No immob on it (thankfully), just needs fuel pump relay, ignition live and starter solenoid wire - should start and run with that! Nooope not had it all along, about 3-4 months maybe, managed to blag a big argon mix bottle for cheap so kept it this time

Painted, dry and ready to be reassembled over the weekend with poly bushes. As much as I wanted it powder coating (Crispy - probably subtle black!) paint will have to do until its ripped apart in the future... E36 M3 rack arrived also - will be swapping the E30 arms onto this and comparing...

Ive got H&R front (22mm) and rear (18mm) adjustable (3way) ARB's, and hoping to purchase KW V2's soon but still not 100% decided.. Yeah mate spot on, came the other day! Will be cracking on fitting it all over the weekend :)

Pretty much - well, the only custom bits really are prop/engine mounts/few other bits for now. But in the future I'm hoping to go more custom with a few things so we'l see! Predominantly a track car!

Sorry when I say S14 I mean Nissan S14/S14a, lol.

Not that much if you know where to buy the stuff and don't rush into it... Like you say, the labour would be 3x the cost of the parts - a LOT of hours have gone into it already and its nowhere near there yet! Picked the completed prop shaft up earlier today, S14-to-E30 retaining the original...
