Had ago at doing the engine mount earlier, tried slacking off the 10mm bolts where they go into the chassis, 3 came out fine but theres always one isnt there 10mm socked slipped on it, then wacked a 3/8 socket on and that rounded it too, so its like totally round now lol, gonna drill it out tmoz as thats the only way or to either gring the head off the bolt but theres not enough space for the grinder to fit in the space so drill it outs is the only way me thinks.
Knock it loose with a chisel if there's room.
JDM Dc2
no room at all mate :dapprove:
Ah, that's s**t.
JDM Dc2
Done the mount.
Fistly drilled the head of the bolt that was rounded off starting with 2mm then 3mm etc etc -
once i snapped the head off i undone the arch lining and undone the rest of the bolt -
Old vs New Vibratechnics one -
Done -
Just need to get another bolt now which ill sort tmoz.
Randomer of the bay

Went to the scrappy earlier and got another bolt for the mount and also got a Windscreen washer bottle cap off a mk4 as they come black instead of my painted one lol.
Also removed the front part of the centre section earlier as im going to get a proper custom de-cat made from Pipewerx in the morning.

JDM Dc2
Just got back from Pipewerx in Ormskirk, had the new de-cat/mid section pipe made...
Old (2.5" bodged to the 2" piper) Vs New (2.25") -
Opened out to 59mm for it to slide over the Milletek manifold -
Reduced down to 2" to connect to the piper system -
Mint job
Cant wait to fit it... id go outside and fit it now but ermmm -

2"?? Thats to small IMO! Needs to be 2.25 all the way through.....

mini-valver
Thats what I mean. 2" Piper? Might aswell fit the standard system, lol.
JDM Dc2
whole system isnt 2 " tho really is it now, half of it 2.25, then about a mater of 2" then the back box, still good for 155bhp so meh, to get the 2.25" system you have to get the full piper system inc. manifold through pumabuild and i aint forking out 600quid just for the sake off a meter of the system 0.25" bigger lol
JDM Dc2
Well exhaust is sorted and sounding sweet again!
Whilst the car was running on axel stands the wheels were spinning and the nearside wheel is buckled slightly but what i dont understand is ive only drove the car 4 times (bout 100miles) since i had the wheel re-balanced and i cant remeber hitting anything bad or anything and doesnt feel buckled when driving
Need a new VT lower engine mount/torque link too which im gonna order in a min.
Also where the driveshaft connects into the box on the near side theres alot of play (can push it in and out about 10mm)... also the housing on the back of the engine theres about 3-4mm play in that too so im gonna have AdamAndertons complete near side driveshaft inc. the part connected to the engine and the housing etc... will sort that when adam sells his engine as its stuck behind his car in the garage atm lol
Fkin hate cars one thing after another!

I went and bought a 32mm socket to check the Hub bolt, is tight as it should be so will have to change the complete nearside driveshaf inc. the housing on the rear of the engine right back to the box.
Removed the old VT lower engine mout earlier too ready for the new one, this is to show how much play there is, a good 2-3mm -
...so cant wait for the new one to arrive.
Also the interior floor is in abit of a state so thought id remove the rest of the sound deadening, what i can get to...
after them pics i wiped away the excess with white spirits and will give the rest a good clean and paint it when the weather gets a little better as it will only just get full of crap soon enough anyways.

will never be confident with bottom ends now tbh after when it went lol... but the current bottom end only has around 12k on it so yeh suppose ive gotta trust it havent i lol
yeh got a MK4 fez 1.25 in purple with no PAS for the daily lol
JDM Dc2
Just bought a none PAS steering rack off ebay as i wanna remove the PAS to save abit more weight and to tidy up the bay even more, so that should be here by thursday... gonna go ford this afternoon and get a none PAS aux belt, and some new track rod ends
JDM Dc2
Got a new none PAS and AC aux. belt earlier and some new track rod ends.
Also got some new spark plugs and a new coil pack as i havent changed them since owning the car yet.
Also got some gearbox oil ready for when i do the driveshaft on the rear of the enigne, thatll be getting done once the PAS has been removed etc and the new ower engine mount fitted.
Tmoz im gonna drain the fluid, remove all the PAS pipes and the aux. belt, and loosen the subframe ready for it to be removed when i have another pair of hands for when the new rack arrives

Good stuff Jamie. How much weight do you reckon you've dropped off removing the PAS setup?
JDM Dc2
Fair play!
JDM Dc2
Love this car
thanks, appreciate it
both without PAS FTMFW!
hardly an easy job doing one nevermind swapping, plus need the 1.25 as back up incase i need to go get summat or nip out, the ZS is on axel stands atm and is staying on now till my new lower engine mount arrives and when the rack arrives
cant wait to get cracking
JDM Dc2
Well today...
Started by removeing all the PAS pipes and the aux. belt and the pump inself -
Then whilst waiting for f0xy to come round i removed the anti-roll bars form the coilovers and the track rod ends... then when he arrived we got on with removing the exhaust de-cat pipe and milltek manifold -
then dropped the gear linkages then removed the subframe and rack -
as we were removing the manifold both the bottom nuts were loose and the lambda sensor was snapped -
so im gonna nip pipewerx to get the de-cat pipe reduced 1mm and to also get a new lamba sensor one afternoon this week.
also gonna need to go ford and get the other pully which goes on the rear of the block which i didnt realised i needed when removing the PAS, and will also get a new manifold gasket and nuts for the manifold where it tightens to the head.
Big thanks for the help from f0xy today once again!!
