Re: ph1 project take 2

Looks spot on mate has the poly dogbone mount made any difference?

 

[Stu.]

Re: ph1 project take 2

Cheers mate! and i changed that when i put on K-tec engine mounts. Feels alot more solid than before!

Bits and peices starting to come together now! Heres my fuel rail gaurd, Engine mount, Throttle body & bracket for throttle cable! painted in Vauxhall minstral grey. Looks good in the light tbh! upper and lower inlets will be painted the same once they have been matched

[.Stevo.C.]

Re: ph1 project take 2

Cool I just went and bought one of Kam racing is the mount easy enough to fit? that fuel rail guard and mount cover looks smart as f**k in that colour are they powder coated or painted?

 

[Stu.]

Re: ph1 project take 2

what mount? an uprated upper one? took me about 5 mins to change and cheers! i just painted them with a rattle can lol all engine bits im doing are that colour, and the nuts + bolts beadblasted! dunno what colour to do the rocker cover though.

 

[Mcaff]

Re: ph1 project take 2

i know what colour you should do it

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Re: ph1 project take 2

Re: ph1 project take 2

Right! fairly big update here id say! all started last saturday when i pulled out the drive and it went bang...so new gearbox it is! ill start from the start

Friday afternoon i collected my freshly powdercoated f1s! and some new rubber

saturday i fitted new pads on the rear and stripped it out for crail on the sunday. pulled out my drive with a massive bang from the gearbox and some nice crunching etc...
got it back in the drive and a fair bit of inspection came back to the passenger side of the gearbox in the diff, long storey short it was fubard!

so got it all out that night

got a new gearbox on the monday, but the bearing on the end of the drive shaft had fell inside and lost all the needle bearings when we got it out :dead: got 16 needle bearing so far...

with the subframe etc all out i thaught id make the most of it! so painted it all up and got powerflex bushes for the lot! rear arb ones where such a pain!

All built.

new clutch and HEL brake lines.

and now its just waiting to go back together! have sand blasted callipers and calliper hangers and spraying them up too, so they look fresh when its all back together! ill get some pics up of them when i have time.

should have my sabelt wheel soon aswell

bits to get next - Rear ARB, Solid top mounts + finish matchiing my inlets then fit all my painted engine bits

not too sure after that!

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Re: ph1 project take 2

[subarufreak]

Re: ph1 project take 2
