Gearbox end needs cutting in half and removing in two pieces, the subframe end will knock out its only an interferance fit.
^ ok sorted,
this project thread is lame tbh
i just havent had stuff through to get the project going, but hopefully stuff will happen this weekend when i hope the engine will be dropped in finaly tbh,
so then its a choice:
1: keep it as normal as possible
or
2: track it...
im thinkin tracking it, as well im only young and dont have any financial problems such as mortgage etc..
watch this space

ETA on first track session, sunshine bus should be pumped up with power soon
i strat my conversion friday night
Probably just the splines on the input shaft of the box aren't lined up with those on the inside of the friction plate, try turning the input shaft a bit a trying again. Otherwise keep jiggling and it will go on!guys i need some help
for the love of god i cant get the gearbox on, iv removed the cage that hold the clutch plate and aligned the clutch plate so that its dead on centre, and tried connecting the box, but it just wont slip in..
any suggestions ?
ye i was thinking that, but trying to line a gearbox on your own is hard especially as the box weights a frikin tone lol, im down there tonight as i got some stuff to do so will try it once again,
Why turn the flywheel hutch? shouldnt i just turn the clutch plate as thats were the splines are,
nope the engine isnt in the car as yet, iv tried and tried its a right basterd to do
il try it inabit i think, goin down now as cousin is suppose to drill out a bolt that stuck as i cant get the bugger out,
also the engine mount arrived today finaly, been a slow progress nearly a month withouth a car is weird, but iv saved on fuel/insurance etc
update:
yesturday was a long day, decided i had enough of not having a car and catchin public transport to work was lamee.
So 8am Saturday morning i was in the garage, had to get the engine in today, but having no engine crane made it very hard for a one man job, but it had to be done
So up it went, the car was high enough now to get the engine in from under neath, but since the engine was heavy with the gearbox etc on it all had to come off, so off came the gearbox/mani/inlet, and i started to walk the engine into the bay..
Took me roughly 4hours to get it all in, would have taken about 2 if my dad wouldnt have been so nosey etc lol,
by now your thinkin how on earth is he going to get the engine onto the mount let me explain......
1, Drop the car till its on the floor, but rest it on some wood blocks.
2, wiggle the engine onto the mount,
3, connect the gearbox
4, bolt the gearbox mount on and onto the gearbox,
then lift it up
Job done, would have been easier to get it through the top with a crane but i had to take it back last week
next up was do all the shafts etc, one was in easy but then i was debbating in my head that the passenger side which has a 3motion ball sortov thing had to be filled with crease and then sealed, but Luke cleard that up for me that it gets filled with gearbox oil sorted..

sorted..
Decided then it was time for the wiring to be done, i wasnt expecting it tbh but its hell to do
done preety much all ov it, execept for a few and the connectors for the starter motor,
What is this plug for tho?
and this? though it was the ABS pump plug, but doesnt fit :S
Now, since my old engine was a 1.2, iv been wondering were these connect onto the 2L engine..
fuel line:
And this, it comes from the carbon canniester on the driver side
??
Next, subframe went back, god this fucker is heavy lol, so used my jack and feet to lign them up
more in a bit just uploading

i am slightly worried about your mechanical know how... but i have faith..
hutchie
Just to clear this up:
I have NEVER done any sort of mechanics this much before, hence why my mum and dad said "after its finished take it to dion (mechanic) to get it checked over" thats how much the trust me :dapprove:

That black and yellow block connector attaches to a loom that goes to the rear axle, I think its for the xenon adjustor etc... only I think because I vaguely remember wondering the same thing. Dont think I ever connected it though.
Carbon canister can be taken out and thrown away, no real need for it.
I think the fuel line should be ok

My idol x
I want to do something like this and also have limited (ish) mechanical knowledge.
I'll buy a s**tter when I get my own pad and do an engine rebuild or something
Good work man!
Cheers fella, its not that hard tbh, iv mostly learnt myself and also reading on here has helped aswell
