Hi all,

Engine is in!! Fair bit of playing around to get it to fit properly its all very snug!! Had to file down the lip on the oil pump as the flex plate was contacting it.

nice jesse where did you get that harmonic balancer from?

[ted]

I got it from fleabay man i have no idea how it will go, im actually going to go back to a stocker.

[ted]

Had a mad crack at it today!! Evo k-frame,X-member and control arms are in freshly painted all new balljoints, antilift and bushing throughout. engine and box were extracted for a few little tweeks and
what not. still require gearbox wiring to be completed. Brakes and braided lines fitted and bled. Found a new little headache to do with the ABS tone ring on the Gsr passenger side driveshaft. But i've got it nutted !! Pics and updates to come!!

I will pm you a write up when im done no use sending it to you when im only half way through doing it. But there isnt much in the way of a loom as my auto is fully manualised. Still nuting out engine mounts.

Good to see you got it to drive in 2011 Ted. Use 1st to take off during the run in. The kevlar lined 2nd gear
band needs to bed in for at least 1k before you can take off mild in 2nd gear in trafic. You have a 3mm bleed
hole under the pcsv Ted, so it can release a bit of line presure. If you decide you want no bleed time at all
after runing it in, replace the gasket with a 2-3mm thick rubber gasket with no bleed hole. Put a washer above
the rubber each side before you put the pcsv on top to prevent the alli corners snapping off when you tighten
the 2 longer than std bolts & the 2 lock nuts under them. I'd raise the back end a bit Ted to make it rake a bit.
Congrats on having the 1st 1.8ltr auto runing lsd fwd. I'm sure you'll enjoy having no boost drop between gears.
Cheers !

Woohoo! Thats great new man!!

[ted]

Thanks a heap again Aldo for the auto i haven't driven it on the road yet just in and out of the workshop plus its a little difficult because i haven't fitted the shifter yet. cooler piping and exhaust are next up. Slowly piecing the interior together also. Just finishing up wiring bits and pieces-themro fans, turbo timer crap like that. BUT.....It looks like my victory with progress is short lived
it seems like i have a head gasket leak from the oil feed. F^&KING CARS!!!!!

Small update: Fitted the new B&M pro ratchet chopping up the centre console to make it fit :S and the cable is a foot to long so no shifting today hopefully next week.
Had to have a few sleeves made up to build up the drive shaft hub seal and abs tone ring surfaces, Boost gauge mounted and poxy fake woodgrain dash!! its actually growing on me hahaha. Then exhaust and cooler piping getting oh so close!!!
