Sound! The plan now is store it in the shed tomorrow or Thursday and begin the three stage Polish. She's a 520i but it's plenty, lot of go in the Manuals. 4.4 V8 swap might be in the cards in the future.

Is that a really bad attempt at photoshopping out the reg, or a really bad attempt at printing a plate?

Think there's a few dings in it, that's all

I'd say it's a serious motor compared to the E39!







Eh.... what?!

Toyotafanboi

heard an awful shower of rain and said i better go look outside, in that typically Irish "never seen a drop of rain before" kind of way. said i better move the car up the road a bit, the water is still rising! it it's not forklifts, it's flash floods :pac:

At least if you ever sell it you've got some good pics now.

I finally got some proper pics of the 330d:












Under fluorescent lights the paint looks lighter than it actually is.

Always liked the understated look of the t sport. Youd never think they have 192bhp.
Got it for a good price yeah!.
Hasn't been mot'd since 2012.
Hoping the brakes haven't seized.
Doesn't have leather but in good condition for an 03. Got a full clutch kit on micks garage for €84 and a second hand engine with 95000 miles for €500 so not too bad so far!....

Toyotafanboi

€84 for a clutch kit was very very good. what brand is that? when i needed a clutch for mine the cheapest i could find was €250 iirc. what happened the old engine? bottom ends?

MetzgerMeister

Is it the same VVTL-i 190 engine in the T-Sport as is in the Celica?

just that nobody expects it in the Corolla :pac:

It is a great engine and thankfully it doesn't have the oil burning issue its baby brother has.

Yeah couldn't believe my eyes when I seen it. Was reduced from 256€. And I had a discount code getting me the clutch down to €84 including free delivery.
It's a japanparts clutch, never tried them before.

The old engine dropped a valve, piston badly damaged. Got it removed today!
Exhaust off, radiator out, bonnet removed, loom out was a pain. First time I ever tried but getting help from the brother who has more experience.

Toyotafanboi

fair play to you good feeling of self satisfaction i'd say. once you get it in lift a few times i'd say you'l keep it :pac:

what are you doing with the old engine? could use a few bits :P

It's currently lying in a wheelbarrow behind the shed, pm me if you need any parts, I'll let you know if I have them!

Foxhole Norman

Currently still in this freezing cold shed detailing the red one, I think it's time for a fire soon :pac:
