What a week.
Power Window motor let go again so found a new replacement motor.
Later that week the Speedo started to drop out then finally a brake line let go
This is a result of the line being held in with a cable tie instead of a proper brake clips. Another bodge job from previous owner.
So I had my ozzy MOT and i spent the entire day having hard lines made up and collecting braided lines.
Then a 4pm i found a nail in the tyre. With test at 8am the next day.
I also fitted a heat shield for the pod filter.
I was thinking last night 2 years sbody daily driving
I have fixed:
Rev clock
Power windows x 2
Brake disks
Stereo wires and a Arial
Fuel line
Pump
New intercooler
Boost leaks x 12
Maf
Speedo
Suspension adjustment
Exhaust x 2
Turbo + gaskets
Turbo gaskets blew
Oil line leak
New thread for oil line
More boost leaks and a split hose
Lambda sensor
Brake lines
Rocker cover gasket
Steering rack boot x2
Steering rack bushes
Breaker on battery relocation
Not too bad when you think about it :censored:0 -

It'll be worth it! If you're ever bored and back in Ireland give me a shout! You can do the gearbox for my Samurai :pac:
Amm sureee...... Id am love to help if you have a rotary tool with sanding disks..
I did that by hand and I still have the engine block looking at me.
I could lie to myself and say ill just do the rocker covers
Good news.
I'm old and so 8kg /6kg Springs have to go.
This car is a road car and the road conditions in my area mean i actually drive slower and have less feel due to rough roads.
Don't get me wrong the car handles like a go kart but can feel like one two in terms of comfort.
So I hunted down a set of S-Tunes 5kg 4kg which should do the job of making the car more friendly as a daily.
So in the next few weeks I'll swap these in and i'm on a wait list for Gktech anti roll bars which will take out any sloppy roll.0 -

Progress Update.
I should really make a list but I don't really want to know.
50mm Gate and 1000cc injectors.
Vband adapters and pipe to plumb the gate and make a fresh Exhaust.
Cross Member got tidied up. Wasn't going to do this but it got out of hand.
Temp Sensor fitted for Clocks.
Changed injector plugs to match the Bosch injectors.
Then spotted there is no serial port wired into the ECU plug to map the ECU
Funk!:mad:
Spigot Bush removal. Tried to drill it out but its being difficult....
Dremel or removal tool would have saved me time.

Fitted S-tunes and removed spigot Bush from Rb25 auto engine.
Will get the gearbox on this week.
Going From 8Kg springs to 5Kg is a huge difference in comfort. The car is so much nicer to drive and even at 5kg its stiff.
There is some roll but just enough to transfer weight. I could argue it is better as I can transfer weight around and the rear end doesn't bounce/skip about when it hits bumps.

Ah crap JCC.
:mad: New bumper time, or is it repairable?
TBH I love in fear of some dozy fool with a prescription windscreen and brain in neutral hitting me like that.Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

So I got a day on the weekend to make progress.
I really should just bolt on the gearbox instead of tidying up the block, but its now or never.
I had to strip the rocker cover after.
I went to spray another coat and it reacted when cleaning. You live you lean and I used a fair bit of bad language.

Looking good JCC. Fair play to you for the results you're getting painting in situ.JimmyCrackCorn wrote: »I used a fair bit of bad language.
Cursing is the mental WD40 and Gaffa tape of car fettling.

Will look better when polished and finished.
Really happy with the outcome so far.
Should be reliable and help with decent flow and boost control on a big turbo turned down to 14psi initially.
Ill get a better photo of the engine now it has dried as I left it alone Saturday.
