Love the engine bay, wish I had the time or inclination to do mine. Black and silver looks immense!!

 

[tel88]

Engine bay should be looking good soon. I've just rebuilt it and having loads of bit powercoated

 

[ventura]

How did you get the inside of your phase 2 so clean?

 

[williams]

Love the PH1, agree the TD's in silver look great! They 15's?

Question for you. What size of Samco 90 bend is that you have? Diameter etc?

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Is it the camera or is there some good old camber on the go on the rear???

I see what your saying it does look abit strange, must just be a weird angle.

After doing this to my gearbox i thought it was about time to sort afew thing out.

The rocker cover was leaking and the belts needed changing.
I also wanted to uprate and change a few things.

So put the car in the work shop and out came the engine.

I got a JC5 129 gearbox out of a cup and fully rebuilt it.

I stripped the engine down had the head skimmed, valve re-seated, i mildly ported and polished the head and matched the inlet.
I went for a techniclutch and got the flywheel skimmed and lightened.

While the engine was out i removed the powersteering and fitted a 1.2 rack and r5 gtx alternator bracket.
I also removed the abs fitted the brake line master cylinder and brake bias from a cup.
I cut and removed all the un-used wires and plugs.

I built the engine back up and fitted a new cambelt kit, dephaser pulley, head gasket kit, plugs, leads, oil and filter.

Put the flywheel clutch and gearbox on and got it ready to put back in.

Engines back in and running sweet, i made a new throttle cable and bracket which works so much better and is alot smoother than standard.

Im going to get a set of 421 catcams soon and im going to remove the dephaser pulley and vvt get a group n cam locking tool have it live mapped and hopefully it will be near the 200bhp mark.

Ready for some track time in the summer.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Nice progress, should of fitted the 421's when doing all that work. Bet it would saved a whole load of hassle!

 

[Dan519]

Techniclutch

Looks excellent apart from that

[tel88]

It seems fine atm, have you had trouble with them then?

 

[Dan519]

yeah seen a fair few issues. They're refurbished units and they're rarely even as good as standard, let alone the upgrade they claim.

 

[Harpham]

Just looked at your initial pics. Car looks great. Im surprised that I really really like the sun strip on it!!

Cheers mate yeah the sun strip is actually needed because I don't have the sunvisors any more.

Techniclutch are the worst clutches ever , I would be taking that back out and replacing with a genuine clutch , I guarantee it will break to pieces within a few thousand miles , I hear so so much bad stuff about techniclutch , great car though apart from the clutch
