I have fallen well behind with this job now.I had two weeks working down south then two weeks on holiday. I'm back now. I was going to paint some of the bracketry before putting the engine in but after five minutes rubbing it down I thought balls to this. I took it to the powder coaters. These bits.  I was too keen to fit them when they came back so no picture. You can see them when they are in. I put the motor in yesterday. It only just went through the door when I brought it out of the house.  Sadly scratched the crossmember when fitting the engine.  Standard air box.  The old engine was probably not helped by this induction kit sucking sh*t off the road.  Powder coated bits fitted. G/box mount.  Top mount  Front brackety things.  Fitted some new P bushes  Need to replace the rack boot before I re fit the subframe.  That is as far as I got because we went out last night. Today I have been doing the flue on the boiler. It had rotted away.  So I made a new one which goes all the way through the wall with no joins.  Rendered the wall behind it and filled the holes to keep out the rodents.  It has p*ssed down today anyway so I wasn't too keen to go outside to work on the car. My daughter has come to visit too, I have made her look at this thread. Luckily she is too polite to tell me to FO so she sat and looked at it all. ________________________________________ Make tea, not war.If it ain't broke......fix it until it is. |

Mrs Tea is obviously very understanding of your needs. Mrs B wouldn't allow an engine in the house, even though Mr and Little B would love to have one kicking about to play with in the lounge  ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

I replaced the steering rack gator tonight.I struggled to get it on at first because the track rod is twice the size as the hole in the end of the gator. I had a look around and found the end off of a mastic tube. I stuck a punch in the track rod then slid the mastic nozzle on. I had to lube it up with rubber grease to slide the gator over it.  It is on now.  I have got the front subframe back on and new gear linkages and quadrant as the rubber ball was falling off.  It is coming together now. ________________________________________ Make tea, not war.If it ain't broke......fix it until it is. |

Of course it's not dear, you keep telling yourself that. You're young and agile No offense taken, what makes I'm not like that? Mr Tea - out of interest why are you keeping the standard airbox? Looks like you're going to a hell of a lot of trouble with everything else, I would've thought it'd just be easier to slap in an induction kit of some kind? Small point in the grand scheme of things I know, but just wondered. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Small point in the grand scheme of things I know, but just wondered. I am building it to standard spec. The induction kit it had on f***ed the engine up. Has anyone dyno tested a standard airbox back to back with an induction kit? I'll bet there is not a mountain of difference.

Oh no I agree it'd make no performance increase, just a boyish noise thing I guess. Respect on the Porsche, love those old skool 911's.

I came home today and instead of seing this I saw this  My tent which was screwed to the floor had flown off up the yard. That was bad enough but on it's way it took a chunk out of my front wing.  I know it is a sh!t picture but I was more concerned with getting the tent back in place. Trust me, it is a fair sized gouge it has made. You can also trust me when I say I am thoroughly Pi55ed off with it.  ________________________________________ Make tea, not war.If it ain't broke......fix it until it is. |

Unlucky mate.It could be worse though, you could have had your rubstrips stolen and have plenty of scratches where the scrotes went at them with a screwdriver  ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |
