Engine In, Engine Out... That's What It's All About!

[impact_blue]

Well well, here we go with the pictures! I have video too, but will need to load them when I get home! Andy is in meetings all day today, but i'm sure he'll have something to say when he gets home!

It started at 8am. We rocked up to the house of a mate of Slides in Molendinar (Gold Coast). Promptly parked the car half in/half out of the garage, and started to pull shit off.

I spend the first few hours sitting on a pile of tyres just watching, taking many pictures...

After awhile, it was time to hook up the chain and rip the big girl's heart out!

Time to work on the engines while they're out, changing injectors, turbo, manifold etc...

Ready to go back in...

In she goes!

Aaaaaaaand ofcourse the panadol needed for slide to continue to operate as a human... and my shoe, and the bucket of oil which I stepped in

Well folks, that's it. MASSIVE MASSIVE thanks to Aaron for all the work you did (more steak coming your way soon pal), and huge thanks to Chris for letting us use his place (hope your dad didn't go too rank about the oil spillages ). Big thanks to Jarrad and Brett (?) for helping out too! Jarrad you're a machine!

In just 20 short days, supra james... not long now

well done anna

what was the reason for an engine change?

ummm, well... there's a lot of reasons Andy decided to do it... Main one being he didn't want to be at a track event in some other state, blow his engine, and have to pay hundreds to have it towed home, then thousands for a rebuild. The engine itself was several thousand cheaper than buying the parts and having it all done at a later stage. Other reason is that it's been runnin kinda shitty for a while, so instead of waiting for disaster to strike, and it costing more, we figured it'd be best to do it now, while it's still fine, and get more money for it.

I don't know exact details of all that has been done, but i'm sure Andy would love to brag *ahem* I mean, fill you all in later

I must admit I was doubtful but when I saw the cast of this epic, I was sure it would end well. Jarrad made good time to get to the photoshoot as well. Ingenius use of mulch saw him get up a very tall gutter in his very low car!!

Can't wait to hear about the whole process on Tuesday night at dinner!!

[SirSkyline]

Next time Im going to bring a ramp

OMG yes! And some better jacks. The ones we used were shit AND then later on after they took it for a drive, realised that they'd forgotten to bolt it to the engine mounts! Ahahaha!

The other one will be sold as is (I think I found the reason it was running crap) They dont come much stronger than the engine in there now
