[jpoc_noel]

ok ill put the build thread up for you and hope thats enough

well thats it she's gone away in the unit now and started to strip hear naked

i feel really bad doing it but needs must and better things to come

[jpoc_noel]

after a really good push on the car last night and the massive help from Joe and Mr.fail

THANKS GUYS

so here's the progress so far

after the night before chasing the subframe around the floor for 4 hours and trying to get the bushes out i finnaly rememberd that we have a vice in the unit well 4 of them lol, i shoved it in and got cutting with the hacksaw then a good few smacks with the hammer and bar got them out a treat in less than 10min's (DOH) then came the pain staking job of getting the paint off it until i brought this wire thing for my grinder and the paint flew off so heres the pics now

mr fail him self flatting back the car after masking all the trim

and joe stripped the engine bay for me taking the slaves out and the wireing ready for flatting and painting and took the door off my old car ready to go on the new car as it seems to be better

from this

to this

this is how how my old car looks now

[jpoc_noel]

so update then

after taking the subframe down to bare metal i laid a good 2 coats of zink primer on to it and let it dry for a few hours then put a good 2 coats of hammerite smooth black on the top half and i think it's came out quite good

so with the paint was drying i proceeded to get the engine and box ready to take out

me and lloyd were pretty fooked working on the cars all day and this was about 7.00 pm

so back to the engine after lloyd and adam gave me a chuck and about 2 hours later

TA dahhhhhhhhh

and this is whats left

more later

[jpoc_noel]

quick update

so after a heavy weekend i managed pull the front subframe off now and the engine bay is all flatted back and de cluttered and any unused studd's removed

so this is now in primer

[jpoc_noel]

i had some solid bushes made up that look like this

then started to build the rear subframe up with all the new arm's and bushes

so then i started on the diff i had a small leak on it so striped the back plate off and cleaned it up and put a new gasket on then gave it a clean then primed it up then hammerited it in smooth black

then made a start on the arches

rubbed them down and then a good coat of white

a 40L baffled fuel cell with the sender and lid (just waiting for the swirl pot) and my COMPITION stage 4 clutch

ok not too much going on really but working on the plenum so here how i have done it

you can see the water feed across the plenum? the holes needed to be drilled out by 2mm as the holes in the plenum didnt line up bang on but this didnt cause any problems at all, also fitted the AAC valve with a new gasket and bolted straight up reall nice

so now the piping and i re-used all the pipe that i already had from the stock plenum any way and the clamps too, use this pipe

and cut this amount of pipe off

then the other end of the pipe you have this

cut this much off ish

but remember mesure twice cut once

then i got some plumbers tape (PTFE) and wraped the outlet threads up like this

and inserted it in to here, 19mm spanner was used but dont go mad thinking it will go all the way in it wont, but a goot 3/4 the way in and nice a tight

then the pips that was cut earlier was installed like this

you will also see that there is on pipe lift to fit on the ACC ? you will need to get some pipe to go from there to the inlet pipe from the cooler thet you will need to get made and will be added to the thread at at later date

so on to the injectors pretty much as you took them off BUT replace any worn or old "O" rings and top tip use vasalene (??) or you will tear them and cause fuel leak's, i also needed to open the holes a little on the rail to ease them going in

i managed to buy a Q45 from GARAGE D so i didnt need an adapter plate and loose power with the set up im going for

stock one on the top lol

ENGINE PIPE'S

so down to the engine piping now heres how it looks stock

and took all this off as im going for a spec 1 oil filter housing to reduce piping and the chance of air locks as im running a front mount oil cooler

this is the pipe off the heater pipes that run across the back of the engine, i made a cut here to make it square 90 bend now

and used the supplied joiner here

then used some of the pipe that im using on the AAC to run from the old location of the water pipes and used good clamps and did them up real tight

you can see there is 2 water pipes left to connect ill show you what im doing with those in the next update

thanks for looking Noel@ jpoc.co.uk

[jpoc_noel]

just a little one as im keeping under wraps now

I DROVE THE CAR OFF THE RAMP'S AND EVEN OUT IN TO THE SUN LIGHT!!!!!!

[NA_Goodness]

Nicely done man!! You've done well.

Almost makes me want to keeo my 33!!

[MBS206]

I am envious of how good your engine bay looks with the fresh paint!

I want to do that to mine whilst it's all out, but I'm afraid of not remembering how to put it back together!

[jpoc_noel]

it's pretty easy to be honest, lots of boxes marked up and take lots of pics too so you can go back to them when you need too

while it was all out i did a wire tuck too and took the loom behind the dash then brought what i needed just below the plenum to keep the wires out of the heat
