snuck the gearbox adapter in this afternoon.

undersized the holes by alot as with these thicknesses the plasma tends to oval small holes. so i'll need to drill them out ready for tapping and the dowels.

i didnt flow test it, but putting an east-west motor in a RWD car always causes issues with plenums facing into the firewalls so this was to resolve that situation, didnt really want to start mucking around with the factory cast plenum as it wouldnt have been too simple to cut and swap ends on it.

    • I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
    • Not a fan of "racing stripes" really, I've seen a few done, with different styles of stripes, but no, not for me Although younger Mark probably would have thought differently about them
    • The correct answer is body colour. Admittedly it does look pretty handsome as-is in grey.
    • I'm surprised there isn't any interest in this.
    • Por qué no los dos? Body colour red with black stripes down centre, onto bonnet and bootlid.
