About time.

 

Going to throw the motor in later tonight.

 

If you would like to go backwards. Studd your engine...

 

I already did. Got the motor in but got some issue with the oil cooler, where does everybody mount theirs?

 

One on each side - Gotham Racing kit.

 

That is a beautiful setup!

 

dave, nice rally lights.. :-)

 

Hah, you suck! I removed them from the present look probably due to all your badgering But I must admit, it looks much cleaner. Still a work in process but here is a shot:

 

your shroud/bezel is coming along nicely! (on the head lights)

 

Thanks. They were already done once but the body shop guys want to make a kit out of this so they redid them so they are perfect. I have a build up thread on the conversion here:

It's a pretty good probability they will offer a GB soon.

 

Update: I had fuel leaking issue last weekend I finally fixed it today so the goal is to get the car started this Saturday or earlier.

 

As for pics of my setup I cant come close to David Hayes pics so I have to keep it confidental

 

You bastard! I say post pics or this thread fails

 

I will post pics once I clean up every oil and dirt stain left by my hands.

 

IT IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!

 

But got some coolant issue that needs attention



IT IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ok I have a problem, I can't go into any gear when the motor is running. I think the fork might be bent but can't confirm until the motor is out. So do you think could be the problem?

 

I had that issue on my second gen and it turned out to be the pilot bearing had seized onto the shaft of the transmisssion.

 

If this is the case it would be hard to pull the motor out right? It will be Saturday before I can start the pulling of the motor.

 

Yes i had a horrible time seperating the engine from the transmission.

 

Last time I pulled the motor cause of the coolant leak on the stud the polit bearing are ok. I really think the fork is bent though.

 

Could be, i can only guess based on what you tell us.

 

It look like the pilot bearing are ok but the pressure plate has a big wear where the throw out bearing goes to it. I'm going to compare the fork tomorrow so why is there massive wear on one side of the pressure?

 

Send the pressure plate to ACT and installed my backup clutch kit. The motor is in but just didn't have time to start it yet. Also the ebay wastegate LEAKED so I toke it out to dismantle it going to put my old greddy wastegate today. I order another ebay wastegate for backup

 

Well here is mine 20B FC pics and my cousin's 20B FD.
