Like it Busta

Tim

 

Be in touch soon when I've collected some more bits

 

Sounds like there's going to be a boot full !!

Tim

 

Oh yeah, don't forget the other parts I've accumulated too but I'll only bring engine related stuff for you, oh and HDI fmic to fit while you're there

The rest I'll do

 

Well as the nice weather is here

My plan for the car is as follows.

First and foremost is to sort engine out as first priority so I can put it on the road.

Paint, bonnet, splitter, fog covers back to original colour.
Refit proper scoop back on.
Fit medium rear spoiler.
Remover front side tints only.

And then the other bits I've collected like bucket seats, Brembos, ARB's etc etc.

 

That looks alright apart from the bits you plan on changing, I'd add the Darlek gear *** to that list.

Much better place to put your money too, just take it easy for a while once you get it up and running to get to know the car a little bit as Type R's bite back.

Mind you with a number plate like that I'm sure you'll be fine.

 

Bits and bobs will get adressesed as I go along

The plate is going to go up for sale eventually. (Hopefully to a p1 owner with money )

 

It'll be a quick little car when it's all buttoned up Busta.

Tim

 

Aye, hoping a decent point to point car.

 

Well slight update but not much.

Thanks to Alan Jeffrey these beauty's turned up. (More to come).



RCM timing belt kit inc pump
RCM 1.1 head gaskets
RCM 11mm stud kit
Jdm oil filter
Heat 7 spark plugs
Millers cfs 10/50
Areocatch for bonnet
Oil modine

I also had a bit of time to put original bonnet vents and scoop back on (much better IMO)




Just need to get bonnet and a couple of other bits painted (but that can wait till after engine build).
I also put a mid spoiler on but no photos of that as it needs painting (horrible colour ATM).

I also managed to fit swrd 340lph fuel pump, only remembered to take pic after fitted lol



And this is what I removed, the sock had disintegrated from pump and had to fish it out of the tank.



That's it for now, but will update as and when.

 

GOODIES !!!
Pumps a bit of a state buddy,been in there for a while evidently !

Tim

 

Oh yes, love goodies.

Hmm, I'm thinking fuel surge which may have contributed to going pop.

 

That looks so much better without the microwave on the bonnet, still prefer the original spoiler though rather than the mid one

 

Lol,
Nah ive got self ironing clothes so not needed

 

great save with the oe scoop

Only just noticed the plate too

 

Is yours still a never ending story/project?

 

Loads of gaskets arrive (thanks to icp)




Got my dremel ready to cut my carbo bonnet hehe

 

Looking good, what's your plan for the spoiler that came off? might be interested at the right price.

 

It was a carbon one and gone before I collected car.
I've got another boot lid which I'm going for a smoothed look with a e46 lip on. For this boot eventually I'll get a s202/3 type spoiler

 

Well the final part has arrived, thanks to Alan Jeffrey and a great price I might add vs......?



Well just awaiting now to take car to tims (tweeks developments) for its engine transplant.
All being well, this weekend I can drop it off, but he's mega busy ATM.

 

Excitement over a jdm key!
