lol Micky...thought you lot were joining me on Instagram

Cheers Jura, the next lot of pictures should see it all done...going to e=text Gazza and see if he can send me a couple of photos of the 'box too

 

OMG there is light at the end of the tunnel........

Bet you're starting to get excited at the thought of actually getting to drive it in the near future! Gonna be awesome when its finished

You'll soon be able to go embarrassing Porsches and the like (on track of course )

 

Nope, I don't own an I-tw@t phone, or a Fandroid for that matter, so it's of no use to me as it's not supported by my lowly Nokia.

Do kind of miss your random photo uploads, but, not enough to sign up.

 

Where did you get this key from?

Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-OEM-Su...item2c655533ba

 

Someone should tell him there is secret club with a name
My fozzy now has one as well!

 

Trev I think it will mucho fun once rolling...still a little way to go

Shaggy1991 Mickey has posted an ebay link...he is a kindly soul

Mickey its just a smart phone app...I'm no Apple fanboy

I'm proud to be a TiT Ryan

 

Me too Ian,**** are great
Fozzy key!

 

So a few pics...fits the ignition but the key needs slimming down to fit the locks too


Lots of degreasing nd hot washing done now...one more dirty box load to go



nice clean ported and polish TB


Final bit of engine bling...


A massive thanks to Drew for the AVCS bits I was missing, now I have a sealed up engine which I can go collect on Sunday

Finally a bit of aside...my friend Ross has had his Glanza off the road nearly as long as I have but its all done and rules! External waste gate and screamer pipe means its sounds like a fighter plane too

 

My phone isn't that smart! Knew I shouldn't have bought a Lumia.......

Nice to see a bit progress, and Drew's a good un. He's my MOT tester.

 

Girls with tatoos hmmmm

 

I don't even know what a Lumina is my friend

Drew is a F*&$ING superstar I reckon...shame its a bit of a trip for an MOT

 

One track mind you have...not sure if this link will kill or cure you though

I stayed loyal to Nokia.....

 

OMG

 

Perv.......

 

How is your eyesight Banny?

I think he is happy

 

More prep work...driveshaft gubbins all sorted now;




little old 18g; perfect for running in (and reducing the chance of me sticking it through a hedge..)


And finally a photo that I sometimes doubted I' ever get to post; my engine coming home via 182

 

Flying along now Ian, looking really good

Snetterton November the 3rd, hurry up

 

LOL, I'd not even thought of a track day this year in the wagon Ross...lets see how I get on

 

Been a while...being hospitalised by my appendix trying to kill me and normal Xmas/NY shenanigans have resulted in not a lot of progress...got a few photos though

So engine on the stand in the front room...


Table of stuff to fit.


Final part of my gearbox; main input shaft bearing which wen up to GR Performance to be fitted to the box...


And a big sigh of relief this finally arrived; DCCD PPG with billet selectors


So first job was to put the IM back on after I'd fitted my Carl Davey top feed rails and conversion kit...oh perhaps I won't



The AVCS solenoid plug didn't have the clearance even with a 10mm IM spacer. Steven confirmed that I'd need a 20mm spacer, as he had run this set up on his wagon. Just waiting for some quotes for 20mm spacers back now...so no further ancillary bolt ons until they are sorted.

As the IM was off I decided to go for one of these...I've also got hold of some 17k old MY06 coilpacks from Matty at PolePosition. So essentially replacing my 12 year old 70k coilpack and having the chance to clean up the IM a bit more too;




I decided while I was waiting I'd send the injectors off to Zen to be cleaned and overhauled too...


Finally finished my boot install...now I know its not going to win any prizes but it works


Final PITA; alternator reassembly...when I put it back together with the nice new bearings I think I snagged one of the copper wires and now it won't turn so I have to take the blessed thing apart again

 

Looking good Ian,why not just run 2 sets of 10mm spacers as they are a lot easier to get hold of.

 

been told not too by SMG Ryan...they are in charge when it comes to the engine and ancillaries...they have seen me right so far

 

Seems strange but appreciate your following there advice

 

Mostly to minimise the chance of air leaks iirc...it will be four years 28/01 so not going to fret over a couple of weeks

 

And Steven confirmed he used one 20mm without issue so made sense to me

 

Nice one Ian,hopefully see you on the 30-130 this year

In my best Victor Meldrew voice "I dont believe it"

 

I was just thinking more of a little more clearance Ian,with 2 10mm spacers and gaskets you'd actually end up with around 24mm but I do see that the chance of a leak is higher.
