nice to see you back mate :thumb:

Well i have a tiny hicup regarding pistons, but more about that later. Its being addressed.
Also just trying to sort out fittings and plumbing for the fuel oil and breather systems. Its all crazy money, but needs doing. I hope to make some sort of progress soon so i at least have something to show you lot. Ive done sod all on it, since ive been flat out with other stuff all year. (car accident means i cant fly at the moment, and no more comps for this year) So im getting on with the car where possible. :) |
Nice to see youy back on the fold Frayz:thumb:
|
In, out, in, out shake it all about...
Well the 2ltr is back out for the final time. Next engine the bay sees will be the built 2.5. Sh1t progress i know, but gotta start somewhere :D http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._8214849_n.jpg |
are you going to run the 2.0 or is it just for mocking up?
|
Was just for mocking up mate.
|
Great to see some forward progress young Frayz :thumb:

Cheers Si
Did a bit more today. She started off looking like this. Attachment 51295 And not to much later looked like this Attachment 51296 As you can see the bores are in beautiful unmarked condition. This is just cyl 2 but the remaining 3 are in identical condition. Attachment 51297 The block/rods/pistons etc is now for sale :) |
Looks like she's been running rich.
|
The pistons arnt as dark as the pic shows to be honest Daz. I took the pic in low light so makes them appear even darker.
All in good condition for a 35K motor. |
Bores look in very good nick, should fetch some decent money for that short motor.
|
Ive put it up for £500 mate. Shouldnt hang around.
Least it willgo towards somemore parts lol :) |
nice progress frayz, looking forward to see what happens in here :)
|
Short motor sold, :D
Now to decide what to do with my heads? |

I would go for 2.5 AVCS heads to go with your 2.5 short block.
|
Im trying to source some Fai :)
|
The MY05 2.0 heads have larger inlet valves then previous versions, not sure about the 2.5's though :)
|
Well I have just had a sit down and scrolled through this earlier thead https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...on-v7-sti.html and I have to say a lot of that I had completely forgotten about :o spot on I say !
|
Lol, that was way back mate.
Think ive sourced a set of 2.5 heads with just 8k miles on :D My 2ltr avcs heads will be up for grabs soon :) |
Great to see that the project is back on track after taking some "time out".
Going to be some car when completed and IMO up there with the best. :cool: Happy spanners Frayz :thumb: |
Cheers Kev.
Just got to sort out what im going to do heads wise. Tracking down some 2.5 ones that will work is a pain, and finding some EJ207s the same as what i have is proving just as difficult. I can find heads in the US but the cams sensors are different along with the pickups. This would require a possible custom loom or somehow adapting my cams and sensors to fit. Its a royal, royal pain in the ass. |
Frayz has been busy again i see:
BBC NEWS | UK | England | Sussex | Two kite surfers jump over pier Been taking to water now too I see |
Lol, i competed with Lewis Crathern mate. Nice guy.
Although i fly in land, hes a water guy :) |
