Popular Post Yowzer Posted September 17, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2017 Ok so I haven't been documenting this car very well so here's a rundown down from the past year or so. The car blew it's third auto trans, so one night after work I put a manual box in it. Conveniently I had everything I needed in stock so it was a quick and easy job. Later I got bored and removed some coils and fitted the above posted AGX shock absorbers. The fronts are SW20 rears, and the rears are some Ford Focus units. The fronts are shorter than MX73 shocks to they're held in place with some T3 spacer top nuts. T3 RCAs are also fitted to correct the lower arm angles. The engine BHG'd over new years (yeah, yeah..) so I put in a spare engine that I had laying around intended for my MS65. It's a stock standard 5MGE but built on a 7M block coz it's a bit stronger and has piston oil squiters, the guy who built it was gonna turbo it. As far as I'm aware the internals are stock 5MG. I then fit an Altezza LSD. Later my rear tyres wore out (funny that) so I bought some cheap Advante 17x7s in the wrong offset and wrapped them in some 215/45 Nitto NT555s. Bought some spacers off eBay to make the wrong offset right, Manu spun me up some hubcentric rings to fit them all together and now I have plenty of grips. I've also had to repair plenty, the brake master cylinder shat out, the shifter position on the gearbag was wrong so swapped that to the correct one, which cost me way more than the gearbox did, rocker covers were leaking, driveshaft was incorrectly phased, balljoints were shot, windscreen was leaking, seatbelt jammed up, radiator split, radiator hose split, heater core split (what a shit job that was), I attempted to revive the AC but the compressor leaked all the gas out aaaaaaaaand probably some other bits. Still to fix is the a pillar rust, boot lip rust, shot passengers electric window, leaky tailshaft seal, very leaky crankshaft seal, horrible engine vibration (pretty sure it's flywheel / clutch out of balance), some of the instrument backlights not working, excessive rear wheel camber, pathetic brakes, pathetic head lights, cracked indicators, falling off boot trim, worn hanger bearing, worn subframe bushes, worn caster arm bushes, and anything else that fails in the near future. Stupid car. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Tonight I replaced the front crank seal and cambelt. That's the old one. Ya can't see it very well in the pic but it was pretty sad looking. Oh yeah and while fixing that leak I found another oil leak and two coolant leaks. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm not a fan of sloppy gear sticks, so I purchased a Cube steel shifter bush thingy and mashed it into a hole. The original metal / rubber bush looks like someone's used a non-gearstick item in it at some stage as it was pretty beat up. It's made quite a lovely improvement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Also pictured above is my makeshift gear stick boot base. A bit of tube, a piece of what I think was once a bbq lid and a stretchy CV boot. It looks pretty meh but it does the job. Hopefully I eventually find the correct manual centre console trim.
