rotormotor

Big old decent coupe, just needs a better engine

Pretty pleased with my hoard of photos on dismantle and lining up plugs with the associated deleted emission crapola, I have removed half of the wiring in the looms leaving the necessaries to remain. Pic of my usage from purchase around 2007 to where it ceases being a daily driver

FuCkt nats?

Roterek/Omar might have some headlight motors. Prob need the arm, balljoint pivots too? Hopefully the motor plug is still there as it used to run thru the rubber curtained hole with headlight & in my case fog lights plug. Also need the stopper with rubber knob on the back wall. Funnily I just cleared that area out yesterday so have clear pics

Deep Google found it. Fuel pump relay resistor. "It is there to save wear on your fuel pump under cruising/light throttle conditions. Essentially it cuts down the voltage your fuel pump sees when there's not as much demand on it, the theory being that this will help prolong the life of your pump, and may also help with gas mileage. On the S4 TII cars it's located on the passenger side under where the stock airbox resides, just behind the headlight" US obviously. Edit: gas gone, he was surprised how much gas was in there. Cant have had any leaks then cos the belt was removed about 10yrs ago when fit gilmers.

Just gotta make sure 3x heater hose aftermarket from states ok being LHD..looks so from pics. Also find out if this can be deleted. Relay and resistor behind headlight in engine bay

Rethinking a few things. Turned down FD housings over FC due to cost. Been playing on my mind a bit cos inside chroming better finish hence longitivity. Lucky my FC ones not notch yet for bridgeport but oniy vapour blasted. So will bag up and put in their boxes for the day that NLA and worth heaps. Also rethink throttle body. SCR has a much better AM flowing product which bolts onto the lower FC intake. So all the bother vapour, modding throttle and expansion pipe for nout now hahaha. Its only money, todays effort pulling out plugs/loom and other deleted AC, emmision and factory turbo bits..happy cos only have coolant lines for engine block and heater core moving on..much nicer, cleaner and no risk of leaks. Boring pics.. old post engine pulled and current look.

Does it have a manual steering rack or remote electric powersteering pump somewhere? Fantastic choice on the OEM headlamp setup btw.

Nice FC, My teins were a used set from TM HR or something for a grand or something yonks ago. Had to rebuilt a front but I'm looking to replace for BC golds. Got the correct rear lights, are you going to fit the original headlights back on it?

Back in one piece using heatgun to heat the rear casting bearing carrier because bearing was pushed in...heat and rubber mallet done. Allen key to hold in the brushes. Sunlight distorts colour to blue as seen...its actually teal. EDIT: closeup photo seeing the Raggety cast mold dags on the mounting arm is irking me. This bit is pretty much right on top of me motor and visable so I may just dismantle/file/wetsand it smoother and re vapour when i do Diff to settle my OCD.

Interesting you are installing AC fabrication on your van whereas I'm deleting mine. AMobile aircon degasser due nect week.

Painting alternator coil cos that what we do with our rotor accessories.

Then I discovered the blank plates I bought over a decade ago from green brothers when I swapped over exhaust ffs. Thicker but the EGR follows the cast base better, I'll prob get it blasted and replace it when i get my diff castings vapour blasted. Builder currently rebuilding one of his previous builds on a car he sold over 15yr ago. This car https://youtu.be/LdL2i7DrhtE?si=H5QInxKzqZSzLgL0 Dropped HT lead apparently so blew a carbon seal so no iron/housing damage, my keg is next in line..

Then

Fitted the recent procured emisson blank off plates x4 and fit 2x grub screws to housings to blank off Oil metering lines from the deleted OMP (be running premix) Tried tp get grub screws for the oil lines on inlet but they not have that pitch. I can fit just screws but my OCD wont let me give up the hunt lol.

Grub screws/spring delete & coulpa bits I want to dremel smoother, the ledges the deleted butterflies sat on.

And removed the cold start assist with thermowax for better flow on the throttle body and one less coolant line to leak and our moderate climate cold start never an issue. Tapped 2x M12 threads and fit grub screws..also fitted Greddy Expansion tube for future FMIC so have some hotshop Japanese parts to show off lol.

Bought some new stuff Gearbox x member, couldn't be arsed effort to sort it out with new bushes and such so got a reman one with new bushes.
