Bs update... Pulled the engine to strip and inspect, everything is wasted beyond use.. Apart from the housings, Theyr mint.. So I went and bought another 12a...lets see how this goes.

Relooking into this as we are moving shortly and I can't fit all of my work gear, race car etc into a double garage.. Anyone in hamilton/Auckland keen to do a workshop share? Even 2-3 people. Ideally I'd be parking my stockcar and trailer inside, plus my work tools and Surplus materials. Aim to offer up approx 50-70m2 for others to share. Possibility of using my transport trailer aswell. Location would be either Pukekohe/Tuakau or Huntly.

A guy in huntly had it made for his, but sold the engine etc.

Moved house and have been getting the stockcar sorted, so the old girl hasn't had any time spent on it unfortunately. Ready to pu it for a rebuild and putting together though

Page 4, shame... Haven't done much lately due to working on the stockcar to get that ready for opening night... Didnt happen cos the headgasket let go. So back on this today. Got the engine and box fully mounted. Headers bolted up, carb on. Stock accelerator cable will work. Wiring is all in the same locations. Radiator is bolted up to the hunter mounting points, oil cooler mounted. Just need shorter oil lines. Only fab work left is the new driveshaft, and slightly mod the headers to get it away from the steering box a

She's blown a hg now... Faaaarrrrkkk

Is there anyone in Auckland, with a timing light that is able to help me set my timing on the stockcar by Saturday morning? I'm in Totaravale, by Glenfield..

But not an adaptor.. So only 4 bolts, not 8 I take it. Stink

I could anodize it matt black :'D

Can a driveshaft have adaptor fitted at the diff end? Like 30mm spacer (like a wheel spacer/adaptor) that has the eccentric rings or whatever machined into them? Saves having to cut up 2 good driveshafts if I can have an adaptor machined up. I did one many years ago in a mk2 escort with 4age and k50 box, te70 driveshaft, just machined up an adaptor.. But I dold it before I got it on the Rd..

Yeah s1 box. I did that trick yo a s4 box in the ute I built back in the day.

Remarkably, the engine and box went straight in.. With some fighting and cussing. All bolted up nicely enough. Shifter hole is about 70mm off, but that puts it in a better location for reach.

Needs to slight left a little, but I need to remove the reverse switch. It's not needed on the hunter anyway, no reverse lights

Engine and box is mounted. Does need to come back out so I can chop off the factory mounts, thump in some clearance for the fork and slave 10mm if that. And remove the reverse switch. And believe it or not, the hunter gearbox mount bolts directly to the rx7 box. No mods at all on the gearbox crossmember or mount. Dafuq..??? Rx7 radiator practically bolts directly to the hunter bolt holes too. Just need to cut 100mm of the shifter hole out and spin it round.. Too easy. I would like to space the crossmember down 10mm to see if it gives enough clea
