Haha that rare jdm bumper strip thingy majig. Thought that was standard????
-
@Chandler say that when I'm driving it and it works. May have been a complete waste of time at this point.

I have got 26mm arb in the shed. But it has the silly ball jointed droplinks.. I'm not a fan off them. I like the straight bolt through types. Haha bless it I feel like I'm polishing a turd with this deck so many dents everywhere rear bumper and tailgate looks like someone's played the drums on it. But I do love it. Great daily for sure. Need to cracked on and get my wheels on etc.

So basically I have to get flywheel resurfaced. The f1 stage 3 clutch disc has a slightly smaller diameter which has left a ridge on the flywheel. Due to the slightly larger diameter of the exedy its gonna be right on that ridge. So I am gonna have to take flywheel in and get the ridge taken off. I'll let pics do the talking.

been busy tonight got the box sorted and all sealed up. Cleaned the case out best I could and cleaned up the mating edges. Knocked out old bearing and removed seal gently tapped new seal in using rubber mallet and 32mm socket. carefully tapped in new input shaft bearing with block of tiiimmmmbbberrrrr. cleaned, oiled and reassembled the shift mechanism and other bits n bobs. had a cuppa and put the case back on checking that it selects all the gears. So far so good that's all for now until sealant is dry I'm not tipping it in case oil comes out and disturbs sealant. so basically this is my previous gearbox which was whiney and had a bad 2nd gear that locked out at high Rpm. I have fitted the countershaft from last gearbox which had a working 2nd gear and a new input shaft bearing.

@philgor how do you mean??? Mine locked when you pressed fob. Now it just locks the doors and have to lock boot with key
-
Bit smarter and yes chrome strip next in list. Need to get in there any who as boot has stopped locking with the doors.
-
Yeah they are weirdos for sure. Unless someone detuned the car? That would be dumb but who knows. Defo 24mm on my deck tho. Have to buy some more. Oh well should have checked first ay
-
Might be some swearing. So need to do after watershed
-
Posty just been. Woop woop woop! My evening is sorted then.
-
what we looking at? My eyes are terrible. Every time they get worse I buy a bigger tv and phone. Sorted.
-
I'm a right grump at the minute honest getting no where. Onwards and upwards tho. Chin up and all that chaps!!! Once this gearbox is sorted. Quick service and then it's just cosmetics. I'm not too fussed about cosmetics at minute. So should be up and running fairly quick Really
-
LoOKs good dude. Just use phot bucket app. Easy peasy
-
Soooo I fitted some new poly droplinks this morning and was also gonna fit new D bushes. buuuuuuuuuuuut turns out my mc2 has 24mm front arb. Is that normal?? my mb6 arb is 26mm. So naturally I assumed mc2 same so ordered 26mm bushes which are too big. Poo. also tightened sump up man bolts were only hand tight slight leak so hopefully sorted that. Also lopped 3" off stock tailpipe. And put chrome tip back on. Looks loads better. Oem+ Destickered the back aswell. Hopefully the deck can shake the name "chatsworth" now. and have ditched the oap radio 2 sticker
-
to be honest dude. I will avoid shopping with them at all costs in the future. I've had nothing but problems every time I've ordered from them. There own brand stuffs badly made crap anyway.
-
Sure exedy will be good. Flipping hope so. Well I'm off work today. Was gonna get gearbox back on. But thanks to tegiwa marking things dispatched when they don't even have it in stock... my gearbox is still in bits so it will probably be 10 days now before I get a chance. Long as it's sorted for japfest 2 ill be happy.
-
Other was from eBay.. had a nice pic. And describe as oem clutch. "these are not cheap Chinese replicas" More fool me.
-
One piece of the puzzle turned up... have to say I'm happy with it much better made than that crap I still haven't been refunded for. Will have forgotten where all the bolts go by time this bearing turns up :/
-
Shocking!
-
V nice mate v nice!
-
Have to agree mg stuff Is great on a budget. I was sceptical but recently fitted on my deck and its firm yet comfyish. And handling is far better. Lower but practical. Bargain
-
Ya can't use a s9b diff unfortunately. Different number of bolts on the fd. Shame already looked into that one. Personally I like the open diff. Only a pain when launching. Otherwise cool. car looking sweet with new wheel colour!
-
Lovely mate fair play!
-
