Fair enough I wanna completely rewire mine so when I put high beam on all 4 light up

Haha yeah I taking the hard way with completely different bulbs but it not that hard to do

No worries always flood having someone to help I think

1800 that a mere scratch at what I spent so far but I dont think anyone can match Dave with his k26! Love the mod list and trust me will only get bigger haha looking nice thou

This is how I done it if you see what I mean

Oh yeah been looking for ages but what badge is it that fits the rear of the mb coz I want the one that has the red background and I can't work it out and dont wanna just buy one and find out it doesn't fit where my original one goes please help

Tbh I have really touched them for ages haha but yeah managed to keep that but had to put it in at an angle to fit I just hoping when I go to fit them they dont catch on expansion bottle or power steering pump

That sounds like a stick issue mate if it works until it fully pulled

This is money from my mb2 hope it helps

No worries happy to help and yeah that is the hard part haha if you need any info pm me I'm happy to help

Well didn't do it all myself haha I work n the office more than anything but do get hands dirty more often than not haha but this was to much for me so the mechanic done most of it I just finished off wiring etc and got it done cheaper that way but it no what you know it who you know to and have to say well worth the swap but make sure the engine you buy isn't knackered haha and like I said in an earlier post may be worth taking head off and doing stem seals as so I been told they are what causes the smoking and burning oil

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if I spend at least 1800 quid and there still more to do as it burning oil and gotta sort out idling the list is never ending

Oh yeah spent 600 on engine then bout 500 on extra parts that I didn't know I needed plus Cam belt water pump clutch then I can't remember how much more I paid haha not a cheap thint to do tbh so save up and dont skimp haha plus if you got cam belt off maybe worth doing stem seals and headgasket just for precautionary measurement. Also make sure you get same obd as your car else causes problems hope all this helps I think it obd2a

Yeah it fits make sure you get engine mount from mb6 as ek4 one different make sure you get engine loom. Try to get a p30 ecu with jumper harness saves messing around with immobilizer. Get rear engine bracket aswell as it different. You have to run a wire from ecu to vtec solenoid as there is no vtec wire ecu will have to have one wire vtec conversion as p30 is 2 wire. Get all of gearstick not just bit that comes attached to gearbox. Driveshafts fit. Iacv is 2 wire and ours is 3 if I correct watch my thread to see if I work it out haha other than that think that all I done if I think of any more will post up

Well guess I know what next job on the list is should of done it all while engine was out really but then how far do you go haha ah well I will get round to it one day

Haha that a good idea but It makes it harder to work on engine haha

No I didn't haha that why I got you to deliver it to my work haha

Haha fair enough ah well I dont care it on and looks good

well I went sure which way the brace went on so I followed the pic he sent me or so I think haha

Well my new shiney bit turned up today thanks to Paul for getting it here so quick thought I'd give you a quick photo of it

Yeah I am enjoying it just not the topping up haha and definately thinking of a turbo as want wore performance plus the lack of torque I can't get off the line as quick as somesso want to improve that

Yeah I enjoying it just not enjoying the oil topping up so much haha and yeah I am defiantly thinking of a turbo as I just like alot of power plus if having engine taken apart may aswell go whole way and improve performance of it

Yeah definitely living up to something haha and yeah coz he decided to over take me first I was like wtf so dropped into second and sat behind him all the way was a fun 5 mins haha think I gunna save up now and get all internals of engine revived an may even put lower compression pistons in need more power haha

Well over the weekend gave a good run with a ds3 he couldn't loose me n a 10 mile stretch of road then had a drag race with a 318 and beat it well happy just lost a litre n half of oil thou haha

thanks found it on ebay for fairly cheap so thought i would have it and bolt it on. i asked for red and didnt expect the colour to be almost the same as the car so when it was placed up against it i thought thats a bonus and well happy with it although i should get some longer bolts as the originals arnt quite long enough but it will get there
