  1. Finally i have swapped my ugly, rusty, totally fxxxed up old fuel tank against the new one that was stored in my garage.

    There was no more time left for the swap...the old tank was loosing fuel everywhere...!!!  :shock:

    Monday after work with a little help of a friend of mine the operation started...car on jacks...me lying under the car most of the time.

    Took around 2 hours until the new tank was installed. Finally an important point on my ToDo list is finished and i can

    drive around with a full tank again...!!!

     

    Haven't seen this for a while:

  2. My engine is noisy even after correct valve adjustment too. It has been like that since I've owned it in 2009.

    I've been informed that it the lma's that make the sound and it's nothing to worry about. It's still healthy just noisy

     

    Thanks for this post...i totally forgot about the lma noise problem...!!!

  3. Thx @ all...i need to get the tank fitted next month - so i can move on with the next things that need to be done...!!!

     

    Next important point in my ToDo list: remove rust from all chassis / suspension parts and paint or powder coat everything.

     

    My biggest goal for 2014 would be to get a new paintjob for the car and a replacement engine...!!! 

    My current engine doesn't sound like it's going to live forever...knocking valves even after 2 times of valve adjustment...???

    Otherwise the engine runs great...does not need much fuel and oil...good acceleration.

     

    Weird...any ideas...???

  4. Long time no see  :grin:

     

    My slomo project actually is more like a time-laps project...!!! I had so much other things to do and no time for my Aerodeck.

    Ok...but family comes first. I'm still driving around with the rusty hole in my fuel tank...it works as long as i'm not filling up the tank more

    than 50 %. The "new" tank is waiting to be installed...all rust removed and painted with rust protection color.

    Still more than enough to do on my daily...!!! Hopefully i can get some more things done during the winter period.

  5. They should it will prob be the back mount that will need to be modded a little ,

    Remember a k swap will cost and there is a lot to do and things can and will prob after to be custom and the cost can go up as you doing it and up , and for half the cost you could do a very nice blown engine :)

    That said ( just letting you before you do ) if you want to do one go for it

     

    True words...i was thinking of building a blown D16Z6 but otherwise i have always been a n/a fan...!!!

    Plus it would be the first Aerodeck with a k-swap in germany (not 100% sure about it).

     

    My biggest worry: Conversion Harness / electronics...this is definitely something i will need help if plug & play doesn't work.
