You have been enjoying yourself! 

 

Is that the spare going in so the other one can get some special treatment? 

Yes that's correct. Had a good once over, timing belt, valve clearances etc.

Was allowed outside to mess about with my car again today. A rare treat. Connected all the last bits upto the engine now and about ready to turn the key and see what happens. Just wants some fluids in it 

And then back to dynodaze to get a new flange on the downpipe as have changed the turbo.

I've had the Front arb and gear linkage powder coated to match the rear arb and there was a fair bit of slop in the shifter which I'm hoping I've sorted now by making a new bush in the universal joint. And also fitted poly bushes to the shifter stabiliser. Feels great so far.

It's had new clutch master and slave cylinders and a hel braided line.just bits and bobs I felt it wanted. Can't wait to get back out in it

Looking good mate! Lovely build this one ;) 

 

Can't wait to see the finished result....if there ever is such a thing!

Haha kinda in its third phase now. 

Plan is to build the forged motor up again and aim for more power.

Shame to pull it really. Pleased with it as my first full engine build. All looks mint inside when swapped sump and cam cover onto the new engine. Held up well, plenty of abuse. 15 psi of boost and track days etc. Look forward to it's next iteration.

Well just waiting on fluids now and it'll be ready to turn the key. Engines back in and ready. Hoping it's ok as not been run for a very long time.

Had to change a front wheel bearing. 1 year old and let me down. Loads of play.

Looks menacing ready to hit the street again!!

No not really mate. Maybe 1500. Last time I took the car out. Went to caffeine and machine. And was driving along at 50mph. Suddenly steering wheel was shaking and droning noise. 

 

Suspected driveshaft but turns out was bearing flapping all over the place.
