hodge Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 Getting the engine ready for fitting tomorrow. I took the engine off the stand onto the crane so I could fit the flywheel and clutch. Strupped the clutch down cleaned it ready to go on. Flywheel clutch fitted The box bolted to the engine. Slave cylinder fitted with -3an fitting for braided clutch lines. Started fitted. bubble wrapped the engine as not to damage it as it goes in. More pics tomorrow as it goes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) OK guys and girls, well shes in and look totally amazing. Before I post the pics id like to say a MASSIVE thanks to those who helped me get the engine and box in the car, I couldnt have done it without you THANKS VERY VERY MUCH. Myself and bossco spent about 4 hours last night getting the engine and box ready to be put in today. 9am this morning Bossco came back over the start with the car, stripping the front end down ready for the engine. Jevansio and kennyG showed up and in it went. Once the engine was in Jay sloped off to the pub to get lashed leaving us to crack on. It was a bit of a full house by dinner time as Robocar, Samauri inferdel and Supra stevo and his missus showed up to spectate for a while then buggered of leaving us to crack on yet again lol.I would like to also say a big thanks to my son Reece for stepping upto the plate and help lower the engine in when people hadnt turned up in time. To Bloke thanks son. We worked til 6pm and called it a day. Ill let the pics do the talking. Ive taken loads so ill have to do this in 2 hits. ENJOY. More to follow shortly...........

Those are the stock rear arches jamie, ive flared them out to take the 12" rears. I decided to totally underseal them just for a little extra protection really. Ill be fitting the TRD rear arch panels soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
