Gamer Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I finally got my car back after almost 3 months of no use as I was waiting for the new BL box to get here and have it all installed. I had the work done at Phoenix and I am very impressed with the work that Mark has done for me. This is one of the only times that I have ever been able to bring my car to some place without any major dramas. He did everything I wanted and even more. I highly recommend Phoenix if you need any work done. Work I had done is: Replace the old BL gearbox and 3800 TC with new units Front and rear crank seals Tappets shimmed BL crank pulley installed Unorthodox racing cam gears and other pulleys installed New plugs New BOV Timing belt Fluidyne radiator Twin electric fans with polished fan shroud New K&N filter Hosetechnics hose kit KAD 6 pot brakes on all four corners Fluidyne transmission cooler with spal fan Powerhouse racing 175a alternator New battery New serpentine belt I have also added a bit of engine bling... Polished PS pot PHR Polished plug cover Real carbon fibre cooling plate and fuse cover There is probably a few other bits that I am forgetting but you get the idea... The car seems to be running great now and I am very pleased. The next thing to do is a respray in the same color that I will have done as soon as I can get it booked in.... Here are some pictures.

Muffleman Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Good job mate, must be nice for CJ to see that his old pride and joy is being treated VERY well Incidentally, why did the BL gearbox need replacing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Good job mate, must be nice for CJ to see that his old pride and joy is being treated VERY well Incidentally, why did the BL gearbox need replacing ? I think the problem was that I ran it too hot as I did not fully understand how the TC lock-up switch should be used. I do not know what the damage is on the old gearbox yet. It could be either the TC itself that needs fixing or the clutch packs need to be replaced. I am going to either have it looked at or I just might flog it as is for a really sweet price and the new owner can sort out what needs fixing...
