well the insurance is up at the end of the month. massively unsure on what its future is. would there be any real interest in this with the manifold a gt22v fitted? or even in breaking it.

I could be interested as it is if you took zx as a part ex might need an estate if picasso is getting scrapped

[ash23]

Unfortunately if this went i wouldn't fill the space with another xud lol

whats up with the picasso?

Starting issue, mot due and possible turbo failure again. But it's at garage and starting issue fixed Apprently, fresh mot so just turbo to sort now (if it has gone)

Do you still want this hdi box?

[ash23]

not alot going off with this but i decided to treat her to some gen pug parts

[ash23]

So finally had a day free to have  a cracking at this sorted a few little bits that needed finishing mounted the actuator  etc

Also decided  the inlet on the car would foul the turbo so made a different  one up should work well enough  only got the oil return to sort out now then ill get it thrown on

Kinda proof these things can be tuned for cheaps

Every time I see that manifold its like. "sploosh"

[Uberderv]

Looks awesome, good work on the inlet.

[ash23]

Cheers guys just had some spacers turn up for the nimrods and some yellow stuff pads for the gti6 set up and a rebuild kit for the calipers got to stop better than it is atm

[ash23]

So got the oil drain done with some copper fittings  etc should work really well and cleared  the battery  to the boot to make space looks like only one pik works?

Not much to do now till its fitted 

Fit 6 brake set up and master  cylinder and braided lines
Decide on what clutch to use 
tidy a few bits up and bead new cooler pipes.
wrap manifold with heat wrap.
pull out engine degrease engine bay etc
Fit mani and turbo 
Refit engine and keep on boosting

That manifold is a thing of beauty, great work.

This going to be at FCS?

[ash23]

Cheers chap

Yeah should be there all being well

[ash23]

Engines finally out of the old girl came out really easy  going to paint it up etc and do a few other bits then stick  it back together.  over the next week or so there is a few pictures  but I'll add them later since the forum  uploader  don't seem to work so back to good old photobucket 

[Frosty]

Cutting it fine for FCS

[ash23]

Yeah there's only the clutch to come them a few hour refitting everything should be done way before time

[/URL

[Frosty]

Ideal good work, i look forward to seeing this

[ash23]

iit should be a good show for estates there's  fair few nice ones on here now  

Anyway there was only enough jcb yellow to do the gearbox so the bay went a shade of Hitachi gray I quite like it tbh

[Piggy]

all looking ace!

[Frosty]

Yeah the estates seem to be taking over atm

[procta]

that colour in the engine bay looks very smart!

[ash23]

Cheers  procta.

Well still waiting for the clutch to arrive hopefully  be here tomorrow

Had to keep busy so painted the box with the jcb yellow I had  left.


Also got itchy and wrapped the manifold


And now seem to have a purple subframes and lower brace

[ozonehostile]

Looking really good dude  

[ash23]

thanks zakk

well there is a chance this wont be back together intime for fcs CG have kinda screwed me over. orderd last week and was told the latest it would be with me by is today.well no clutch. phoned them last thing and apparently its not a priority to get it done atm oh Thanks... will be dispatched Friday and here for monday and with events season just started at work thats going to leave me with very limited time to get it back together and dialed in enough to make the drive down.

PS... and body got a new paddle clutch i can get hold of before the weekend?

[ash23]

Well cg actually  came through  after a little moaning

So that meant the clutch  was  wairing for me when I got back from work  so it would have been rude not to put it back in .

[attachment=23484]

[zx_volcane]

Yes Ash!

looking great, bet you can't wait to fire it all up

[Piggy]

that looks ace my man!

[ash23]

Thanks guys I may be after some advice  soon when it comes to fine tuning if that's ok?
