going well mate, keep up the good work
Cause i have an omp strut brace going on the car i have been told i would need to mod the sfi box. Dont really want to do this so i bought a power cap. Its ready for some primer now, but im not sure what colour im doing it yet.

Would be better to keep the sfi box but i will have to wait to see if its fits when the engine and strut brace are both in. At least i have got a cap if i need it !
Also got my gbox gasgets turn up so i can put that back together as well.

As im going to be repainting the shocks and springs soon i have been looking for a yellow colour to paint the shocks with. We painted the powercap in the colour i found. Im thinking of painting the rocker cover and the cam cover the same colour.
What do ya think !?!

Cracking thread, some good pointers for me to follow.
How long till it sees the track?
Hopefully sometime after pv, it would kill me to wrap it up before i have showed it off !Quote:

Little update:
Got my hubs back the other day from the machine shop http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif
Had the back of the cav hub turned down to the exact same size as the nova hub (shaft and steps, to fit in the carrier) plus i also turned 3 mm off the front of the hub to get the right caliper clearance.
Save myself alot of money, as long as they work !!!

even powder blasted them aswell http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif
The shaft lenght has not been changed from the cav. I have been told i need a 2mm spacer, where should it go !?!
http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/4/11517173995.jpg
Is the 2mm spacer to prevent the Cv joint from breaking under full lock and load? heard some guy saying that to me but was not too clear as to what it does?
Started stripping the engine to give it a tidy up before fitting. First i had to get it in a nice warm place to work. http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/image...es/biggrin.gif

Im only stripping it to paint the block and tidy a few bits and bobs, not going to crack it open. Well, i am fitting some courtenay cams but thats it !
Nice little surprise, coscast head:

Could someone tell me where to do the breather mod on the rocker. Could copy my pic.

I plan to paint the engine and box both in black smooth hammerite. Will the heat burn off the paint, has anyone used it to do there block before ?
You might of got this by now but im giving everything a good tidy up. So, the bilsteins i bought are getting a nice repaint. Took me ages to rub them back to bear metal !
