Its hard enough trying to fit a box on your own with the engine removed lol
^ yea let alone with engine in
ahh well - still high in spirit lol -
will get it done tomorrow, buy some Comma AQ3 gear oil, and take her for spin... do a bolt check, check for leaks, make sure I can select all gears... then onto the next thing i need to get done before Saturday!
i take it you mean next saturday as its saturday now lol
yeah, thats right... Saturday 8th :)
want to get box in, seats in & on rails, polycarbs in, spray floor of interior, get rainsports fitted to spare cesaros!
all in a week you should have plenty of time to do that
Should be cool, i look forward to hearing that gearbox next Saturday :cool:
Hewitt, you owe me your first born daughter!
Take it you don't have a engine hoist then ??
lol
nope - no hoist, just two jacks.
in all seriousness though - couldn't have done it today without the help from Olly & Steve - thanks both loads if you read this
within 10 mins of Olly being here, we'd had a bellhousing bolt in, and they were mated, first time, then went in for a coffee then Steve arrived and we continued
unfortunately we had a bit of a disaster with the passenger shaft/ cv not going in due to over exagerrated shoulders on the circular circlip - after 2x brand new CV's - and a bit of effing and jeffing - we were rocking
(also after a trip down to motorfactors to buy more inner CVs lol)
set up linkage, went out for a drive, first of all - my god a plate diff is awesome in comparison to an ATB, feels great the fact its always engaged, much more torque steer, but i love that, kinda tells you "HEY IM HERE - DONT YOU FOOKING FORGET ABOUT ME, ELSE I'LL HAVE YOUR ASS"
very very happy, noise is awesome, diff is amazing - next up is a paddle clutch me thinks!
oh - had to lose speedo aswell, so will be looking how other plate diff users have made a speedo up, due to not having a an open cog in the speedo drive hole! any idas?
again - massive thanks to olly & steve again
bring on donny...
