Thanks buddy, surprised she's still going after all these years tbh
Yup, I didn't go the whole hog and convert it to 4wd as well, I only had a week off work to do the engine conversion as it was,lol
Done!! Was a bit of a pig but got there in the end.. Took it for a spin, it's REALLY quiet.. Not sure if I have a minor leak from something somewhere, stopped the car for a minute in the rain and was...
Well it's in and running, just need to finess the details like getting the engine covers to fit, sort proper routing for the fuel pipes and bleed my clutch.. Hoping to test run it in a couple of...
Apparently so, halfway through the conversion at the minute so I'll let you know in a few days what actually needs to be swapped. Currently got the turbo plumbing sorted, the engine mounts, just need...
I’m not actually using the Me7 systems, I’ll be adding the older inlet manifold,throttle, dizzy etc.. Basically converting it to run on the older stuff.
As the engine in my R has just about had it I'm going to be replacing it with a 2003 Me7 motor out of an S60, I already have the engine but I need advice on what I need to do to adapt it to the older...
Really? that's interesting as the side that's making the noise is the side that had a cv replaced a while back. I'll have a look when I take it apart. Yeah sadly the cars looking very sorry for...
Been a while since I last updated this thread, cars been doing daily duty getting me to work and back every day, sadly though the miles are starting to tell on her and most of the stuff I replaced in...
Has anyone that's purchased the adjustable drop links had to replace any of the rosejoints yet? Fairly sure at least one of mine needs swapping and I haven't the faintest idea what size to order.
Ooof!!! Nice project!! looking forward to updates!!
So far all is good, thanks for offering though.
Lol.. I know!!.. Odd isn't it!!.. tbh as far as I know I only heard it the once so maybe it was just a one off.. either way I'm glad its still going, too much else to deal with at the minute without...
See.. I said my memory had gone to the dogs, can't even remember what the damn gearbox is called.
My bad.. meant M57 (I think,lol).. old age and a duff memory getting the better of me.
Cheers Biff, yeah its been a really crap year or two. There's tons I want to get done but I've no tools and no where to work on it until I can get moved back into the old house, that's a little way...
Weirdly it's been quiet since so hopefully it'll stay that way.
Manual bud, I managed to get a replacement M58 last time but tbh it's just not lasted at all.. more than a bit fed up of paying out for replacement parts that are already worn out and hence dont last.
Well the cars bitten me in the ass again.. noticed upon leaving work yesterday with the window down that the gearbox is whining its tits off in first and second, I only replaced it a couple of years...
Welcome back bud, where ya been?
Well, been a while since I last updated this..
Since we last spoke the insurance company have decided they're not going to honour the claim because I never told them I wasn't living at the address...
Who's car did this used to be? Sure I know it.
Thanks Ste, very good of you bud. There may be light at the end of the tunnel, the house is still insured and they've tentatively agreed to replace them, not getting my hopes up though until they're...
Thanks Geoff, cant believe just how ££££ the last twelve months have been.
