When you say set up? Do you mean like your old shed, or do you actually mean 'set up', as in so you can find stuff?

[ae8zn6]

I could always find my stuff....


...well mostly


if you give me enough time

[ae8zn6]

Really need to get this finished...

[drift kid]

I rekon, I always check for a decent update

[maxhag]

I see red.........

[ae8zn6]

You don't see it when the bonnet is closed



I'll get around to it soon

[ae8zn6]

Well, for those who don't know there was a problem with the box I had sourced to use for this setup... basically I got sold a dud and had no way to check for this particular problem until the tailshaft turned up...

Next problem, there isn't enough room to loosen off all of the bolts on the bellhousing in order to remove the box with the motor in position...

So, after YEARS of begging, borrowing and... well more borrowing I finally did it:



So, I should have some time this week to start getting back into the car.

First step is remove the box and separate the bellhousing again.

Once thats done I will attach the new (hopefully working) box to the bell and re-install.

That should allow me to test fit the driveshaft to ensure it is correct.

Then I hope to get back into the rear brake setup

So hopefully the updates I have been promising will start flowing again soon

I thought you would have taken a picture of the crane in the back of the zn6?

[ae8zn6]

ahah, half the reason I actually went through with it was that I happened to be in the wagon and had an extra long lunch break!

PS gearbox is out... Such a shame... its so clean for nothing...

[ae8zn6]

OK, gearbox was pulled apart and reassembled yesterday, got home too late to do anything today, but planning to re install it and lift the motor back into place tomorrow
