That is easy done I suppose. To make it easy I could maybe do a cardboard template?

delicious splitter 8-) I considered one of these ages ago but I may leave that to the other project car, or if I rebuild the current engine.

Thanks, yeah you should look at one for when you want to get the most grip out of your set up.

I have been looking for some plastic trim to replace the broken bits on it. Have found this and it should do the job perfect:

Work Begins

Post by Merlin » Mon May 20, 2013 9:53 am

Work has begun on the track car 8-) It was missing engine bits and had no ECU so it had to be transported to it's new home where we will be doing all the work. It took around 4 hours to get the engine out and split it from the gearbox. Now that the gearbox is separate I'll be taking it to the gearbox builders this week to have the LSD and final drive installed.

Some of the guys gave me a hand, they dove straight in and whipped the engine out. I concerned myself with peripheral things like keeping tabs on all the bits being torn off the car and where all the loose bolts where :lol:

The set of wheel dollies I got were awesome :D

I did have grand ideas about spraying the engine bay but with time running out I may have to give that a pass :(
