Thought i'd put up some progress pics.
When Mark at Ramus was about to start building the engine back up he noticed some of the rods had turned blue due to heat. So manage to locate another three rods.
Heres some pics of the engine being built.
I got a call last thursday to say the engines been fitted in the car and that it started and ran well.
It has brought up error lights now its running. After being plugged up on a diagnostics it came up that it needs two new lamba sensors and valve lift actuator sensor. Also the rear anti roll bar seemed to be missing so managed to get a second hand one cheap.
Mark had a look around the car to see if theres anything that might fail the mot. All of the tyres were really cracked and some with very low tread. Managed to get 4 part worn michelin pilotsports n rated part at a decent price. When the tyres were being changed it was noticed that the rear springs were cracked.
Being m030 springs due to the sports supension these had to be backordered from germany.
Hopefully all the sensors and bits will be delivered and fitted by the end of the week. Then it can be taken for a test drive.
Have picked up a few goodies as well.
Got a new cayman wheel. Been looking for ages for one in sea blue.
This what it should look like once fitted.
Managed to get some good nick second hand rear led lights aswell. Gonna get front drls soon.
