So it's been a whole working week now. Is the gear in yet?

[Mrk_Mickey]

Bahahahhaha.

Nah dude. It's actually been a whole HSC MUSIC PRACTICING week. I'm busy with (less important) stuff. This all goes in on the saturday/sunday of...two weeks

Update, for Trent's sake.

My headlights are foggy. I'm re-siliconing the edges.

Nah for real...I might go put the new fuel filter in if I can be bothered.

Yeah bro, I'm so totes helping you do that shizzle yo! ....Only if it's not between my HSC exams though!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Alright, I got bored. I'll give you guys a quick update of where we are now

So far, we've ripped the engine bay apart, installed the new clutch, installed/REPAIRED the new timing chain (old rails....eek...) and the box is back in. All we have left to finish off (hopefully all tomorrow) is bolting the starter motor back on, bolting driveshafts back together and ancillaries. We should get it done in time to finally put my new COILOVERS in the car too

Anyways. /yabbing on, here's some pics!

Some bolts just don't like to come out the traditional way...:

Here's the box out after lots of swearing(WINNER!):

uhhh...why don't my gears work?

Old timing chain:

Old vs New....One of three old rails that had actually SNAPPED (good thing i did this when i did....!!):

Timing chains replacement:

New chains:


I'm so glad we did this ourselves... (thankyou Mischa/Pedro/Jayjay) I'm really pleased with our progress - albeit a tiny bit slow - I've saved myself heaps of money and gained stacks of knowledge.

[Mrk_Mickey]

So now I've just gotta wrap my tyres (looking like next week) and bolt that growler exhaust on!
