Obviously parts from Tassie aren't good enough!

not at all mate i like many other people want the most for there money, and i see golf wise is selling his for $450 where the one im looking at is $600 and is complete with warranty low km and will bolt right on plus its closer to me and he will hold it untill i pay it off, and i dont have to worry about postage and the extra hassel well worth the extra 150 bucks i think... just going for the better deal thats all

Sorry....post was made by Golfwise who should have logged off me and on himself after I was using the computer.

Personally don't care less where you get your parts from!!

[finemk1]

well this is the bit ive been waiting for for a while but its in my hands now after replacing many valves. reseating all intake and exsaust guides, so just need to do the cam timing...... which i thought would be done, so might take my a few more days or weeks......... but all the big stuff is outta the way, well nearly....

isnt it pretty!!!!!

[finemk1]

cam timing done and is correct so im on to the build



its might take a bit longer than i expected but atleast im out of the blocks and im happy to get some engine parts out of my room as i was dreaming about them way to much.............


need to find a 1.816v intermidiate shaft pully bolt and a set of cam cover bolts as i have lost or stupidly place them on another planet, ,this is the reason for my delays/// a few bolts..... bugger

[Golf Loon]

seats look good tho

[aprr32]

That head is missing 1 inlet valve in each chamber , 16v no - 20v yes!

[alex g]

ohh yer nice work bro i bet you can smell it at this stage

now get the biuffing wheel out and polish up that manifold???if you running injection that is

tidy

[EndlessMKI]

naaaaawwwiceeee.......

saw how much power do you expect this thing to pump out at the wheels?

[finemk1]

running injection and is all prettied up and what not, bit concerned about the fuel rail (might leak), im probably looking for 120bhp? if not wont be far off.
found all my lost bolts except the intermediate shaft pully bolt, i saw it few months ago and put it some where safe........ bit to safe cant find the fu*^&ng thing
yeah loon seats are nice and really comfy
20v yes but ill save that for my next dub if im still employed then and dont die in this one....hahah (gulp)

whole thing needs a decent wash and a long drive.... cant wait

[finemk1]

well folks the motor is done, and after a new starter motor she started pretty much straight away with that orgasmic 16v bark...mmmmmmm tasty..
fix me clutch worries and im on the road........

[GoLfMan]

awesome man!!!!
lets get some action pics

[worm]

Just stumbled across this one...... updates?

she looks lovely mate. Would love some pics.

[finemk1]

updates,,,,,..i replaced the gear box with another 5 speed, not the same though so it should be interesting with the new gear ratios... replaced the new head gasket with a newer 3 peice one and new BGA head bolts.. pained up all the special bits and peices... then ive sorted out my alternator bracket (headache) still not 100% happy and replaced numerous missing bolts, got a newish radiator, fuel filter, starter coil, leads and sorted out all my wiring... which has cleared the error light on my EMS. but i now need another starter motor i think because it just wont turn over, so ill get that this week..
i also found that the smaller wire to the alternator was broken and a chunk was missing, dont ask....... cuz i dont know
ive looked in the manual to suss it out, but because im running the KR set up the wiring is a bit different, does anybody know where this wire goes ( not the thick one which runs to the battery +) my guess is the fuse box...but where?? then i need to attack the brakes, the booster seems to be playing up, but i havnt had a proper look at it yet, so thats where im up to folks..

soon my pretty sooon

[Golf Loon]

Is that extra wire the one for the starter??
