CustomScoobyIOM Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Helped needed this Sat and Sun for an engine transplant for Neils car. Have an STI engine going in as well as various bits of wiring to do. Anyone who can lend their hand to it will be much appreciated! So far there is me! So it is engine out, engine strip and swap things over as before and engine back in. Also wiring for knocklink, soldering skills prob be done myself. Also anyone got some space to do it! I have my complete toolkit with me. Even if you aint a clue what you are doing, I will show you Excellent time to learn how to do it! Just quick post here please!
Tearz Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Count me in for the masterclass stokes dude May be able to blag Mrs Joels Garage + Driveway if needed?
Cret Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 You know you have my services to help out mate. After you and Neil helped me with mine it's the least I can do to paypack the favour a bit. I'll be free all day on Saturday but I'm afraid I can't offer to help on Sunday sorry as I'm running a barbeque for my skirmish club and I can't really drop out of it seeing as I'm the club president. I'm pretty good with a soldering iron too if you're not 100% keen on doing it Jon. I'll be glad to be able to return the favour a bit.
CustomScoobyIOM Posted June 21, 2004 Author Posted June 21, 2004 Thanks guys good on ya Will aim to get done Sat, morale and all that Jim if you can solder thats cool with me mate! Can we use your spot again Jim is that a problem then? Just bit more open space than a driveaway
Cret Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Will ask the old dear today mate. Stay tuned. Crane might still be there too.....
Cret Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Right, the facilities have been secured for the weekend again.
CustomScoobyIOM Posted June 22, 2004 Author Posted June 22, 2004 Ill have 3 Bacon Sandwiches please Jim Engine being built now.... Puff pant.... Thanks Jim!
Tearz Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 Hey guys, hope my (unskilled) labour can be put to good use at the weekend even if it means getting some grub to the lads doing the real work! This kind of community spirit I think summarises scooby ownership so well, even if you do run into issues you always know that theres a handful of guys more than willing to help as much as they can! :-)
CustomScoobyIOM Posted June 22, 2004 Author Posted June 22, 2004 Well said the guy with a Green Turbo Mines a LARGE Big Mac please mate No seriously, we will need you all the way through Joel, we all start somewhere mate.
Cret Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 A good way of getting familiar with your motor. Adn finding out funny quirky things about them that make all the difference in future (like clutches!!)
CustomScoobyIOM Posted June 22, 2004 Author Posted June 22, 2004 Ha Ha yep! Good thing is Neil had a new clutch a while ago so thats ok!
Cret Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 Yeah but I mean making sure it's connected properly now we know the secret! I'm sure Neil will be supplying the refreshments this time seeing as it's his engine we're doing this time rather than mine....
Jimmy Mc Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 Might be able to lend a hand with this, will let you know for definite tomorrow. If it's raining I might need a lift though...
CustomScoobyIOM Posted June 22, 2004 Author Posted June 22, 2004 Let me know mate 07968447961 and ill give ya a lift matey. Cheers Jon
Tearz Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 what time are we starting chaps? Jim whereabouts is the "engine out" workshop?
CustomScoobyIOM Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 Prob about 8am ish if that is ok with everyone? Earlier then finish early Ballabeg is it not? Or?
Boxer23 Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 8am start at Ballabeg sounds good to me mate. Will the new engine be there?
CustomScoobyIOM Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 Good man. Right guys the plan is: 8am - Start and get the car on 4 axle stands. Strip off engine stuff. 10am - Engine ready to be lifted out 11am - Engine completely out and on the pallet to be stripped of certain components. 2am - Engine ready to start being put back in. 5pm - All done and a healthy Scooby rumble Jim is gonna be doing the engine side with me giving hints etc and stuff and you guys helping there. Im gonna be working on wiring inside the car, getting Knocklink and Boost Controller installed as well as soldering the ScoobyECU (or maybe Jim!) Once the engine is out I will be dropping the suspension on all 4 corners and replacing with new struts and springs (pre-assembled). Might get someone to do one side whilst I do the other. Then once the springs are on etc. the engine in theory should be ready to go back in with alternator, inlet, exhaust manifolds and clutch on it. I will bring my toolkit, Jim has his, if anyone has any ratchet sets, screwdrivers etc can they bring them too? Always useful Oh and I need a DRILL and some self tapping screws please guys. To fit the front splitter. Hows this sound?
CustomScoobyIOM Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 Oh the new engine is coming in the back of the STI.
