The higg mister has put in a belter of a time and if anyone deserves it

you do mate....

yes indeed after all the time and £ spent its good to see you get

a nice return.makes it all worthwhile.

i wonder what charlie at the chocolate factory will come up

with to match it?

Good work and at least you have a building to work in

cheers mate,wouldn't tackle this lot on the street

Is that a technical job?

if you have tools etc and some help then probably a days work

at the polo pics

so wiz taking engine out easier than gearbox?

personally i thought it was easier doing it the gaerbox out way,but most seasoned

modders seem to prefer taking the engine out.bit of a pita taking the gearbox out with

no ramp though

Oh right, I see. I take it if you were just doing the clutch, you could do that by taking the gearbox out then?

yes john if it was clutch only then gearbox out would do fine

so why is that engine out of there like that?

Can't belive how immaculate that looks!

last time we done a clutch on my car we took out the gearbox,this time we decided

to do it with the engine out and do a few other things while it was out ie change manifold,

fit spacers,prallel fuel rails,injectors,sump baffle plate etc

ohh who have i confused you with then? thought somebody recently bought a spec c with the intention of upgrading the block?

could have been me i suppose,i posted up a pic of a spare closed deck block i have

on another thread but its only for a rainy day at the moment.

cant believe how clean the paint is in that engin bay for the age of the car

whens the 2.33 going in then jim?

no plans to change the engine mate

unless my hand is forced of course

very nice indeed john

well after just over a week of having the car the fun begins.started off

the day doing a bit of moving other cars about the unit to make room for it

and unfortunately gary's polo has to be shifted elsewhere in the meantime.

not sure how far he'll get in it though lol

before

start stripping out intercooler.radiator etc

probably just as well the rads out the way!

up she goes

and away

new clutch fitted

well that was todays progress,thanks to gary d for the help and terzo neil for turning up

at 3.30 to try and steal some glory!........................only kidding big man much appreciated

back down tomorrow for more

£100. Saturday morning,

let us know how you get on john,i quite fancy getting the rears done like

a smug druggler

personally on the road i just keep it fully open,close my eyes and hope for the best

Who does that? The guy I used before was talking about a grand for soemthing like that.

Here is what I was referring to in the last post... sort of:

must admit graphics are not my thing but with a bit more work

that would be cool mate

congratulations mate

still cant believe your going to name him garrett lee though

I will be there, giving my wee 20L a good send off...

thats the spirit man,get the boost cranked right up

Three words in defence

will

be

and 3 from me

never

count

chickens

The Real Rocket Ii will be the same colour as yours by saturday, then assembly begins, Rocket I will see some service for the forseable future.

---john---

the real rocket II will be something else when finished by the looks of it

Nice loooking car there, are they the same wheels as the S202??? superb looking!!!!

Mac

yea mate same only lighter.the rays on the s202 were made specifically

for subaru and weigh 1.4kg more each,every little helps lol

Excellent news Jim.....

it sure is john,how are you getting on with yours?

you will have to forgive my lack of knowledge who are the hollywood boys>???

the big budget block team

sound man, i have got a few things for mine i want to make it a wee bit faster but i just really want to keep it as a minter i suppose the ra is the one for getting its hole kicked.

our cicumstances are slightly different ie.you've already got a track car

im just trying for an all round track/1/4 mile mile/road car but dont really want

to wreck it.i think it might surprise the hollywood boys

Does yor car even have an engine

dont think you'll be able to push it that fast peter

cheers dude i bet your glad you have your car now at long last it looks amazing to mate when are you brining it through. think your pals comin for your whiteline stuff tomorrow!

starting the work on it next weekend and will probably take about 4 weeks

so it will be after that,once its mapped i'll bring it back through and you can

have a blast in it.should be fun,its pretty nippy as standard

seen the pics a while back

looks a cracker kev

thats some collection now lol

i would liked to have put the spec c up the 1/4 mile in standard form

but circumstances are against me.good luck guys

What was the old time?

13.04 but im sure that will be beaten by a mile

11's no problem
