[j3pz]

man i was wondering where this thread went. your car is sex

I got a red Samco rad hose if you are interested . Only the upper one though, changing to a polished pipe and the silicone one was only used for like 300 k's. BTW that red Soarer, thats your friend with the Turbonetics GTK right? Tell me more about it on MSN sometime

 

[disturbed1]

unfortunately the build up was pretty much already done b4 i posted on this forum so theres not really much to update and when i do - its nothing to exciting

this should change however when im ready to go built motor and weld in cage

reviving this thread from the dead...

car used to have tein ha's which got replaced for about 6 months with cusco zeros. always wasnted a set of aragostas for the soarer so just ordered some today of yahoo auctions so have an anxious 8ish week wait for those to arrive


they look like these

also ordered soem titan cam gears for a bit of wank factor in the engine bay as the stock ones just dont cut it

 

[mk3design]

Glad you revived the thread! Awesome car!!

took it for its first drive yesterday....... still has the squealign noises suffered before but after about 20 ks they have gone away. making me think if its the bronze shifter fork pads.

gearbox felt real notchy at first but seems to be bedding in a bit. downshifts beautifully but still not sold on 3rd gear upshifts, just get the feelign its gonna crunch big time if i dont slowely let it slip in when it wants to, esp 3rd.

im a bit concerned that although i took 3 mm off the rear clutch hub so it doesnt bottom out, im wonderign if when i press the clutch and theres a bit more room for the plates to move around.

tried preloading the clutch slave lat time to see if it wasnt releasign the clutch enough....i think that fucked up the seals in the slave (leakign a bit of fluid) so off to buy a new one on money.

heres the motor as it sits...so happy with the cams and no backing plate look. just need to make up some aluminium hard pipes for the radiator and mount the fuel pressure reg somewhere closer to the motor as i hate it on the strut tower.

cant wait to fill up all the holes in bay and give it a respray!!

Be careful, have a real close look at your top rad mounts. Mine were grounding out on the rad, the koyo mounts are too narrow. Mine suffered internal corrosion and had a good 20-30 tiny pinhole leaks.

 

[disturbed1]

even if the mounts were fully insulated, the actual core of the raditor sits hard up against the chassis.

how long did it take for yours to corrode? had mine on the car for about 2 years now.....

 

[briggsy]

looking good mate i think i have sone blue samco hoses in the shed, ill have a look for you

 

[Xistant]
