Nice!!!


Matt, what you think of the clutch? I really need to order one soon and not sure what to go for.

Dont know yet mate, not gonna fit it till i get a diff sorted for it. Engine will need run in once all done, so time to get flywheel, clutch and diff in.
 
Thats the point i'm at. I've got a spare box with a diff and 6 speed quaif gear set in, just need to sort the clutch and flywheel.

You gonna use a lightened G60 with it?

Does it look like it'll hold the power tho?
 
Should hold the power i think, but cant garentee it. Just using standard G60 flywheel.

How come your going 6 speed, IMO the ratio's of the 5 speed suit the motor very well.
 
Not 100% sure on the 6 speed yet. I got the whole box and diff for 300 quid, so whatever way i look at it its a cheap diff.

Whats up with the quiafe box bill?
 
Well today i decided to rip the Campra apart

All in a good day only started it at 12.00 today and gave up at 5pm, going back in toomorrow to do cylinder head.
 
Hows your install going?

Good. It should all come together tomorrow. I'm having to make brackets to carry the shift cables ovet the ATP big inlet.

I wish I hadn't seen your photos today, particularly the one where you've got the sump off and are doing your new big ends. I can now easily picture myself doing the same. It's like I'm being dragged down a path and - I -cannot - resist! :D

Also, I'm cross with myself after seeing a picture of your head with the ATP manifold attached. I bought a couple of extra socket head M8 x 25s. I'm kicking myself for not having bought a few more so that I could have pulled most the studs out and replaced. :rolleyes:

The ATP mani is a total **** to fit. I made the mistake of bolting it on which took ages then realising i hadn't put the back turbo bolt in, took it off again which was a struggle and sorted it, to find a month later it started blowing.

Tried to get it back off but the nuts would not come, ended up removing the cylinder head and grinding the sods off. It was a nightmare.
 
good speedy work there!

will be done buy 2m lunchtime by the looks of it!

loving the pics, you remind me of sumone.......thats it, heman
 
Keeping standard manifold for now mate yeah, the budget is getting stretched as it is. But future plans include large port head and manifold.

:lol:

Think iam gonna struggle with inlet vales as they are tiny, every spring compressor i have come across doesn't fit and the one at work is just a normal one.

Any ideas :confused:
