How long did it take you? Did the plan work..............was waiting for pics and updates.

Good stuff guys. How long before its gonna be running?

Spektre 04-02-2013 11:20 AM

timeframe is:

Spending a romantic evening on Valentines Day night to dry ice the sound deadening with the mrs...

After that, pull all the RX running gear out incl engine, sell off

clean, spray etc all the parts we got and bolt together then get it rolling again.

order roll cage and wait for it to arrive

whilst waiting, keep buying things to put on it to get it a 'rolling shell' so it can get welded up

after that put it all back together then research engines and ecu's

Massive day yesterday in scorching heat in WA.

Got a buyer for all the RX running gear so it had to come out... This was great timing as we were just about ready to start preping the shell for cage works etc!

Engine, gearbox, front brace, rear brace, diff etc all still in the car. So i put on cold drinks and beers for the boys and wwe had 4 of us go at it for most of the day... 10am till 3pm was not a bad effort... thanks to the doctor, bob and jester for the help!

Have sourced the 4 pots and 2 pots from a member on Rexnet and they are on their way, dogbones have been sourced from a local guys in WA for the rears...

List to do;

strip and clean running gear again. kept most of it together the intial degrease but will seperate all of it to get a thorough clean.
replace all bushes, looking at powerflex kit for gc8 then get whiteline alk and rear sway bar links
degrease and prep engine bay (cv boot were split in rx so grease everywhere)
strip sound deadening out (valentines day romantic dinner with the mrs!)
source rollcage
source dba 500 rotors for front, 4000 for rear (new) HEL braided brake line all round, project mu H16-03 pads
source tarmac coilovers (std brand - 10kg front, 8kg rear)
