[Barbbachello]

Surely you could've painted them a more unique colour.

Like hot pink with glitter.

Update time!

After getting the brakes on i went back to doing engine things. 

Did battle with the timing belt a few times before cracking the shits and ordering the Company23 tool to hold the cams. The tool is handy but its not a life changing tool. The cams still can move if you tug the belt enough but i got there in the end


With the belt on i pulled it off the stand and onto a tyre to do the rear main and seperator plate. I bought an impact screw driver to remove the plate screws but to my disbelief i could get them loose with a normal screw driver. Never seen that before. I re-used the plastic one cos i didnt have a spare metal one and she'll be right. Made sure to get the perfect oem squish on the sealant. I then promptly forked up the rear main seal by putting it in too far so went and ordered 3 more and stuff i needed to rebuild my the quick rack and power steering pump lel


Also ordered a new lightweight crank pulley seeing as i was going to be waiting for the seals to arrive i could wait for a pulley. New bolt of course


When the seal arrived the following week i popped it in without forking it up and put on the machined flywheel with new spigot and the old clutch that came with it. Its got enough life left in it to deal with a 25D. New flywheel and clutch cover bolts naturally



And then with some fussing and groaning; got it in the hole. Big milestone achieved


Also somewhere in there we got a new fridge for the house so now have a shed fridge

Given the battery tray had been removed the seams had been exposed. So i spilt some toothpaste in them

Few annual tax refund car part stimulus package parts arrived too. GD STi red stitched handbrake lever


6 speed starter

[Beckers]

You can use a 5sp starter with a 6sp, as long as its a manual 5sp starter.

Keep putting this shitter together, 2050 is nearly here.
