In and interesting turn of events this may move this weekend.

Contracted in some help so we might have something cranking by Sunday.

Don't even get your hopes up players. It will probably blow a head gasket, seize or someshit.
And that's assuming Danmans wiring doesn't set fire to it and ruin my sparco race seat.

Gotta reinstall the fuel system tonight and have to work out what the f*#k I've done with the ECU.

More engine and mind changes than one of my builds.

I whole heartedly endorse this product and/or service. Would approve of it more if OP would stop putting ECUs in places so safe they cannot be found :lol:

Lol we are getting there.

So. In the interim cause I'm an impatient c*#t and everything needs to work now.

I searched around for a running 4ze1. 100 shituselesscunts and a few out of state motors with bhg.

A mate sent another mate a message and 6pm yesterday arvo I was in possession of Gemini motor number10321434532xs

And my 2nd Pizza.

In typical me fashion there's none of this f*#cking trailer it bs surely I can get it in the boot of my falcon.

Re-arranged the missus s*#t. Guess what.

So anyway now begins the long haul to try and get this to work.

Was looking for something and found these pics to
Gemma being keen for skids
Image
And a random one.
Image

If elkin gets here anytime soon the motor will most likely be in and start hooking into the wiring.
Then the next stage of the nightmare continues.

P.s no stress lads the 4ze1 will return

Yeah well that was the plan today but didn't happen.

We pulled my HD clutch of my e1 to start stripping it down.
Looked at the pizza. f*#k the idiot that had it at some points removed? or not put a rear main seal in.

Elkin did a stella job of tracking one down in about 10mins. Anyways slight mishap with Jack Amys dog.
He decided to eat something bad and left us an excessively disguisting watery present on the back seat.

So spent the majority of the afternoon cleaning his car.

Some progress with it either way. We've fixed up a few things and get the timing sorted correctly

Got some things to do tomorrow am but once the clutch is aligned will slip the thing in.

Next drama is what to do with the clutch cable. The bracket I have on the 5speed won't work on the mse 4 speed.

Thoughts? I'll actually finish the fuel system as well. It's ready to go just sitting waiting for me to connect the lines in.

LOL! Yeah Gem generally looks at me and makes a displeased noise.

She also dislikes riding in the white Gemini.
It's too noisey for her princess ears :lol:
