Adjusted height on the coilovers.. Just over 10cm..

Replaced the control arm bushes.. Nice new blue polly mounts.. Car feels awesome..

Plus oil change with filter.. Car is ready for a new owner..

Although I only supervised...
I just had to add it ......

    Installed injectors, fuel rail, spark plug seals, swapped the bottom of the intake manifold around (they had it backwards), drained the oil, put on both rocker covers with new gaskets and put in coils and leads (no sparks yet - just to cover them up).

    On the project engine.

    Looks like youve done the same thing with your sideskirts as I have. Is that a new thing or am I just forgetting...

    Looking great by the way

        :lol: It's about 2mm lower than what it was with the old springs.

        Lowered it 3cm from what it was when I initially installed the coilovers.

        Just gotta lift up the engine, bolt flywheel + clutch on, bolt gearbox on and its ready to go in :cheers:

        Big big big thank you once again to Fraz for all the help. Lawso slept half the time :lol:

        Pretty sure you can, have lifted an engine out that way so should be able to go in.

        Guessing we're gonna have to drop the gearbox side down lower than the engine to get it under and in and then lower the engine.. but I don't know :lol:
