FTO AUSTRALIA

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...

Yep, bring him along... The more cars the better.

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.

Lowered it 3cm all round.

f**k that looks way better then last time I saw it in person bro I love it good work

Cheers mate, done a fair bit to it since you last saw it.

And before someone says it. A build thread is coming soon.

There damn well better be a build thread coming soon!
That looks amazing!

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

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.

That looks............Nah I will keep my comments for your build thread

Gave the old duck a polish. Scrubs up alright for a 19 year old!

Needs moar sideskirt lowerage..

Still looks like a 4 wheel drive..

But a clean one at that..

Intake manifold braces on, heat shields on, gearbox cleaned/degreased, new release bearing, degreased engine bay, re-painted peeling paint in engine bay, cleaned out driveshafts, steering rack boots replaced, replaced fuel filter, all belts now on engine, all ancillaries bolted on.

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

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

You can bolt the gearbox on and put it in from the top? I didnt think it would fit?

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
