Hectic amounts of gasket maker and the manifolds are on, new oil cooler gaskets and crank angle sensor in. Ran into an issue with the fuel rail not fitting the Intake manifold though. Will get creative and hopefully come out on top.

Been busy the last few weekends.
Finally got around to fitting crackpipe and thermo housing.
As well as this lightweight alternator pulley i have had since almost day 1.
Still a few weeks off. Need a fuel rail to arrive from the US.
Hopefully get Flywheel, clutch and box on tomorrow and sitting in the car at least!

Last 'big day' finished hopefully.
Most of the bits done. Just need to hook up coolant hoses, radiator, downpipes to exhaust, intake pipe and a battery tie down of some sort.
Flywheel, clutch and Pressure plate on painlessly.
Followed by the gearbox.
Quick bit of wriggling around the motor was planted in place.
Spun it over by hand to check nothing hit, like every other time I've changed clutches and that the chain tensioner hasn't bled off. Everything was A Ok at this point so off for Lunch.

Few more random photo's.
Final fitment of 02j shifter, mounted and done!
Coilpack and thick 10.4mm Autotech igntion leads. Along with throttle body.
Coolant hoses, aux water pump bypass pipe and funny coloured trans brace.

Almost there. Massive run around with getting a fuel rail to suit the SRI.
Trying hardest to avoid putting the Schrick intake manifold back on.
Cut out the back of the oem radiator shroud and fitted some slim line fans.
SRI fits with the stock fans, but i wanted less clutter in the bay. Funnily enough there is stuff all weight difference between the two.
ZIP TIE LIFE as Roadkill would say!
Fitted.
Rear shot.
Bent a piece of flat bar i found on the ground as a lower support for the radiator 'frame' as I am not using a reo.
This also helped with some monster gap i had between hoodand headlights
Bumper, lights and Number plate on.
