The only thing I'm scared of is the clutch plate coming loose, 3 of the bolts stretched so I replaced them but I'm worried the rest might let go.

I'm trying to find a picture of how the wiring gets tidied up, I took photos on my phone when i pulled it out but it crashed and I lost them all.

Have been reading along since you started, just unable to comment as I haven't got a clue.

Gotta say man, hats off to your persistence. I can imagine how nerve wrecking it would be to be doing the assembly of your engine for the first time, so the fact that you've pressed on with it and not payed someone else to do it despite not getting any help from anyone here is quite impressive. I do hope it all goes well for you, hopefully those dog hairs don't cause any trouble laugh.gif

Ok this is all I have left to do/buy.

Engine mount nuts for the bottom side (don't know where they ended up), set of belts, 3 bolts in passenger side drive shaft, dump pipe bolts/studs, fuel filter, fit turbo oil drain, buy some hose for the cam breathers.

So yeah should be doing my mountain run on Friday night.

Brain fart again. My car has an imobiliser. F**k im stupid. Just warmed her up and went for a 100km drive though the country side. Got home and turned her off, realized I wasn't in the garage and it wouldn't start :/. Error 21 ignition signal fault, car started 10 times with this fault.

i just did what i read on the net, warmed it up with a high idle, checked for leaks (does have an exhaust leak at the cat to fix but i can do that anytime), then headed for the biggest hills around and loaded it up and down them until i had done 100km (wife needed to wee anyway) and headed for home)

im organizing with my tuner now to get it done asap, ive got my parents car to drive anyway so it can just sit and wait until a few more km are put through it.

my wife was watching the data logging while we were driving and nothing looked dangerous. it made 1-2psi once or twice up hills. although it feels like my hand brake is on, timing out maybe, the cas is lined up with the old marks so it cant be far off, if at all.

other then that, no weird noises or rough running

When I saw the guys do the timing on my car at the shop, they removed the coil pack from cylinder 1, put some sort of a plug from the coil pack to the spark plug then clamped the timing light to that line going to the spark plug. Has to be cylinder one, any induction light will pick up the signal through the wire to the spark and flash when it does.

Bond - yeah I thought that.

Sarge - I wanted to avoid pulling that apart before I changed the plugs for the tune.

I should hear back from my tuner tonight so il see what e wants to do.

Ok just did an oil change. 115km worth of driving

There is about 15-20 big pieces of something. And the oil has a generally glittery look. Millions of tiny particles. I've kept an oil sample.

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
