Zac is a top bloke, went down and found that I need:

Rear main seal

Top radiator hose - Got this thanks to Zac I will fit it when the car cools down.

Gearbox leak fixed - little leak @ the back.

Cold motor was the cause of the missfire I will run the factory coils until I cbf swapping the yellow jackets back in again.

Zac our trusty little handy helper :)

Great to hear mate. I'm pleased to hear it wasn't anything major.

Means you can have a bit of driving fun once repaired ;)

Oh and Clint, with that hose fitting just make sure there is no crap on it and no coolant is on that sealant

It's ok if like a drop or 2 but it's best to have it clean

And let that sealant sit with the clamps on for a good hour before any coolant is put in the system, just for the extra sealing strength

Didn't stop me from having driving fun, was being gentle on the way home though.

Could of been really bad so big thanks to Zac.

    • Totally agree here @groovezog! There's advice and there's advice, sometimes the latter doesn't take inconsideration use case, budget, time, effort etc. If we all wanted the ultimate track car with a dry sump, big displacement, we would just go to the nearest Porsche dealer and buy a 911 GT3 RS (that's if they even let you these days lol).
    • There is absolutely no way to tell. What we can tell you is that it is an RB. It has a single, low mounted turbo, so it would seem likely that it is an R20 or 25, but it has RB26 inlet side and valve covers. As it is clearly a frankenstein, it could be absolutely anything. It is unlikely to be good, unless the person responsible for the painting was not also responsible for the engine. That bracket is not a bracket and it is not broken. It is the top end of the suspension upright, connected to the outer end of the front upper control arm. It is your suspension. Take the wheel off and look at it.
    • I took the liberty of downloading the pictures:
    • Hot plugs not being a good idea in a massively boosted engine?
    • Put some more sleeve/hose over the top of the brake line for protection and let it rub? Make a plastic or metal nozzle to provide the last little bit of length of duct. The nozzle made to clear the brake line, the cooling air hose shortened to keep it away from the brake line? Make a short hard line to move the end of the brake hose away? (by far the best of the easy options).
