The first thing i wanted to do was remove the engine and gearbox so i spent most of a Saturday removing parts like the radiator,hoses,alternator,starter motor, and loosening the bolts for the bell housing and engine/gearbox mounts and took out the front propeller shaft and left/right drive shafts. the next day i separated the release bearing from the clutch and took out the engine using my older brothers engine crane that he used for his 68 camaro.

so out came the Engine

Yeah im not too worried about the money its just that im paying two car loans and a lot of other small debts at the moment. The good thing is both car loans will both be paid 1 month apart from each other. Just a matter of me prioritising what's more important at the moment

Just this weekend i removed some of the sound deadener off of the floor of the car I've done where the back seats go and some of the driveline tunnel and im yet to do in front of the front seats which im gonna hopefully do next weekend post-73141-13798408287662_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408409214_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408523256_thumb.jpgpost-73141-1379840864621_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408779595_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408894868_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408994569_thumb.jpg

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
