Well done so far Q...

What choice of diff are you going with?


RE: Syrah the Rebel - Quinny1293 - 07-26-2016

I accidentally found a DAM 2886 Box and when i stripped the motor it had DAM3168 stamped on the laygear, when Tim told me to count the teeth and discovered it to be a close Ratio box, so that will be used for now and my DAM5626 box for the SC build.


RE: Syrah the Rebel - Quinny1293 - 07-30-2016

Some spares arrived this week as well.

Yay, got some spares on the mini today, put the boot rubber on, the boot straps, then put the new window channel rubber in as well as the weathering strips.
Thought the heater cable and choke cable looked to bad to put in again so replaced them and put them in with the heater.

Glad they got to you safely Smile looking good.


RE: Syrah the Rebel - Quinny1293 - 07-31-2016

Thanks Jared

So thought I would start cleaning my engine parts, got some plates cleaned up and my head. Wrapped everything in glad wrap for when needed for painting, some will try and remove the paint.

Received my crank back from engineers cut 10/10.

Tapered side looking much better than the one that was in my motor.

RE: Syrah the Rebel - Vinay-RS - 07-31-2016

Is that your GTS cylinder head Q?


RE: Syrah the Rebel - Jared Mk3 - 07-31-2016

I know you've covered the items in Glad wrap, just wondering if you might have given them a coat of oil or something for protection?


RE: Syrah the Rebel - Quinny1293 - 07-31-2016

No Vinay it's just my normal head.

Yes Jared, sprayed some Q20 over it, should that be fine?


RE: Syrah the Rebel - Sean1380 - 08-01-2016

Techtol !!

Well, you'll be doing the engine build soon, so it should be fine.
