^ I wonder if it's only in one year? Another weird part is that I have AC. Haha.

 

Some fresh EGs in this page!

 

What spoiler is this?

how do you like this combo

 

Well, the last BIG purchase was made:



Thanks to Hybrid-Racing.com as usual. Hands down they're the best company out there for those swapping (and those not for that matter). I've been using their parts since day one.

My only excuse now is that I need a cordless impact wrench (or compressor to power my air one) to get the damn axle nuts off. Then I can start making progress....



Steve

 

pfft, breaker bar + jack handle ftw!

And sorry to hear drew!! Such a sad sight seeing your hatch with damage

 

Seriously, this works for me. Steve just unbolt the handle from the jack, there a bolt in the bottom. Throw it over a breaker bar and jump on that shizz! Be sure to undo the axle nut stake so that it's round once again.

 

I use a 3/4" ratchet with a long metal pipe stuck on the end of it and can always get them off. The key is to put a dab of anti-seize on them when you put them back on though. The end of your axles tend to get surface rust really quickly.

 

I'm doing it with the wheels off...probably my other mistake. Damn thing keeps spinning.


Steve

 

You'll need someone to sit inside and hold the brakes for you.

 

Did that...STILL spun.

 

Hmmmmmmm. Buy better brake pads?

Put wheel back on and lower car on to ground and hold the brakes?

 

^ Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. I'm replacing the pads and rotors, but I want to get everything off and cleaned up first...


Steve

 

Put a decent size flathead screwdriver in a vein of the rotor, torque it to use the caliper as leverage. Also, a torch helps break some of that "crap" up.

 

 

Been a project since 09. Hope to get it done by next year. Bodyworked and painted by me.

 

Paint looks really good.

 

Nice page so far! Love those concave P1s

Yep do that, works every time

 

God, your car is gorgeous Haylex.. Keep it up!

 

Thanks man. Good to see you back in an EG, how it should be

 

The new motor looks pretty clean inside and no marring on the rockers. The bottom end looks nice and clean and no scoring on the cylinders either.



I got my longblock painted last night and mocked up all the parts. I might have this thing in the car quicker than I planned.

 

Wow dude that looks amazing! Glad that you're keeping the same theme.

 

Thanks! I made my mind up on the black on black on black theme for the single cam over 7 years of trying different stuff, so figured I shouldn't mess with it too much. Oddly enough I kinda like the look of the OBD-1 Valve Cover and am going to strip it and paint it gloss black with flat black letters for a spare.

 

Damn motor look's spotless very nice.
