its been a while since i updated it,

i put a lsd in her,
v8 brakes on,
and the turbo back on

boosting round for a day before the rear main let go starving some bearings (i think)
motor comes out tommorrow sooo ill know more soon!

 

[Calais_5sp]

man you havin some dramas with that motor. hope ya get it all sorted.

 

[PaRaDoX]

nothing outta the normal, rear main gave way badly.... ill get pics of how bad later, lets just say its not actually in the motor anymore

needed to do welsch plugs aswell

 

[PaRaDoX]

well my vn calais is dead, nothing left on the inside

not much left on the outside, all its got left is panels + windows + diff + front suspension (so i can roll it round) heh heres a look

im getting too good at ripping motors out, 1 hour it took me :S

 

[Morton]

Holy moses, one hour? Go you good thing! (shame it isn't under better circumstances)

But seriously, that's one hardcore effort for a solo operation.

Should put it back in then rip it out again trying to beat ur last time. good practice if you wanna join a pit crew

coulda had it out in 5 mins flat... no joke, series 2's have about 4 hoses, series 1's are pains !!!,

when your not too concerned about things getting broken its easier
ill get a interior shot of the calais soon, when i find the right sized allen key for the seats they're out and thats it! nothing left inside it!,

pick up the new car in a week sooo ive got some destroying to do of the calais, cut off the vin no plate under the wind screen today, keeping it as a reminder of the calais


sold the motor yesterday, and hopefully selling the rest of the stuff soon!
