Day two… well this is always the part of the project when all those jobs you’ve been putting off from the first day really need doing as without them you wont be getting that engine in anytime soon. Jobs like converting the peddle box to a hydrualic unit, running the new cable change shifter you know the kind of jobs that you really love to hate.. Well Ben took all of these in his stride today, as well as fitting the new lightened flywheel / Clutch to the rebuilt G60 engine along with the 4 branch manifold and serviced G60 charger. All that were waiting for now is the arrivial of our freshly rebuilt o2a hybrid gearbox and the engine will be ready to be plumbed in..

To be continued….

Ok, so it’s not VAG related, but it has got boost, so that’s fine by us. And it’s cooler than cool. This is an old clip taken from the superb Best Motoring series of DVDs. The super-responsive Mines R34 GTR Skyline is legendary, and, after watching this clip, you’ll see why. Enjoy.

GREAT PLATES These take care of the age old problem found on VW’s mk2, mk3, mk4 and Corrado models. When lowering the rear of the car with an aftermarket suspension, the rear trailing arms begin to swing toward the front of the car pushing the rear tires into the front area of the wheel opening. When this happens, tire clearance is severely reduced.
GREAT PLATES sandwich between the front trailing arm mounting brackets and the body to relocate the entire axle approximately 13mm rearward. Installation is very simple and can be completed in the garage or driveway with a jack, jack stands and a few hand tools in under an hour.
Each kit includes pair of GREAT PLATES (L & R) and new Grade-8 hardware!
