it doesnt feel bad :P... my mum also didnt appreciate the large drawing on the
bonnet for the neighbours to see

Progress is slow, i`m tinkering with interior bits and bobs until i get some time off work to pull the engine out of the tungy.

Some parts are also for sale, like the white open mouth grill, loads of parts off the tungy, OEM Hoses - used and new, Decarbon suspension... and so on :)

i`ll keep a record going of progress, hopefully it`ll not be painfully slow

[JRP]

This is yours!!!

Hehehe reminds me of my garage! and my car! top bombing

[Woznaldo]

There's something about seeing a selection of brand new car parts still in bags, laid out in a neat pile, that is almost pornographic!!

Looks like a top project. Look forward to the updates:agree:.

[gtmatt]

very nice seems a bit like my project , renault must love us at the moment , i think all renault care about is the pound sign:)

[philg]

awsome :)

[Kris M]

Ollie, that "uprated" oil pump you have dont use it, Its a campus pump. Where did you get it from ? Alot of tuners used to sell them as uprated when infact they couldent be more opposite!

See here

[OLLIe]

cheers :)

it came with the car, i havent bought a thing for the car yet, all the stuff listed is the stuff that came with it



are the ones CGB are selling also campus pumps?

[Markey Mark (BD)]

are the ones CGB are selling also campus pumps?

Yes they are

[TrixNFlix]

Yes they are

Someone must of said something to bob, so why is he still selling them as uprated?:scratch:

[Markey Mark (BD)]

Someone must of said something to bob, so why is he still selling them as uprated?:scratch:

Because back in the day all tuners were selling them as uprated ones so still following suit

[TrixNFlix]

Wonder how many engines he and other tuners have messed up?Saying that it creates more buisness for them when the customer comes back to them with a busted engine. :sad2:

[OLLIe]

thanks for the heads up guys :)

really appreciate the advice :) wheres the best place to get either a new or overhauled pump then?

nothing worse than spending the cash and building the engine right to have it die :(

Pump refurb kit from bob or the like should do the trick :)

[OLLIe]

spotted those...

and can a mechanically retarded nonce like myself do it?

Even an ewok could do it :)

[Maxwell]

any more done on the car ollie?? will defo have to come up and talk about the decarbons and other oem bits :)

[OLLIe]

out tonight, slow slow slow, i really need the engine out of the tungy so i can get cracking at it.


stupid things like fitted OEM fogs in the bumper, removed the oem unpainted grille and put the open mouth back on, and refitted some amber indicators in the front instead of the clears.

i`m sick of stonechipping / undersealing so i`m doing something else for a wee while then i`ll go back to it.


plus jamies impreza is still in bits and taking up valuable working space :(

and check the reflection of the light... the haze is pre paint cleaner... and the shiny bit is after, this was just the bonnet.. the whole car is that flat!!!

[JRP]

Looking fantastic mate! please for the sake of 70 quid after painting etc etc get a standard grill it would look better :) but all in all mint like mine :)

[OLLIe]

i have a standard phase 2 grille here :) its just currently black :)

engine out of the tungy last night, so i`ve to clear some space and start the strip down then make a list of what i need :)

[OLLIe]

engine is now out and fully stripped down, ready for an epic clean, check and then the rebuild will begin with all new parts.

still needing some parts tho :

Crank (not essential but i`d like a new one)
lightened flywheel
i`m probably gonna buy a head thats already been fettled. missed a few from CGB recently
I need an adjustable Vernier - i cant find mine, but i do have a nice cam
Samco or Similar hoses
Rocker cover - black or chrome or whatever, as long as its mint
