Scott Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Awesome steering wheel! I really like the dished ones, id get one if it wasnt for the tiptronic buttons It's a custom wheel.... well to the point where I strongarmed a TRD horn into it and painted the yellow band red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Looking good Scott. Is your airbag light staying on? It would if I didn't have the delete module. I have a wire in one but I've just bought a plug in one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Na, not yet. It's literally the gearbox and a fuel pump away from being finished though. It won't take me long once I get started. Baby number 2 has kinda slowed progress to a halt for the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 An update After a LOT of pestering from various people, not least of whom was my Wife, I took a day off today and got the finger out. Initially I was going out to re-organise the garage and to give it a much needed tidy but it just grew arms and legs. I was checking out the clutch on the gearbox and then thought, why not just give it a try. The issue for me has been that I can't put the gearbox on my gearbox jack while at the side of the car, as the car is too low even on the axle stands. So all I had left was brute force and ignorance. Lifting a V160 gearbox on your side while trying to manoeuvre a jack underneath is not easy, I can assure you, but I got there in the end. I did take a proper photo of it but it's not came out for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 The good news is, while I was under there today I found a new project for me to work on for one I'm finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Yoga? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Yoga? Not quite but now that you mention it, the gym wouldn't go amiss The rear subframe looks like it's spent a year underwater so that will be my next major job. I've got all the wishbone bits for the rear and I also have a spare subframe so that's what I'll be tackling next. That should keep me busy for a little while longer I've also got a big diff to fit in too but I need to get the driveshaft and propshaft first, which are tricky to get.

Scott Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Gave the new stoppers a wee clean Still not sure on putting them on or not. The UKs are on there just now and have served me well, so I might just sell them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
