Kirk Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) If you're gonna get an engine stand go for the 4 legged one like this. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=251018517977&index=7&nav=SEARCH&nid=78101071496 It's much easier to move about especially on awkward surfaces which aren't flat or smooth such as your driveway!

Cheers Martin, Its going at the back of the house, which come to think about it is equally unsmooth Engine was much easier to take out of the passat than when we did your car - that was a PITA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideexitsupra Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Mike, I got a grey carpet off Keron recently. Was very reasonable and has come up a treat! Jet washed it, scrubbed with non bio Fairy washing powder and washed again. Almost like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Where did you source those seats from? There pretty nice, been after a set of stock recaros but yours look very nice, what recaros are they? Have you had any thoughts on wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Nice to have you back in the fold Mike, i look forward to your build thread. Your old clutch is working nicely (a little more noisey than the HKS), any ideas what clutch you will be going with on the new build?

There pretty nice, been after a set of stock recaros but yours look very nice, what recaros are they? They are Recaro Pole Position GRP. These seats are not FIA approved like the current ones. New ones are approx £600 each plus the Supra subframe. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Great project Mike looking forward to seeing it run! You building the engine yourself? Planning on yes, TBH doing very little with it, uprated head bolts, gasket & cams. Then change the sump over. Thats it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the GTR-Ds but then I would just be copying Chris. Want something different. Would love my old rotas on ti but they dont do them wide enough. - - - Updated - - - Nice to have you back in the fold Mike, i look forward to your build thread.

Funny enough exactly the same clutch assuming there is no damage when itcomes off the car its currently on. Just going with a new clutch plate.
