A few of you might recognise this motor. I had it a few years back where it made 128bhp on JKM's dyno :whistle: Good ol' TSR.
Now it's been fixed and tuned properly now its pushing out what it should have been :afro:
The story behind this goes, mate bought it, spent a fair wack of money, needed to get rid of it, I picked it up, sold it to another mate, I regretted it for 2 years, bought it back.
It does need a bit of work done to it. I'll be documenting the journey from now until I have finished it.

Speedo
So started this morning at the long list I need to get through. First on the list was finding as to why the speedo wasn't working.
My theory to start at the source paid off. It was looking right at me. The drive unit wasn't attached :shocked:
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e46/Adam135/IMG-20130417-WA0005_zpsb51373c3.jpg)
When I slowly pulled it out with the fear of the cog dropping into the gearbox, the inevitable happened and the f**king thing dropped into the depths of the box. Balls! I can just about see the bottom of it so need to get some very long nosed pliers to grab it.

Popped to halfords and got the grabber. What a life saver! Although it took some patience to get the bloody thing out. But alas got the bad boy.

All Sorted now. Fitting it was a ball of a job. Getting it just right and enough to get the bolt in took a bit of fiddling. Glad I now have a speedo. Next up is the grill.

Nice fella, wish I still had mine best colour for the mk2
-
Shame! I want those wheels! :grin:
-
Nice to see a Mk2 on here (too many Mk4s :laugh: ), looks alright too.
-
Looks a good project :smiley:
-
What you do with the MK5?
-

I regretted selling it. Hence why it's back.
Shame! I want those wheels! :grin:
Very rare wheel. Worth a pretty penny aswell.

:afro: That there is, that there is.
Looks a good project :smiley:
Long old project. Anyone know of 'laid up' insurance?
What you do with the MK5?
Got bored of it...
-
Looks sweet, i have a itch to do a MK2 version of F17BAD
-
Looking forward to seeing how this goes, love the mk2 :smiley:

Bit of an update just waiting on the bolt for the speedo cable. It would seem its never had a bolt in there since the box was fitted by TSR by the state of the support and hole.
I'm need of some wheel advice. Its currently sat on some 3 spoke Borbet Procast. I've never heard of them and they are In
need of a referb so not keen on keeping them.
On the mk2 what looks better16s or 15s?
-
16's IMO
-
Either are good, personaly for the money you cant beat a good old set of BBS RA's or a set of G60 steelies!

Both bore me a little. Might go down the BBS RS route, but it's been over done to hell. Not one to follow the crowd.
Thoughts on these on the MK2, 16s only not seen them on a mk2 yet. (http://www.3sdm.co.uk/collection/collection-005.htm)

I think they would work, very different choice.

You are such an indecisive woman it's unreal. Don't you ever moan at me again about me changing my mind. :lipsrsealed:
