Just a little teaser of a new project! Old engine is out and just got back from a 6 hour round trip picking up the 1.8t AUM engine. 20k miles on the clock, k03s, g60 box! Hopefully get it stripped and all checked and built back up this week with a new flywheel and vr clutch, and get it bolted in on the weekend.
Pics of car and engine bay and new engine to follow!
Siiick, so wish I had done this with my mk3 :cry:
I'll bare that in mind WHEN I get a MK1 or MK2 :evil::grin:
Is your blue one gone or something? :huh:
Through all the excitement I forgot to write its not my car! Its my mates! Massive lol, cant believe I didnt write that! I'm doing the conversion with him. Exciting times!
Its currently at the spray shop, its going to be a black metallic-y House of Kolor color. Engine is sprayed and it looks unbelieveable! Will put my car to shame for sure! And all the lessons I learned through my conversion will be used here, so this car should be sh!t hot.
Not sure on management, would like to use standard ecu, but will see what pops up.
I'll get on this one and get it done a little quicker lol! At least its getting the 1.8t, it would have had the standard 1.8 with bike carbs if it wasnt for me and my proding stick :D
I know mate, I was just a bit disappointed that LL wasn't doing it to another of his own mk3s :grin:

Its the color of the bay, its just dusty and needs a clean. Looks mental in the flesh!

Just one of many random things found in Stu's car :D At the time of the photo it worked, but batteries are dead now :tongue: :D
Looking forward to Saturday, depending on when Stu gets the ECU back, could hear it running!

Dan

You should not need that to turn it over, take the plugs out and see if you can turn it over with a normal ratchet.
Manage to un-seize her?

Yer think he did, moves freely now with just the rachet and no breaker.

I know it's totally different engine but my mate managed to un-seize the engine in his corsa and on his mates astra by rocking it back and forth in gear for a while and was totally fine.
