One more 2wd
Hi guys !
Here is a pregnant garage with a nice baby almost ready to go out
Before to have this one, I had another baby which I loved a lot
But on an icy winter, sideways have been to closed of the car...
So, I took off everything from the car : engine, gearbox, all interior parts and think about the future...
I'm sorry, but it has been impossible to take off the wheel in the trunk
So, few months after I bought a new 2wd, it was a car which wasn't running a lot, but I used it every weekend, changed all sensors and hoses, it was starting to run pretty well, but on a beautiful autumn day, the head gasket decided to blown on a straight line at 120mph... 
Then, it was a good time to rebuild the old engine from my first 2wd, and put it in this one.
So I took the dead one out
and started to rebuild with the following specs :
Bloc 205
Bottom end balanced
Big wing sump + sump baffle
All ARP studs (crankshaft, con rods, head)
Cosworth pistons 7.2
High Pressure oil pump
Cometic head gasket
Head polished and enlarged
New valves and guides
BD10 and BD14 + double springs +vernier pulleys
Plenum AutoSpecialists
Injectors Siemens 83lb
Turbo T4 RS500
ProAlloy RS500 intercooler
ProAlloy water radiator
ProAlloy turbo after cooler
Bloc skimmed and piston-bore gap of 0.1mm lol it will smoke
I also did the plastigage for crankshaft and conrods, and I've been very happy about it as I have 0.05mm for every one
The only thing now is that I have the piston going out of 1.04mm from the bloc because I skimmed it three times in the way to have a good surface aspect...Damn I will have to put a thick head gasket in the way to have a good squish

Little up, I forgot last time to post my crankshaft pulley balanced :
And last weekend, as I started to change the fuel pump loom, I finally dismounted all the inside to clean everything and put back a lot of parts from my old cossie... (dashboard, trims, seats, headliner, etc...)
It was also a good time to remove the alarm, and to remove all the bad connexion on looms made by the old owner
Inside picture with everything fitted soon...

Rear Beam
Right now we have some nice winter days over there, it was a good time to work on the rear beam in order to dismount it totally to get a 6 degrees one, and also a good occasion to clean the underneath to check if there is no rust, and then to have to something nice to work on ! The result is not too bad for a 20 years old lady, and I'm pretty happy about the preservation state...
Here is some pictures :

Many parts from engine has been sanded then black coated except the throttle body and the fuel ramp, received as it :
And following the 65mm throttle body supplied by MK Motorsport, it tooks me a while to get it, but the job is awesome, thanks to MK !

I finally installed gauges into the car, I had them since a while.
What I did, is to take the dashboard lining from the old one, cut a part and past it onto the gauge mount plate, I'm pretty happy of the result.

Hi mates,
I was thinking about to remove the ABS block and then install a pedal box with master cylinders for front and rear. I have seen the one at burton, but I don't know if it does exist others one ?
Which solutions have you fit ? If you do have some pics that would be great !
