I think I'll leave the pilot cups in the garage, they are difficult when there's plenty of surface water.

Yeah no problem. Its standard NA power (147) but is only 845kg as its not got much left in it.
This was taken the other week but need to sort and paint the front splitter this week.
Then this was last wednesday before taking the engine out!
Engine out
I took the engine out to remove the balancer shafts, fit new chain kits, lightened flywheel and a lower final drive ratio gearbox. I found a cracked exhaust manifold and aux belt tensioner while doing it though
