Right fellow zoners, I'd just like to say a massive thank you to Neil (nelly). He the man!!!!!!!!!
He has just helped me complete my engine swap from a 2 ltr to a 2.5
including close-ratio gearbox and lsd
it took all of today to complete the lsd was a right pig to get in
but we got there eventually the damb thing took 3 hrs alone in the freezing cold with our toes and fingers nearly falling off but we got in. Getting the engine in took at least an hour, the rest was pretty straight forward. We had minimun tools and done it on a kind of slopping drive all so i could make it to my first meet at aces. Once again a big thanx goes to neil for his time and patience and also to sarah for letting me borrow her husband. I am well chuffed
lets see how it goes tomorrow at aces. But there will be no messing about on my part i will be taking things very slowly cause my brakes are still a bit dodgy need to put in a new master cylinder
When doing this kind of thing alot of patience is required which people did neglect to mention a few times it did get a bit hairy and we nearly gave up on numerous occassions
but we perserved and got there in the end even though we nearly got frost bite
Any wayz look 4ward to seeing some of you guys and gals at aces goodnite. Ps i will be in a white cab.

Hello zayyan, the skirts are zender and very rare
i have only ever seen them on mine, i saw a set for sale a while back in australia. I prefer them to tech2 purley because everbody else has them. They are very subtle and in keeping with how i want my car to look. Anywayz see ya at aces provided everything goes allright on the drive down.
