gingergman Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 far from it lol, but got the engine in now, put it in yesterday but had problems with the gearbox mounts? took it apart a few times and finally sorted it today, was giving me a right headache, wouldnt sit properly. also been doing a few other things, drained the oil while it was out and changed the filter, broke the dizzy cap and rotor arm removing the engine so got new ones and new manifold gasket. cleaned up the rocker cover and other bracket. still trying to sort a down pipe as im using a diffrent exhaust! loom is ready but theres a bloke in the unit next door that reckons i wont have to change the whole loom and he is gunna take a look at it. some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alanman Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wicked. I'm actually liking the black inner wings. It would look sweet with the rocker, maybe the cross-over pipe, strut tops caps and a few other bits all the same colour as the body. A nice OMP strut brace in orange would be wicked and some orange samco hoses would be the creme de la creme. Sorry, getting carried away a bit. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yeah I did think about a strut brace painted in the orange, I will probley do that, and maybe a few other things. I don't think the black looks too out of place because of other black bits on the car. I'm hoping to get a big front mount intercooler on it too. I did plan on having it up and running by the end of the month lol, but realistically will prob be the end of January! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tee Morrison Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I don't think it looks too bad mate. I was thinking of maybe getting a few engine bay bits hydrodipped, water transfer, whatever you want to call it. I think it could work on certain parts, but I'm not sure how it would hold up to heat.

gingergman Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Collected an exhaust system for it yesterday, I modded the xr3i one to before, but its only a 2 inch bore and think that's where some of my problems lay! So proper turbo system now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortrs2000.co.uk Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Looking good mate. I've been thinking of painting my engine bay satin black, looks pretty good! You should see quite a difference with the scorpion if you ran a '3i pipe before. But I hope you like your exhausts loud... Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
