fight fight fight fight.....:boxing:

makes no difference.....

getting the new one in is the pain....

im about 90% through but last 5mm dont wanna move....any tips?! without damaging the mount....

tut tut shouldve got a powerflex one slips beautifully in lol

set fire to it walk away come back a few min later and hit it twice cant be easier lol

Tbh I'd rather know its wedged in considering it holds my engine up.....
Bit funny about stuff like that.

My flywheels not back till early next week :( think its time to work on the white one again....

bigggg update.....

lets start how everyone likes too....

a good bit of flockin!

perfectly aligned with my digit!


one grp n shock fitted seems someone welded on my top nut!


painted inner wing.....new grp n gearbox mount and gearbox fitted!



while i had the tin out thought would try these before paying compomotive 40quid for some anodised red ones!

oh so i was right with the flywheel yay go me :panic:

wiring all plugged back in and hidden best i can...
rain guard back on
grp n engine mounts fitted!
shocks in struts now....and one strut on before the rain hit...

too busy for pics but more progress later!

and maybe some pics ;)

old mount off!


new one in!


one strut on


while taking my inlet cover off this beast flew out.....sounded like a harrier had its own gravitational pull




back on 4 wheels :)


and another engine shot with the inlet painted, wiring hidden.....few little jobs then the dreaded mot!

Have you got an ecu cover?

You need an ECU tray for that....

ive got both ;)

not sure what im doing with it yet, might try get some wheel arch liners and bag it in the wing! if not will be in standard place with a cover

Shit car no friends....

haters gonna hate.....whats a brudda gonna do!

Car passed mot eventually!

now its sorn grazing my driveway in essex..... just need lots of moneys for turbooo time!

Looks epic on those wheels! I need some in my life.

cheers mate....

the car is no longer grazing and is back like art attack!

will be updates coming soon!

well its been a long time since ive been here!!! But im back!

The cars headgasket has finally gone after loosing a water bore plug over last winter,

the bore plug was replaced but about 1000 miles later she finally gave in!

But shes not dead!
The headgasket was replaced along with a new cambelt at the same time!, the water pump was done the previous year....after a drive back and some funny idle issues I took her off the road to buy an mr2 roadster as a reliable everyday car!

that didn't end well....with a snapped conrod one month into ownership!

so while I decided if im going to put a better engine or a rebuilt one in the mr2....I thought the 106 needed some love again....

I never compression tested my engine until today...

with a reading of
215
220
220
218

im quite happy with that!

ive also removed the loom to deal with my idle issue....its down to a faulty wire that when I wiggle it, it corrects the problem. Im convinced its the connectors that push fit onto the ICV and TPS....im tempted to solder some wires directly onto the pins and use spade connectors further down?! has anyone tried this??!

will follow with some pics.....

mr2 roadster + k20 = yes do it

haha the engine would be worth far more than the car.....

I was thinking audi turbo engine....as its a smiliar layout to an elise ;)
