My vtr+s progress engine re-build

[tkdellis]

ive neva had time to start a progress thread but hear goes


i bought the car totaly standard with only 21,000 miles on the clock and this is what it look like





this lasted about 2 months and then i went shopping lol

spax suppension kit
raceland manifold
piper exhaust backbox
supersprint race tube
vts wheels sprayed black
bmc cda air filter
omp upper strut brace
bucket seats

and stripped the car out for the track look








i then got bored of the vtr engine so i decided to build a vts engine and do a conversion to a vts

so hear it bein

i payed £350 for a vts engine and wiring loom

i neva got any pic of what i bourght it like just when i started to strip it down




removed the cylinder head and cams to find they wernt it that bad of condition then i moved on to the bottom end





after it was all apart i send the hole bottom end of to get balance and the flywheel lightend aswell . when i got them back all the pistons and con-rods were all the same balance. the crank was stop on aswell the flywheel was mega light aswell.

went on citunning and order my competition bearing for the bottom end






after spend a lot of money on new parts i started to re-build the bottom end








Then i left the bottom end and moved on to the cylinder head

went for a red and black theam

painted the rocker covers

painted the cylinder head




painted the cam carriers black to separate the head up



Then bought some newman ph3 cams


re-assembled the head after it all being cleand and skimmed




Then went and put the head on the block and put all the other parts on the engine







nice red parts added to the block
