You will get bored of doing the dull much needed bits, then get sick of it, and sell.

Top of the list should be zorst, lows, wheels.

THEN do the gay bits!

Nah I'm enjoying doing this one properly. Already like the exhaust. The wheels and suspension will set me back over a grand so I'm not going to rush into that. More important things to sort first.

meister rs?

i loved mine on hsd's didnt think it was bouncy at all and would recommend them over gaz ones any day as to adjust the height on gaz coilovers you have to put preload on the spring which makes it more bouncy where as the hsd coilovers are adjusted by the platfrom if that makes sence

holdawayt · 3rd January 2013, 19:54

Yeah my heart is set on the HSDs now. Just need to save some cash!

Buy dan (Ed) bradleys. He has had his ages and still not fitted them...

holdawayt · 3rd January 2013, 21:09

Haha might do, don't know why he's not fitted them yet!

Yates · 3rd January 2013, 21:38

always thought these cars are horrid, but loved your old one, retro I think. very low and wide wheels

I did this today and actually had a good time:

All of that for a pigging cambelt and waterpump change. It's the first time I've done a cambelt and it went really well. Next it's brakes!

How long did it take?

holdawayt · 6th January 2013, 19:22

Started at 10 was finished by 3. It takes less time on the models without power steering and aircon but I had to remove all of that to gain access to certain bolts.

Was a productive day though lol

Fair play. I havent got the 'go' in me to attempt mine. One tick out and its bye cams :/

Are you changing the clutch aswell?

holdawayt · 6th January 2013, 19:48

Nope, clutch is brand new. I wouldn't fancy doing a transverse engine, you have lots of room in a longitudinal lump like this.

blackie_2k5 · 6th January 2013, 20:45

seen this on fb today

you going turbo then?

holdawayt · 6th January 2013, 20:49

Nope, no plans to. Id like an S14 in a few years, i can enjoy this as it is. Might look into bodies for the noise but turbo builds arent our families speciality so if it goes ball up I'd be on my own!

bobertmate · 7th January 2013, 15:55

beast.

holdawayt · 9th January 2013, 12:10

Got a bit arty farty last night with the wrinkle black paint.

I really am very low on funds this month (thanks Christmas) so these free jobs are all I can do to keep myself busy.

VexxedVTS · 11th January 2013, 17:43

Was just reading this over on Nutz forum, didn't know you are on here too!
Sounds like some nice plans.
I just ended ended up picking an eunos up the other day and i'm doing the cambelt, pump and replacing the thermostat housing because the t-piece is leaking. Should be doing that tomorrow.
Gonna be keeping an eye on your thread!

holdawayt · 11th January 2013, 21:41

Cheers bud. Yep I'm on here, nutz and edition38 lol.

It's a simple job, just remember to make note of the timing marks and watch the inlet cam when refitting the belt. There's a valve spring that wants to push the cam out a tooth.
