Right bit of a massive update!! This parcel will be arriving in the new year and it's something I've been after for years!!! Can't wait now!! Let's see if you can guess what it might be!!
I'm going to be running hydraulic suspension
Actually can't wait!!
Will spend a while playing with it before I've perfected it!!
Well it seems to be vanos time!!! Like I don't actually have much going on at the moment any way haha
all started with orionocco and it's poorly bottom end!
Then engine has been stripped pretty much naked apart from cams, crank and a few other odds and sods, I took the opportunity to remove the vanos from it!
Then I got a besian seal kit from hackengineering and set about rebuilding it!
All done and could say I'd happily do it again! Pretty soothing really!!

Looking forward to getting it on my car and rebuilding that one!!!
Might aswell update the orinoco here as it's pretty much another work project anyway!
As you all know the engine came out and got stripped for parts, in the mean time Gary (the boss) has been thinking what to do with it, lots of ideas sprang to mind but then one made total sense!! S54!!!
So yesterday myself and Gari went to pick up an engine from an 05 car with 30k on the clock! This thing was fresh as fook!!
Today my self and my mechanic spent most of the day doing a few odds and sods on the engine to get it ready!
Around 11 o'clock we had this!
And a little while later we had more stuff like the rad, aircon pipes, steering rack, and other odds and sods on!
This is how she currently sits! We shall be using fly by wire throttle and will be making our own custom loom! To get this running is going to be a task within it self but in the end will be perfect!!!
