Your using Ostrich? Nice. I was about to do that but i decided to go with megasquirt. How's it working out for you?

 

covered the bottom lip of the front valance with blue painters tape to cover the missing chunks. i was just bored, it looks cool lol.

 

Worked on cleaning up the oxidized paint, contemplated selling it

 

put 16" fuchs from my 924 on my 944.



Put it on a hoist and checked the underside was all ok.

 

....give me your euro bumper


nice wheels. the difference between 15 to 16 inch fuchs are very distinct, to me at least.

 

nice. Little bit south of Tamarak for me. Some "decent" swell out there.

 

hooked up my EBC
set up a fuel adder to work with my 2 step. 15 psi at takeoff ...... check ....... = Tire fryer
made an air filter heat shield

 

Bolted in my new dash.

 

Removed the torque tube and pushed out the driveshaft on my S2.

After briefly using Clark's method for banging out the shaft with a mallet (very slow progress), I figured that there must be a better way......

Also found that you only need a 1.2m long piece of galv pipe, and using a scissor jack is way better for your tt and way better for your arms.

Also found that the front bearing bushing had completely disintegrated - only shavings of plastic remain.

 

A friend on a local forum did this for me


this is a previous one i had him do of my 924 turbo (CGT replica)

 

holy crap thats cool hahahha

 

Removed the oil cooler in order to replace the seals. Currently stuck trying to get the connecting pipe out, damn thing will spin in place but refuses to pull out of the engine block.

EDIT: Got it out, but I have to buy a replacement as I had to damage it in order to get it out. Good thing it's only a $10 item.

 

Tried removing the bearings from my torque tube. After 2 hours of manual wrenching I got all four within 10cm of the end and couldn't get them any further. This procedure sucks. Will have to try with a 16mm threaded rod instead of the cheaper 12mm one I bought that just twists under load. Might also need to buy an impact wrench and compressor.

Did I mention that this TT rebuild procedure sucks? I could rebuild the engine in less time when you consider all the parts that need to be removed.

EDIT: Got the suckers out finally - all by hand. Front bearing was cactus - middle 2 good, back one about to fail.

 

Assembled the electronics for my digital boost gauge, and installed my Curtis event counter(Knock Counter).. just need to wire it up to pin 15, turn my boost back up and refine the fuel and ignition maps...

 

If you haven't completed this job yet - there is a write-up over at the other site describing the process. Might be a little bit of information there of value. It's a thread entitled; "Got Milk(shake)?"
