Here a small update again;

So.. And finally an update for this project again. Have been very busy at work so the only thing i was able to do was getting the front suspension off.
At the moment i'm looking at mounting the new camberplates and the brakes. But i'm stuck at the wheelbearings. For some reason i first got the bearings for a 968 which are way to big. Now i got some other bearings but they are to small!
The inner bearing has to be 60mm and the outer bearing 50mm. The ones i got now are 59 and 45.. So that's something i have to figure out first now..
Than on to the fun parts; Things i've got inhouse now:
Turbo; Precision T6262 Vband in/out
BOV; Tial BOV Q
Wiring Harness; AEM Full Harness
Triggerpack; AEM 4cyl triggerpack
Bearings; Glyco main and rod bearings
Pistons; Custom 8.5CR Wiseco pistons (still at the engine builder)
Headgasket; Custom Cometic head gasket
Studs; ARP Headstuds, ARP Rodstuds, Raceware carterstuds
I also started with parting out the engine bay. Got the headlight mechanism off and started fitting the buckets. Should come out real nice!
So here for some pictures of the car lately:
Where is this going to fit?!?! AAAAHHHHH

So here a huge picture update. Have been busy with the suspension/brake upgrade.
Engine builder has ordered the valvesprings and the rodbolts are still on their way. As soon as they are in the rest will be build and we will finally see some real progress!
As soon as there are more updates i'll let you know!

You're not the only one! I hope the rodbolts will come in soon and the valvesprings will be in this week probably, than the final balancing can be done and i can start putting the engine together!
