So i picked up a wrecked 2004 gt3. I know u guys would perfer me to fix the car but it has changed hands a few times and is missing too many parts to revive. I am gonna swap the drivetrain, brakes and uprights into my 2000 c2. I am all set as far as the swap and conversion but im having trouble finding info on what to do while the motor us out. What little info i have is it has 70k miles and the valves were redone at 40k. The coolant pipes are welded with what appears to be the sharkworks kit.

I am planning on replacing the main coolant hoses running to the engine. Is it worth searching through the PET drawings and replacing all the engine hoses?

I will also change out the oil cooler o-rings.

Is there anything else u should be doing? Plugs, coils, something else im missing?

If there is already a good thread out there please direct me to it as i couldnt find it.

Thx,
Aaron

 

Check out my build thread from last year for a pretty good lost of things to do. Good luck!

 

Replace all the rubber hoses. Unless it's been done before, this is 17 year old rubber. Replace front and rear main seals, coil packs.

 

Found it and printed out the spred sheet, thx.


Pretty much confirming all my thoughts. Thx

 

Coolant expansion tank

 

So to finish this thread i wound up replacing all the coolant hoses, coil packs, plugs, coolant tank, oil cooler o-rings and put a detent ball in the trans (turbo guys said to do it).

got it in and running the other day.

 

I would have also changed our Rear main seal and water pump while out

 

Yea i forgot to mention i did do the wp and factory temp t-stat. The rms was dry and the clutch has 15k on it so i didnt want to pull it apart. Ill do the rms when the clutch slips in a few years.

I also upgraded the slave pivot bar with the rauch and speigel part.
