drive bolt as in hub nut?? just disconnect the lca from the subframe, disconnect the upper control arm, dislodge the shaft from the gearbox and pull the whole lot out as one

thats the way i done it

Update: ITS IN have the b16a in and the wiring loom threaded into the bay, still S*!t loads to do but getting there, should have the majority done by friday i hope, still need a TPS but hopefully the 1 thats in it will do til i get one!

So ihave the b16a in and settled, wiring loom is all back in, engine is all plugged in brake booster and mc are in, basically everything but the rad is back in the engine bay and some of the air vent units are back in behind the dash,

pile a dirt i got from behind the wiper motor

dunno if these came standard or are aftermarket can anyone shed some light on it for me??

So todays update: (Sorry forgot the camera again

)

not really got much done, rest of the stuff behind the dash is in, ecu is in, rad is half in, both subframes are in and drivers side hub is half in!!

Tips:

take off the front engine mount before ya put the rad in

put in the rear subframe before ya put on the linkages

remember to drill the hole for the exhaust sensor, havent done this yet thankfully the linkages are still out!!

will get pics next time i get a chance to go at it which probably wont be till monday
