(EDIT) i do now have a build thread (Battered, Faded, tired GL) or something like that

[MrJacobsSedan1992]

Near future plans for my BBS RA wheels. what do you think?

[FarrellEF91]

i reckon they would look pretty damn awesome on a sedan

so last weekend i decided it was high time for a Transmission oil change. Heres how it went down.



The drain plug was easy to remove just the end of a 3/8" socket. bit tight but wasnt half as stubborn as the fill plug, pictured top left just where the driveshft meets the gearbox. it wouldnt budge so i resorted to finding the speedo plug.



What i thought was the speedo plug turned out to be the reverse light switch. I think. hah but you live and learn i guess.



Here is the black shizz that drooled out of my gear box. rekon atleast 30,000 miles in there.


So, now to fill her back up. I had been recommended MTF-94 from Mr Lucas Tunnicliff. much appreciated buddy.


Now to devise a solution to get the oil back into the top of the box. Being tight on cash i had "borrowed" some macky donalds straws, taped them together and hey presto!

works a charm! haha
Here is the oil going in. 2.2 litres.

Now she runs a bit smoother. Gave me peice at mind that its all done now

[MrJacobsSedan1992]

Yesterday was lovely and warm. 23 degrees down here on the IOW.

Decided to clean up those lovely Carb tops, grabbed my self some metal compund and metal polish and various polishing heads to fit a drill and went maaaad!
50/50 shot.


Takes a while to buff them up. took me maybe 2 hours i think. so much fun though.


Finally on the car to finish the day up nicely

[MrJacobsSedan1992]

Finally got my Powerflow Exhaust system sorted out,. full stainless, straight through. woop woop! What do people think?



Good ground clearance, skinny rear silencer. Speed bumps, I no longer fear thee! hah hah

[MrJacobsSedan1992]

Bit of a mess around with a massive friggin' Pipercross air filter. Im warming to it!

[Gizmo]

That Clamp needs rotating on the exhaust i can see hanging down

[MrJacobsSedan1992]

Oh yes! Needs rotating, They are pretty useless things, always fail on me.

[MrJacobsSedan1992]

Been a long time till an update, got some new bits for the car. Will get pictures up soon. JAE is so close now!

[MrJacobsSedan1992]

[MrJacobsSedan1992]
