Finally got to the shop today. Didn't make loads of progress but damn it feels good to be back at the car again. First off I posted before about the problems I had with the mounts and bushings for the larger diameter front sway bar. I was so sick of trying to hack it before going back to the UK I had Ken drop it off at the machine shop for this to be done:
I was going to put this on today but I have just had some new rally spec sub frame bushings come in courtesy of RayH and I want to put those on. (Ray I spoke to Robert today and I'm going to pick the bushings up and hopefully get them pressed in by next Friday)
The front sway bar has come out so well I think eventually I will get the rear done as well, but I can't bring myself to pull the rear again right now. I'm going to get the car running and then take it up to Ken's, put it on the lift and drop the rear out when I have a couple of days. I'll fit the rear bushings and get the rear sway-bar mounts at the same time.
We fitted a couple of bits back into the engine bay and then took some measurements for some new brake lines. I left after that to go and see someone about my troublesome alarm on the Type R. Got the driver's door lock cracked and he's going to figure out the remote start, windows and the valet take over switch next Friday. Whilst I was doing that, my man put the wiring loom that we spent that morning cleaning up back in with the nice fuse box.
It is actually starting to look like an engine bay instead of a shell.
