No the engine is back in and new clutch/flywheel and slave cylinder. Did some upgrades while the engine was out too like new bulkhead heat shielding and catch can setup. https://i.ibb.co/x8rppXHq/IMG-7775.jpg https://i.ibb.co/LhSbtzG4/IMG-7776.jpg https://i.ibb.co/XfpHsp6q/IMG-9220.jpg https://i.ibb...

Hoping I won’t need one with that much torque
I’ve got a big and small dewalt that should see anything off.
All the bits ordered and been offered an engine crane now too so just need to find the time

Appreciate the offer , not sure when I’m going to get the time to get stuck into it, back onshore in 3 weeks then straight away on holiday.

May have to buy a engine crane, man maths kicking in

So an update, I have managed a whopping 291 miles between MOTs

And to top it off the clutch clave cylinder failed on its way to this years MOT. The good part is it’s inside the gearbox which means I’ll need to remove the engine to fix it.

Does anyone have an engine crane I can borrow?

It is very quiet now, I pop my head in now and again and have a nosey

I’ve just taken a Bosch S4 out and replaced it with a halfords 063

Nothing to update really I’m afraid. It’s been in hibernation so I’ve been working on finishing the garage.

Looking to get the silver honda Elise running now before Spring

I did notice the exige was never cramped for me 6ft 3 15stone but my s1 Elise with harness bar was almost undriveable until I spaced out the OMP wheel.

Strange because they are identical, maybe just the feeling of having a bigger car around you?

Top work
Worth mentioning one type is easy to take an apart (I think the TWR ones) and the others disassemble themselves into 20 pieces and are almost impossible to put back together.

Contact cleaner and compressed air works wonders without taking them apart

Here’s hoping you have it running in time for the better weather
