340R Colin's Honda Conversion

[Gourlay83]

See if you lot can talk some sense into Colin,

First,

He wants a 6" exhaust with no CAT . Tried to convince his this was a bad idea but he isn't listening.

Boost Tube ( Thats the horrible sand/sh*t attracting Snorkle thing) - Should its Stay or GO

Oh, and what bits of the kit do you get for £2400 and what do you not bother with? That's a big difference to the £3700 on their site.

Around the £ mark. He could have done it for a lot less but with the upgrades to the Exhaust/Engine & Driveshafts its pushed the cost up.

I was going to give Colin a price for the whole lot but decided against it. I told him we will do the conversion in my garage and that I would guide him through it. That way he knows how to maintain things like the Driveshafts etc rather than phonning me with the slightest of problems.

However, So far he has fitted the Gear Cables but took him 3 hrs and lost a pint a blood....

Yeah it is,

No Fuel or Coolant, manifold or Baffled Sump. Craig had a Clockwise one which he sold to Colin (as part of the Engine Deal).

Basically - Only Mounts, Gear Linkage, Driveshafts and a couple of thread adaptors.

I thought that was pretty good value as it is good stuff with a warranty. The only thing I wish they would change the Inner CV gators to the smaller ones and insert smaller breathers. (If you read this James - Your inner gators are too big)

Dan,

Do me a favour and edit your post to take out the price of the conversion.

Just incase Colin's hasn't been completly honest about a couple of things, Which of course he hasn't Mrs Murray.

Stop posting and get converting

[Gourlay83]

I've been working my ass off all day !

Gearchange is all done and adjusted
Driveshafts are in
Even looked at the wiring ...... then thought F*ck that and opened a beer.

Waiting on Colin getting a couple of parts to finish off the main bulk of the conversion. I will be finished next week but waiting on Jim for the exhaust.

When will the car be ready to drive Alan?

[andyc]

Ready for him to blow it up at Tut Towers?
Keep up the good work

Probably 2-3 weeks, depends on parts arriving/being made on time. I would prefer to run it in for him and make sure everything is checked then re checked before I let him loose.

Pity, I was looking forward to driving it at TT KH whilst the kids were out in N3.
