Stani's SR20 Micra Build

Well i hope i never have to replace the water pump belt with engine in car, what a mission! Had to remove the engine mount and lower the engine and remove the crank pulley!

But got the belts on and tight, got gearbox oil in, coolant is in so i decide to give the engine a turn over for first time :)


Received my panhard rod too but couldnt get it fitted


And heres the exhaust ill use at the moment

Got the panhard rod sorted out! Stub had been removed and replaced with a nut and bolt but was no use to me as the bolt was too small in diameter.





You can see ive also fitted the fuel tank in the above pic. Also got the fuel lines in, filter, petrol. So maybe its time to start??!!!! ;)

All set


But then....:eek:


Heres what happened

Turns out theres a hole in the oil filter and its in a really awkward place so ive no idea how it got there :confused: New filter ordered, also need a new battery so hopefully next video will be it driving as i couldnt get the chance!!!

Cheers
 
I think I'd cry if I got so close for something like that to happen then

And its a minor setback, it starts so im happy after hacking all the wires out lol just wish i knew if it drives or not!
 
They look similar yeah, dont have any spare ones unfortunately so looks like it will be at least a week before i have time to get back to it.
 
Should have lengthened the secondaries mate. Good work though gutted when I saw the vid. Not long now though. :)
 
Ive had a very busy last few weeks but i got a few hours tonight and its done! New oil and filter, new battery, new track rods, bumpers on, new reg plates, all bolts checked over....

Phone died not long after so no videos of the drive but all is well! Didnt quite open the taps as much is id like to but better safe than sorry. Car has surprised me more than id expected, the pickup at low speed is just awesome, feeling really excited about whats to come with the car!

First off ill be picking up some suspension as the standard shocks and springs was a scary experience! And same goes for the tyres, i have a pair of federal 595 rsr for the front so will get some new rubber for the rears then get the car along to crail to enjoy whats been a hard few months preparing the car.

Then time to take it apart again haha!

Thanks to all who have helped so far :D
