savage bulldogs Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Bought a "Cam style" stud extractor to try to avoid having to drill it out but it wouldn't budge, even with my 1/2" breaker bar 🤬 So old skool drill and 're tap ftw , guess I'd better get some better quality bolts for refitting the inlet 🙄 1

WideSam Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Replaced the horrible budget tyres that were on it with some Goodyear Eagle F1s. They came on a set of standard wheels but in black, looks much better and feels a lot nicer to drive now. Forgot to get a picture though 🙄. Also discovered a wheel but with no thread left in it so I’ve ordered a new stud and nut, gives me something to do next weekend! 1
JamesJDMwagon Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 So it's been a busy couple of weeks put a new engine in the Scoob and had an MOT with my fingers and everything else crossed 😅. Here's a few pics. Added some nice bits and bobs aerocathes, rad cap, forged header tank. But sadly need to take the gearbox out looks like I caught the rear main seal so slight oil leak. But she's coming along slowly. 3

ROSSCOSM Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Had my mechanic fit 3 port boost solinoid and standard recirc valve ready for map on Saturday. Was actually booked in for tomorrow but he had a cancellation and squeezed me in today bonus.

WideSam Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Gave it a quick jet wash at the garage then set out trying to find somewhere to get some nice pics. Took a wrong turn and ended up back at home again so the drive will have to do 😂. Here she is complete with new black wheels fitted last week. Now im trying to decide whether to tint the rear windows and/or debadge the boot... 🤔 2

WideSam Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Thanks @ROSSCOSM the picture is pretty flattering, the paintwork needs a LOT of tlc!

Brom Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Washed and worshipped my Tribeca lol And tried to remove each of the exhaust tips, which don't want to co-operate even though I've sheared the little bolt underneath grrrrrrr. Big hammer next time !!
JamesJDMwagon Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Blow up 3rd gear 😂 too much boost apexi power fc and 3 port boost controller works well on the plus side 🤔

Expand I've turned a few 5 speeds into 4 speeds ,always been 3rd gear too 🙄 If £1.5k for a 6 speed is too much to spend atm ,you could fit a later ty54 or hawk 5 speed .as these have stronger casings and will generally run 360hp ( maybe a bit more) . Google your current ty52#### gearbox code to find out the final drive ratio. Then find a ty54 or 6 speed with the same ratio , that way you can keep your rear diff assembly and only change the box . You will have to swap the early mechanical speed sensor and reverse /neutral switch wiring to the new box but clutch ,fly,starter,driveshafts ECT are all compatable from ty52 to ty54 or 6 speed 😉 1 1
