It wouldnt put me off if the rest of the car was fine -panels aligning etc, it could just be carpark dings or someone keying the car, If the panel was full of filler with a big dent the window would not go down, door opening mechanism fouling etc.

Way hey - welcome back, project thread 😁

that caliper price is good - that abs sensor is a bit of a bummer Try adjusting the belt tension before spending out on the power steering

They are easy enough to refurb yourself if you can take it off the road for a bit - still not free but Big Red will sell you a refurb kit which would be better than paying for an unknown second hand pair

Can completely empathise with that - but all come together in the end

As above - a proper map will be matched to your car exactly not a generic solution - they can also put in antilag, FFS and downshift blip but not sure about LC?

good idea - will do that to mine I think 🙂

Wotcha and welcome - hopefully someone will be along with a recommendation - all the ones I know are further afield

yup headlight removal is the way to go - I didnt and nicked the bumper 🙃

Wotcha and welcome - plenty of experience on this forum and all friendly - feel free to get stuck in

nice one!

Yup used KYB shocks before plus my lad running the KYB / Eibach combo on his colt - much improved over standard

Everyone has to start somewhere - The major challenge will be ensuring you dont screw up the timing but there are videos online to sort that. I dont think you have the belt guide on a 2.0NA so no chance of you rubbing your belt away due to incorrect postioning. Take your time and take photos along the way

Wotcha and welcome - as above, it is better to sell and buy a manual

Wotcha and welcome - apologies I will not be able to help as I will too far away this week - hopefully someone may be able to help out

Today in an effort to get more access to the top of the block to remove oil I poured this from my reservoir tank - not happy And dropped the fluid from the radiator

Good luck with the sale 👍

Great info - very useful to know thanks

Manifold is unequal and it does give the burble - this will be retained 👍 Ill follow up with Alyn - cheers

Thanks - ill check those and replace all the washers, I have a new oil feed line coming from HEL as I learnt the hard way with my 200sx eating turbos due to feed line being partially blocked by cooked oil.

That is a steal - hopefully someone will snap it up

Lovely looking motor - surprised it has not gone

Great looking car - what is the price?

dont know - only found it when car was on the ramp, will reassemble with a bit of exhaust sealant and replace wrapping with a blanket then I can pretend its fine.... Looked at a one piece replacement and fell into the upgrade spiral..... Oh there is a bigger diameter option, Well I will need the manifold to match, Well it makes more financial sense to buy as a set, Whats a rotated / twisted turbo setup..... Conclusion - live with current setup for the moment and shopping list has been amended 😁
