Anyway, as some of you already know I now have a young family and therefore had to sell my much loved corsa after spending thousands upon thousands on it, I went to have a look at it at the beginning of the year but it was a total wreck so I stayed away. To be honest I am glad I have stayed away as I didn't feel as though it was mine anymore if you get what i mean.

Here is my new car



Its a Zaffy B SRi CDTI 150.

Do you still have the regular Wednesday night meets etc, it would be nice to say hello again and meet some of the newbies since I was last around?]]>

Unfortunately over the bank holiday weekend my drivers side electric window motor decided to give up and break. All that is broke is the cog but being Ford you can't just replace the cog you need to replace the motor, I have got a price from Ford themselves but refuse to be taken for all I am worth. I wondered if anyone knew of anywere that I could pick one up ASAP. I have called all the scrapyards in my area and I am out of luck.

Any help from you guys/gals would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

I think i need to find some photo's where im not going sideways haha

Next week its gonna be running this beasty...



This is the old lump thats being taken out. 2.8 Cologne V6 rebuilt with ARP bolts, ported and polished heads and inlet, janspeed manifolds and a full janspeed exhaust. K&N panel filter and a rotor arm with no rev limiter.

Rolling road result when i first did it 12 months ago was 168.9 bhp.



spent this week pulling the lump out of the cossie and wiring in the new loom and ecu into the capri...







Oh and chucked in a set of BMW 520i SE headlights so i can actually see the road at night, much better than the naff things the capri has as stock



and stripping the current engine a little...



Well the 24valver should have been quick to fit, but when i was swapping the clutch over i found this...



That will teach me for wanting to reuse parts...

But its an excuse to buy a new Borg Warner clutch kit

Battery relocated to the boot and cable run via the drive shaft tunnel



Janspeed manifolds removed



Most of the engine disconnected and bits removed, just held on by a couple of bolts here



Starting to lift it..



Free from the gearbox..



and now totally out of the car...



Big empty space for the cossie lump



Getting closer now boys and girls

---

Ok so i've done a test fit on the ex manifolds. They didn't clear the clutch cable to start with but i've removed the cable and rerouted it and this is the result



Still have the problem with my oil filter arm, i'm thinking about using the original capri item which is a touch shorter. However this means i lose the oil cooling water feed.



Did a trial fit on my K&N as well lol

Once we knew what we wanted, we travelled the country to look at 2 or three nasty ones and a few half decent ones. There was a strict criteria. She wanted a good straight one, with full history, aircon and low mileage.

The one we found fit the bill perfect, aircon, full honda service history including the major at 70k where they do the tappets and clean the valves etc, all honda MOTs and 71k on clock. Perfect.

The car was 100% standard when we agreed a price. They had another facelift one with a SS back box sat at the side of it and I just made a flippent coment about wishing that our had the SS exhaust and without hesitating he offered us the swap just like the banker on deal or no deal. He said he preffered the standard ones. So bonus, free exhaust. lol.

Before we even picked it up I was bidding on an induction kit. lol. It didnt take us long, not even got the car and we've got new exhaust and and induction kit. lol.

Anyway hers the pics so far.

Thought I'd post this incase any of you fancy it.

Basically, a load of Imprezas (list's up to 40 so far) in a massive convoy, through Birmingham, going through as many tunnels as possible, and the city centre. Oh, and raising some money for charity too.

It is restricted to Subarus though, but I've got 4 spare seats going, and I'm sure others won't mind some passenger if there's a few of you.

I think Bockett's coming up too, if you want to see how lowering a Scoob should be done.]]>
