Can’t wait to see it bud
Excellent news, we need pictures…
This maybe??
Nice 
OK so Matt has been taking a load of pics and pinged some over to me so I thought I’d post them up :
The original clutch - pretty worn and three of the four springs bust.
Yep that’s fooked!
Gearbox in bits
Cleaning up this mess…Matt was really looking forward to this job 
Hmmmm nice 
Ahhh that’s better. Apparently it was pretty corroded on the rear bulkhead panel behind the fuel tank which was cleaned off and treated with zinc spray.
Add a cheeky slippy diff as the gearbox comes back together
Fitting the JDM cams
Putting the gearbox back together
Matt accidentally sent my new Tullet exhaust off to Zircotec 
Tempted as I was by white, I thought black would look better for longer and was cheaper albeit not quite as effective.
And another shot why not? That’s gonna look mint with the white cam cover and gold engine bay bling
oOoOOo Nice!
ah damn, that zircotec malarky looks good (scratches head)
CC going in too?
Blimey!!! Didn’t realise you were having that much of the exhaust coated! 
No one is going to get close to you on track when in flamer thrower mode! Looking good though.
Looking good Ben … Bring on the bling !
ah didn’t know your exhaust was 4-2-1, looking forward to seeing how it gets on
Bring on the Bling indeed! Yeah I might have gone a bit mental with the Zircotec,…in for a penny an’ all that
Yep I’m really looking forward too Tim. Yep the CC (following a theme on my car the core is S/H) and all the rest of the ProAlloy bits have now arrived.
nice, so what pulley you going to wang on? Full on jamie spec to smash my dyno sheet?
No don’t worry we’re not gonna go mental. Sticking with 3.4" and then K24 bottom pulley is where we ended up IIRC.
Well that’s all starting to look rather yummy!! I really don’t envy Matt having to do your bulkhead either, as it’s a real shitter of a job. Can’t wait to see it all starting to go back into the engine bay now.
I’m writing out a full plan of action for my car at the minute, now that I’ve got some enthusiasm back. The list is getting long now, but like yours, she’s going to come back a lot bigger, better and stronger!!
Top job. Can’t wait to see it. You could go to the moon (and back) with that tackle. 
jesus jamie thats going to be some monster
Ben - 450rpm more speed cranked into compared then, close enough. My money is on 340@hubs
Thanks boys. Yeah its gonna be quite a machine! Based on recent dyno-precedent I reckon about 340@hubs too, we’ll see. I just picked some nice bits, it makes what it makes.
Looking good Ben, its amazing how things out of sight can deterIorate so badly over the years.
The 160 was 10yrs old when i pulled it apart for its rejuvenation but is good again now for another 10.
Look forward to seeing it soon.
Looking good ben!!
Are you having your balls overhauled as well, so you can handle the new car???
