I just use a standard ford pump but ported a little. A HV oil pumps puts too much wear on the pump drive gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to see that the project is still going ahead. What kind of ECU you going to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they thought about that in the gearing when they made it haha. Atm im not too sure. Been quoted on vipec .. I bought a cheap tuning kit about 4 years ago, going to checkout what it lets you change and then yeah if its no good ill just go with whatever the tuner wants.

GRECO New Member 21 Member For: 11y 10m 30d Posted 04/05/14 03:30 AM Author Share Posted 04/05/14 03:30 AM hey guys. Bit of an update with pics. My heads now finished just have to wait for it to come in freight in the next week. Ive also started some work on the actual car, its been sitting in the shed for a few months now with nothing going on so I decided to clean out an unused shed at the farm and get going with it. This was the shed after a full day of cleaning and once it was cleanSo anyway I got to work stripping the front end to pull the engine outand now starting the ba kframe swap..all dummy fittedtoday just doing more measurements and marking places to drill. also picked up a t5 for a few hundred. going to rebuild it and give it a go. See how long itll last if I baby it so ill have time to sort out the 6speed. Im not sure whether ive posted new pictures of my interior but this is how it is now.. excuse mouldy seats and trimsSent from my HUAWEI U8950N-51 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRECO New Member 21 Member For: 11y 10m 30d Posted 07/05/14 10:03 AM Author Share Posted 07/05/14 10:03 AM Oh really? Wheres your build thread? . yeah the interior is alright swapping the dash out for a genuine cappa one soon and getting the top retrimmed black. Atm the whole dash is painted .. Looks genuine.. But yeah I dont want it to scratch and look sh*t. Seats will be retrimmed in cappa cream at the same time. Long way off worrying about seats though. I really want to get the holes drilled for the sub frame this weekend.. Whether itll happen or not I dont know.

Rollin Member 33 Member For: 15y 1m 9d Posted 15/05/14 05:03 AM Share Posted 15/05/14 05:03 AM Mate you're better off selling that t5 and putting a 6 speed in. At least you'll get some money for it. The only other option for a manual is an astro A5 gearset. Bit cheaper than a 6 speed and they still seem to be quite strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRECO New Member 21 Member For: 11y 10m 30d Posted 17/05/14 09:45 AM Author Share Posted 17/05/14 09:45 AM Yeah im thinking that.. I dont know atm. Ive got both t5 and t56 . I really want to put the t5 in to see how long it will last and then ill know whether those astro gears are worth it..
