I have got it started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sam13]

lol yer thats right i hate working on hot engins especilly on a hot day. soon as my car is finished marky im gona get looking for an 1.4 single point to tune to put in my corsa as i got told that the 1.8 will have to have the loom changed and i am trying to stay away from that. what gearbox are you going to put with your engine 1.6gsi box or sumit??

[markymicro]

No No there is a place near me called top gear and for about £550 they are going to do me a box with limited slip at the diff and really short gears but will only go to about 110mph but it will get to that speed so fast am kinda hoping i can keep up with subarus and what ever else gets in my way lol well up to 110mph anyway after that am stuck but i am wonting to drag it so a short ratio box will do the job i think!!

[markymicro]

Getting the box is going to be while off i cant aford at the moment but i will have to see about top end speeds i will worry about it when i have got the money!

[markymicro]

i will look in to it! But i dont no at the minute what to go for.

[sam13]

110?! is that it?1 it\'ll effect your 1/4 mile times! was watching a vid last night of a corsa which did the quater mile is 9 seconds flat at 147mph!!!

the loom for the 1.8 isn\'t very hard to use... main problem with the 1.8 is the air flow metre!

i didnt know the 1.8 8v single point injections had air flow they are out of a mk 3 cavaleir.

would someone give me a run down on the gearbox\'s for corsa and what will go with what,

[sam13]

i was after a 1.8 single point injection so i was hoping to do a stright swop with my 1.2 8v single point injection what you recon a few mods before swop of corse and tart it up a bit.

[markymicro]

Yea why not!!

[sam13]

i have spoke to you bot thins before i think marky and no1 seems to know weather i wil have to change the loom or not.

[markymicro]

Best thing to do is buy the engine and put it in and go from there!!
Or yea the other day some little ba**ard nicked my down pipe and cat (Exhaust) that was lying next to my car as i didn\'t think it was worth nicking and some f**ker took it can you believe that i am really f**ked off where i live and then a black guy thought it would be funny to knock all the bins over down my street where i live as it is bin day tomorrow i didn\'t see it but my neighbour did! said it was some black guy thinking he is a bad man must be a real bad ass to do that (LOOK AT ME KNOCKING THE BINS OVER I AM SO HARD) LOL F**king loser or what...................................

[sam13]

that is jelousy for ya.. i just wanted to keep the single point injection to save me changing the wiring loom yes i would have to change the ecu

[markymicro]

You could be right Simon......
Sam why dont you get the 1.8L get it swaped over only take a few hours if you crack on with it!!
I am waiting for a job at the uni to come up in september as an IT support officer and if i get that job i will finishing my mechanic job and doing that! and then i will be moving to Halifax i think.

[sam13]

yer m8 do that i have all the equipment at work. but then i also fancy i tuned 1.4 lol i duno i better finish the car 1st and get it on the road lol.

[markymicro]

Well there is no rush take it easy i never rush i always find if you do things go wrong!! I haven\'t even looked at my engine since Sunday just p*ssed of with it at the moment so i thought i would have a few days off!

[markymicro]

I found it really easy took me about an hour and a half but i had my bro with me he started all the easy stuff i did all the wires and engine mounts and it was out rolled the engine on its front and pulled it out!!

[markymicro]

I didn\'t use any lube at all but all the bolts i will be replacing with new ones it has cost me about £30 pound for all the bolts on the engine by it\'s self they are all stainless steel allen key so wont rust!! But i found taking the engine out really easy when i had everything off the engine and ready to drop i put a jack under the sump lowerd it down then dropped the engine on the deck rolled it forward and pulled it out and dragged it in to my cella but took the gear box of first all the oil was still in the engine sorted that out when i got the engine in my cella i had the engine striped and ready for sending the block off to get it rebord in about an hour but there where me and my bro working on it alot fast 4 hands are better than 2.
