just like to say cheers to Grinder for taking me out in his RX -- :Thumbs-up

what a car! even with a slipping clutch im very impressed at the speed!! I hope mine turns out as good.

I got the cab the 98 miles home safe and sound without any sketchy moments, going to go pick up the winch and tools / compressor tomorrow and get ready to start working on it!!

managed to bag a complete walk through for the conversion from auto to manual and engine / ecu removal. so i shouldnt have too much of a headache but i know where to come if i need advice :Thumbsup!

well in order to do the job effectively i have had to clear a big space in the garage, which was a huge job in itself and im gonna count it as part of the conversion lol.

i still cant fit an RX in there but at least i can get the front end in! I have got all my tools together im ready to start, but i have been working all week and have so much other stuff to do this week, i havent had chance to start ripping it to bits.

I got a mate coming round this weekend to help me out tho, the bbc reckons that the weather is going to be ok too. so i will post some pics up on saturday night.

slight thread hijack-stu wat new clutch u gonna get bud?

cheers colin

i have been offered a second hand clutch off pip and fitting

im just paranoid about a second hand clutch - but the price is right

gonna get the MOT done first - then sort that out - no point paying loads for a clutch if the MOT shows something major ( which it shouldnt as its only done 900 miles since it was last MOT\'d )

and long time no speak matey - you OK ?

colinrx7surrey · March 01, 2006, 06:36:11 PM

a second hand clutch sounds good depends on the miles its dun i guess !! im cool tho matey feel free to give me a call any time for a chat u got my number!!!!

grinder · March 01, 2006, 07:18:43 PM

shaunwil · March 02, 2006, 01:03:48 PM

Yeah, everyone stop Hijacking this thread

Whats your time schedule then Nas?

FD3SNuttah · March 03, 2006, 02:51:06 AM

Im a Mod on another site so its kinda like a reflex!

i plan to get the engine swapped in before Tuesday, that leaves me until the following saturday to get the electrics sorted. I need to make a table so i know which wires to splice into which using the FSM\'s shouldnt be too much of a worry. just a bit of a long process, which is why i reckon i should* be done by the following week.

I have just changed jobs and managed to plan it so that i have the next two and a half weeks off! wahey! should be plenty of time to do this RX once and for all!
