Well, its been a while since the last update.
Things got a bit out of control with this car. Its not any longer a daily driver.
Added some 8,5J x 18 Rims and a bit stance:
Then a nice Steering wheel:
Then some seats, harness and a cage:
Dont ask why, my head hurts sometimes.
Unfortunately, on the first testdrive after the racecar-conversion, my oilpump seized and the oilpump drivegear was damaged.
Luckily i shut down the motor fast enough to avoid further damage.
I think the reason was small parts of the broken Turbo bearing cage (see last page) that found theire way to the oilpump gears and blocked them.
So time for another Motorswap. I swapped my build engine for a stock Turbo engine.
In the meantime i can replace the broken parts and do a complete check.
Also a good opportunity to take the car to the MOT, which is due every 2 years in Germany.
