^^^ that was over a week ago...
L20b is in, 5 spd is in, prop shaft is shortened. As I said before, water pump was knackered, alternator wouldn't line up, and also had no fuel pump. Used the L16 items. Couple of engine flushes, and oil changes, and it's running pretty well considering the state of it. Smokey as hell at times, if it doesn't clear after a bit of running and another oil change then I'll look at getting some engine work done and such. I'll get the teething problems sorted, then look at the next steps.
Had the inlet manifold blanked where the egr/emissions crap was...
Gearbox is a little longer, made a 'stick gater replacement now...
Chucked on my old suichuuka shift knob I had on my Sapporo, for fun like, until I find something else...
So, happy as hell it's been done, but frustrated the engine itself isn't healthy.
