deeldbags bj astina build
G'day, i'm a 22 yo ****kicker from victoria. in this thread you'll see the progress shots of an engine transplant from a 1.8l protege (platinum edition(better seats + tach looks like sp20)) to my astina.
Back story; bought the car 2 months ago, worked great, 325xxxkms on the clock, started burning oil, blow the head and eventually blew the engine on a road-trip with my dog through the otway ranges and great ocean road a couple weekends ago. Bought a $400 wrecked car from a private seller who took the front end off for their smashed up protege and needed to get rid of the rolling shell. car has 390xxxkm on the engine, chassis is ****ed. engine is good. seems like it's had a re-build at some point in it's life and regularly serviced. Moral of the story - i'm flat broke and this was the cheapest option as i love the hatchback version too much. First off here's the car a couple days after i got it (removed hub caps, installed racks + kayak rack) -> Just a photo for ****s and gigs of how much i am attached to the car already -> Here's it on the road trip where it ****ed up-> here it is with no front end side by side with the donor car-> quick old and new comparison for now old engine; changed oil - did 500kms topped it up 3 times and it was so black and thick and screwed just not seerviced and looked after well-> New engine looks well looked after; this is how i got it -> egine is the fs9 1.8L manual My plans- most of the old parts on my car are new on the other car. so i plan to mix and match what i can (power steering pulley e.tc) and replace the engine. the clutch in the new engine is rooted so new clutch. Things to buy and plans- Service **** (liquids/oils/filters/sparks) Replace Clutch Exhaust manifold + gaskets Rear end exhaust Waterpump New radiator Hoses Cold air intake Valve seals + gaskets Steel brake lines Switch over seats + tach New smaller bits and bobs So far i have removed both wire looms, free'd the engine ready to come out and am starting to order **** offline Hope this is at least interesting. will post more updates as i go. any advice you wanna throw at me, or want to input go for it, im all ears. i have the engine bay nearly empty and just the engine. and will be re-putting together most of the components around the engine so feel free to hit me up with what you'd like to see or where i can get some cheap parts Cheers Last edited by deedlebag.; 15-08-2016 at 12:45 AM. |
