you UK boys are doing a real bang up job Looks very time consuming though!! I have checked out a couple UK import mags and you guys are just as crazy or even crazier than us in the States, I guess this project proves my point. Is that a Vtec controller that I see on the steering column??

 

Nah its a ScanGauge II - it is quite usefull because it relays information from the vehicles ECM and displays up to four digital gauges at a time. Intake air temperature is my favourite, along with MPG.

It can also scan and clear error codes, and tell you how many miles you can drive until you run out of fuel. It does much more too.

 

I just wanted to step in and say thanx for posting this. I just got my '06 Ralliart and being an IT guy, I'm pretty clueless* as to most automotive repairs/upgrades. This whole thing is pretty freaking cool to me.

* Not totally, I've changed the oil, battery, tires and bulbs on my old 97 Cav. I know you're all impressed. :P

 

Everyone starts there. FWIW, I'm an IT guy, too. Here's a pic of me bolting a new motor into a friend's truck five years ago.

 

^^ ahh.....Mys the mountain man/ grease monkey!

 

Today we installed the RRM Catback, RRM Header-Downpipe, and the RRM tie-Bar. I then began putting the interior back together now the wiring is done. I'm still waiting on the correct fuel pump, and the transaxle. We are approx 80% through now. The remaining 20% being plugging up the new engine, doing the fluids, and testing.

 

i'm spending more time on my back working under that car that i am in bed sleeping!

also.. i no longer have dandruf, but i do have rust x_X all the crap falling off the underside if the car is really getting in my hair!!! and eyes! that's why i ware safety goggles alot.

I must stress that I myself am doing very little of the actual work here! Solouko is the guy you see in the pics doing everything. I have the cash, the ideas, the helping hand, have bought all the parts, research all the possbilities and ahve the technical know-how of the car to complete this swap..., and he has the skill, ability, tools, strength and common sense to do the work involved. So much credit to him!

 

Now would be a perfect time to replace the stock swaybar bushings with polyurethane. I wished for such easy access to mine last Summer when I changed mine.

 

Do you know where I can get them from? Coz thats a good idea!

 

Wow guys My hat goes off to you. Keep up the good work. cheers guys

 

Measure your swaybar diameter, and you can find them HERE, for starters. I'm sure there are other places, that was just the first result of a search.

 

Do they make much difference?

 

They make about as much difference as you'd expect for the price. Not a whole lot, but some. If you like cornering, every bit helps.

 

I think cousin Carl is looking at his nose hair here!!

Diavlo----you better let this guy drive your car whenever he wants....he's spending more time on his back for you than Paris Hilton has for half of New York!
