V6 Mivec Colt

[gazmcg89]

Picked up Temeeos Gpx a few weeks ago with the intention of fitting the running gear to my track car . The shell began life as a 1.3 which I removed and fitted 1.6 Mivec running gear .

This is the car when I got it






1.3 removed




1.6 Mivec in




Fto hubs added with sh11ty wheels




As it sat before I began taking apart again




And some Mondello pictures










The new heart




Strip down beginning

Thanks for taking the time to post this, wouldn't mind going for a PAX lap with you to Mondello when it's all done.

[gazmcg89]

Intention is to have her out in February Jan all going well ! Passenger laps are a given I'll be in touch if all goes to plan

[gazmcg89]

Not the best evening for it but free time is free time !

1.6 Mivec out , gear linkage out , throttle cable out and headlight abs etc loom removed

Good work man
But I wouldn't trust them bricks!

[gazmcg89]

Was just a temporary thing I needed the crane to relocate the engine was supported elsewhere too but Thanks for the advice Can never be too careful

[gazmcg89]

Sitting roughly where it wants to be awaiting engine crane due to the v6 being a bit on the lardy side for the one I had !

I like!!!

[Temeeo]

Nice job! You certainly don't procrastinate! I keep making all the time "bad weather" excuses and postponing the jobs I want to do on the GX...

[gazmcg89]

Bit of progress made will be slow going from here on out due to work and the nature of what's still to do but getting somewhere none the less ..


Engine in on mounts and wired




Now to deal with interior !

[brccrx]

You being lazy after xmas

[gazmcg89]

Extremely lazy Seb can't get motivated again ! All in good time .

[brccrx]

Much left to do?

[gazmcg89]

Very little tbh alot of tidying inside . Few connections to do that weren't compatible Fto was hid headlight and I used 1.6 Mivec rad . I was a bit silly and sent digital heater matrix and that away with the shell also the retainers for gear linkages inside don't match so I need one from the Fto or fit old linkages again . Power steering pump . Engine bay is 90% done

[gazmcg89]

Also have to do something with exhaust dp to catback

[gazmcg89]

Picked up a few body bits for this yesterday will finish it nicely with some Mivec skirts and down the line nice wheels I hadn't been looking out for them but they don't come up often so I jumped


Front fogs




And the bit everyone wants a cyborg spoiler
