Love it. Wish I had the time money and equipment to do this to mine. Are you going to be running a supercharger? This is something I would like to see. Very interested in getting more power out of mine. I now have another car so my mv6 can go into storage for a while and hopefully I can do some work on it. Keep up the good work and keep posting more pics of you progress.

Thanks guys 
I was nearly done in the engine bay when I noticed a water leak from the left radiator hose, and when i pulled that off i found out something is wrong with the thermostat as it letting water through, so i just purchased new parts which i'm expecting tomorrow 

MV6Danny:
I have a hope of fitting a supercharger, but it's all about the money, if i get the money to next summer i will definitely buy a kit
Can't wait to see the results from the tuning on the dyno, i will keep posting pics

Managed to break the rear camberkit today 
Looks like the car is gonna be in the garage for up to a month more, depends on how fast I can get a new camberkit 

[Andy89]

The engine is now complete and ready to start, just need to fit exhaust before I can fire it up


This is how the car is right now, really need to clean up the mess around the car 


Fitted some second hand grooved and drilled brakediscs

Wow! Your doing a great job there!!!
Take a video of the first fire? That engine does look great and I have been thinking of doing the same! Keep it going! BTW, that looks like a nice RX7 you have too! :-y

Looking good mate

Loving the engine pics, looks factory fresh

Thanks guys 
A video of the first startup is a bit late, I did the startup today 
It started out very noisy on the lifters, but that calmed down a bit
After a while it made a worrying sound from the bottom end, although it could be something loose somewhere, not sure yet
Had a 20 min run at 1500-2000rpm and no major leaks or anything like that, just a very tiny leak from the left side (1 drop of water) I just tightened the jubilee clip and hope for the best 

The rx7 in the background belongs to my brother

A little update

The engine left a worrying amount of metal shavings in the sump, so it's taken out for a rebuild in the future. (was actually taken out last year, just after 2000 KM)
That means the old engine is put back in (a stock engine, but wont be for much longer  )

[Andy89]

Well, the engine will be stock, but it will be helped along nicely with its breathing problems 

[Andy89]

Can't wait to get it supercharged
