It's not that difficult, but you must have someone to help. I've done it about 4 times now

Once it took about 45 mins because I didn't take the gearbox out, so I was trying to line up the engine with the engine mounts as well as the gearbox. If you took the engine out with gearbox, then putting it in should be a 10 minute job, if not less. Obviously there mustn't be oil in the gearbox, and you'll need to hoist the engine + gearbox using a block and tackle or engine crane.

If you need help, let me know in advance and I can come over and help.

Thx toby, when we get there for the motor to go back, I will give you a shout!
Well I have some bad news. The build needs to take a back seat for now. I have to fix my Bakkie first. But will be going forward with the build in June!
The drifting event changed some of my idea`s So we will see what happens!

Hi everyone.

I hate it when I do this, but I dont know what I want to do! can you believe it??

Rebuild on the motor is still first priority, but then, I dont know what to do from there?

1: Drift car.
2: Drag car.
3: "Rondfok" everyday toy.
4: Show car.

Any Idea`s from you guys? Its probably not going to change my mind, but would like to see what you guys think?

I am aiming for 250rwkw on the CA18. And my plan for the car have changed so much already, and every time I "read up" on my car, my backside starts itching.

250rwkw can be done on a CA but SR would be better. Over 200rwkw CA becomes costly.

Build your car for a all rounder then untill you know

Brakes - Bigger what ever path you take this is always needed
Coilovers - something like the BC's or D2's with softer spring rates 6-4kg
Poly Bushes

Hi every one!

I have some good news and some bad news!

The bad news is:The Power rebuild of my CA18 has too wait a little bit. I have a new project car for my Girlfriend that needs first attention.

The good news is: I am searching for another CA18 or SR20 for the time being, Just so that I can Use the car. Rather SR20, Because I want to use the motor at a later stage for another car.

But I will post the motor swop, and so on.

Now I am going to rename my project: Project "Slick-Tic"
