so i should use the baffle gasket then? or? i havn’t bought the other one yet

[Housey]

think i found the leak today, don’t look like its the transmission, but from the oilpangasket. so took the oilpan down today. it used the hard composit-fibre gasket, going to get myself a new rubber one

the drops that was on the transmission didn’t smell of transmission fluid. so my guess its just motor-oil

[Housey]

small bumper airducts? they are all over the vortex..

anyhow. chris, are these north-viking ones still for sale ?

[Housey]

going to get myself some O-rings then. should not be too hard to change while the subframe is out

[Housey]

i’ve got a leak around the angledrive to engine block bracket. and between the bellhousing and angledrive

[Housey]

anyone got any input on my leaky leaky tranny?

[Housey]

which reminded me, there is no gasket surface there. only an O-ring .. damn i didn’t change that when i pieced it back together

[Housey]

took the front subframe out today. had to do it inorder to change my steering rack boots (damn TRW ****)

cleaned the rack. and took the subframe with me, going to give this a good cleaning aswell

and, while i’m at it, i’m going to take the angle-drive out, and apply some silicone sealant to it. i didn’t do that when i opened it which i get to pay for now. since i’ve got small leaks around where the casings are mounted together..

hopfully the angledrive won’t give me any hassle. since its not a long time since it was opened

oh well. a lot of boring work, that has to be done. wasn’t very leaky to start with, but have gotten more and more leaky as the time has progressed

[Housey]

looks to me like i’m buying the north viking ones.. my foglights isn’t hooked up anyways :p

[Housey]

and now i know what they look like thanks to chris

not too sure actually. i want something close to stock, as i’m having foglights. and these use the foglight cut-outs

[Housey]

i was approached by a guy on vortex. saying he had something that he called north viking brake ducts …. what ever the hell that is. waiting for pictures

[Housey]

gah, getting upset now. i’m in the middle of changing my tierods and steeringboots. rods are in, but the damn boots are a pita to install :S looks to me like i’m going to have to take out the complete steering rack damnit

oh, and i’ve got some leaky PS tubes. anyone know what the size the o-rings are? can’t find them in etka. its the small ones that are on the small tubes which are mounted ON the rack, not the ones that feeds the rack with fluid

[Housey]

did some more on the centre console today.

got it bondo’d. then sanded it smooth, doesn’t look smooth, but it is

test fittet the gauges ant took a pic aswell.. whats left now is some primer, then paint

i’ve only used plasticprimer in this pic, will still need normal gray primer then flat-black structure paint

[Housey]

started a little project on the side today making room for 3 52mm gauges in the console

this meant a lot of cutting, grinding and plastic welding

came out pretty damn nice if i can say so my self

pictures are taken when i’m finished plastic welding, and pre bondo going to smooth it out and use some type of structure paint on it

hopefully i will look good in the end

only got some crappy phonepics tho. but, that has to do for now

[Housey]

been a slow week all i’ve done is change the tie-rods still waiting for the boots for the steering rack. going to be a blast to install… gah.. the heatshield on the right side on the steering rack isn’t going to help much. but. ohwell..

almost everything is new in the front now
