Surok: Thanks

Trav: Thanks for the offer but Aaron is actually gunna drop it off at mine on Thursday

Darren: Cheers! I cant wait either man.

Simon: Thanks mate but I've already figured something out, not sure where the boost gauge is gunna go yet. A pillar would be nice.

MrTurbo: Yeh they are a really nice little bike!


Small Update:

Went to pick up the engine today but It wasn't going to fit in the van as expected. It looks quiet a bit different to what I thought it would, seems to have a gen3 gearbox attached to it What a score! Pics will be up on Thursday!

I can't believe it came with a gearbox!

It was a great buy to begin with and a "free" gearbox is an awesome bonus!

Yeah, I can't believe it either guys! Can't wait to join the turbo crew
Update

So the engine arrived this morning, Very exciting stuff! I will be painting/podercoating and cleaning everything up to a high standard before the motor goes in. Still undecided which colour scheme I will go for.

The motor seems to be missing the ic pipe that comes off the throttle body (was going to get a berk one anyway to clear the trd strut) and some a few little hoses that must of gotten lost along the way, no drama as it came with a gearbox so I'm pretty sure I'm still winning haha!

Also worth a mention is how well everything has been packaged prior to shipping, every loose end has some sort of cover over it, very happy and impressed about that.

PICS









Can anyone confirm this is a gen3 gearbox?

Darren Cheers man! Not sure still. Few ideas are

-Metalic/takata green rocker cover with satinblack or maybe silver piping

-Plain silver and black combo

-Silver cam cover with polished piping, blue joiners etc. Pretty standard option but still looks nice


Steve Thanks, If its a gen3 box it should have. If for some reason it doesn't I will be putting one in like I did with my n/a

Lucky purchase! I always liked how clean your car is. The motor will really make it that much better. Odds are with a motor like that, straight from Japan that it's the original Gen3 gearbox too.

It looks like a GEN III gearbox.

Takata green would look nice and while you're at it get some Takata TE37's and Takata harness'

mr2qik: Thanks a lot jay! It seems like you would be right, it seems to be a gen3 gearbox

Darren: Yeh, looks like it is! Still not sure about colours, looking towards something a little simpler lately.

Dustin: Thanks, It should be going in sooner than expected now that I don't have to figure out what I'm going to do for a gearbox


Update

Been busy the last few days pulling it apart to inspect the motor a bit and to have everything cleaned up and painted. So far it looks amazing, the engine almost seems close to new. Its in unbelievable condition, im very very happy. Fingers crossed there are no nasty surprises!


Pics!

Here is what I was talking about before about the engine being very well packaged and sealed!

Cam cover pulled. This is how it looked, I havn't touched or cleaned anything.
