MR 6 speed "stripper" from France

Absolutely no risk, it holds the double without any problem and i had put some supports under the motor mounts for security.

This is not necessarily the case for some cheap engine support bars.


But it's not a kind of job i like...

Custom amplifier support finish :








And alarm installation

[--Aramis--]

Hum hum what could we do with that sheet of aluminium?

[--Aramis--]

An hour ahead of us... and if we made the throttle actuators

Revs were hesitant at cold start, it was not smooth
The actuator of left bank one was made in 2021 but the right one was of 2007 origin

Customer advices in dealership when there is a problem on a known (wear) part...
Then it's good to unmount/remove everything 2 times, a support of the engine harness broken elsewhere and repaired for the occasion

I'll give big slaps to the funny ones who work like pigs...

Long story short, order at Rebuild on 24/05 at 14h, delivered on 25/05 at 13h30 (that's some serious guys!)

Mounted, tested with ISTA, restarted and perfect, smooth and fluid revs and more nervous regime

The beast is Alive!!

After 3 months of work a little night drive to celebrate it

Well everything was fine until the moment when the connecting rod n ° 3 decide to throw out the engine block and missed a braking that followed to finish it in an oak 😂..


joking apart from everything is OK , apart from the oil level sensor that takes its time to calculate the level, maybe one day it will get there, it purrs and sounds good, no more lights, messages, noises,

it starts to be at my standards to follow we will be able to start the serious things now 😎😈

Tell us about your choice. What final drive ring and pinion gear ratio and type of LSD unit did you decide to go with?

[--Aramis--]

4.1 gears Motorsport shot peened

Drexler GT-Competition 8 disks, plates drilled, 60% /40% lock

I ask Driftflo how and where i drive and what i want, he explain and tell me what setup will be good

Very nice. I hope it came with instructions. Especially for setting the ring and pinion gear tooth backlash.

@driftflo do the assembly

I've done some 168K and 188k, but this time i'll not do the job

[--Aramis--]

Diff and exhaust time

Driveshaft joint , gearbox, flush, lambda sensors new, etc...

Custom fab undertray plate :

A "little" meet with a rabbit by night on twisty roads with a little speed

One front bumper and some other damages



Speed is evil as we often say in France... But that's another debate... then repair

Insect Graveyard



Close up look of custom undertray plate





Other damages






Repair, plastics welding







Adjusted according to the manufacturer's recommendations







US look, so nice but we can't drive without licence plate support in ECE...

How is the rabbit? I hear they make for tasty pies - at least in the U.K.

He hit the bumper and ended up under the wheel... In Exploded Farritas Mode
