Hope to be on road with the car soon ( not for a few weeks though coz we r going away to Alice springs )and maybe see some faces behind the names.
By the way does anyone know how to run an engine out of the car before fitment without a second computer
This is somthing i would like to do so i can prove it is a good runner with no problems, not that i beleive it has ),
and should i replace the timming belt before i fit engine as a precaution ( have no real idea on distance travelled on engine before being removed or for what reason either). Any clues
