Been a busy 2 weeks for me & the weather been cracking us up. After work my father
& i were playing mechanic hehheheh
but so far so good,

I managed to buy to buy a few items, Some installed,

1.) 323 200i 16v gearbox with back mounting & bracket, installed it also,
2.) 323 200i 16v crossmember (with the 4 holes in front) installed
3.) front mounting with bracket, also installed,

Just missing the 1 side mouting with bracket, busy sourcing that.
The gears feel so much better, did'nt drive her hard as yet, the alteranator is cathing
on the body if i rev her up, thats y i need that mounting.

Next on the list,

1.) Some re wiring, as my dash lights, parks, rear wiper & tail lights all of a sudden
went on strike. So busy with that,
2.) Rear suspension bushes & trailing arms,
3.) A level 4 alarm & central locking,
4.) Redoing the interior, in leather, bucketing the seats a bit,

Will keep u updated

P.S any FE DOHC owners if any of u guys have a pic of the side mounting next to the pulleys,
prevably a pic on a car,
I had saw one but it looked a a thick metal plate & the alternator is also attached. So im not sure if its
a modified one or standard.

Thanks Guy's
 

cool dude keep up the good work !

Sounds like you have the same problem I had with my gb lever / selector. Also worn bushings. Not sure if you can get them separate, all I know is I paid R600 odd for work and parts.

Agents prices  - speak to Sandman on this too.

lol dude that is a big headache ...that part is scares and if you can get hold of it it is expensive but i will find out about a price and let you know

Tonite will be playing mechanic once again, FE been outta action
now for a while. Can't wait to test that gearbox.

Going to install that side mounting, hope not to cold tonite

Will keep u updated !!!

Wish me luck.....

Hhehehehe LOL
R u crazy Sandman u the FE Fundi 

I did'nt get to work on the car, been busy with another surprise 

My Cousin bought a DOHC, but a little messed up, & a blown head gasket.
Brought the car in parts & my father said he will be able to sort it out.

Took some pics,





Hey Gert
Need a little help, in the pic below. There seems to be a sensor or something that goes there,
Im not sure what it is. Its on the head just under where it written bougi cord on one of the
plug leads. On my car theres some sort of bolt or sensor. Im just afraid water must'nt push through there.



If you know what is it called & where can i get it.

I will take more pics,

Okay i see, think i can get it at any spare shop,

Do you think water will come through there,

hey buddy ...did you see on the pic the car still got the original motor in it ...have a look at the cams and let me know what cams it is E.G FE5a or what

Just a small update, both FE's up & running,

Mines moving so much better with the 323 BOX, only i can hear 1 outer CV 

So haven't pushed her that hard, will be installing CV tomorrow.

The loadshedding, i manged to trace a popped fuse, but as soon as i put another fuse
it pops again. Theres def a short somewhere, my autoelectrician will be coming the weeknd,

ALL I CAN SAY IS WE NEED PICS !!!!!!!!

Ah sh!t that isn't cool, esp. with the work involved taking it in and out each time you wanna test. Not sure from my side, only time my speedo stopped working on an old cluster of mine was when I messed around with it and pulled the spring loose to paint needles. You didn't do this I know, I am sure the fix is simple

I wonder if there are connection differences between 130's 160's and the 2.0's. Although wasn't yours a 2.0 anyway?
