Project update
Last time I ended with the words “let’s do this right”. Well, I got a bit carried away over the past weekends… I uncovered a big pile of old leaves, dirt and moisture.
Luckily it all cleaned up very nice :) So of course I couldn’t stop now…
More disassembly and cleaning showing it’s quite a clean car🙏🏼
Full engine bay is cleaned. Time for a big recommissioning!
There was a freshly worked cylinder head on the shelf:
- Ported intake and exhaust channels
- Oversize valves
- New valve seals
- Punto P75 camshaft
Of course all gaskets and seals were replaced.
Perfect time to fit the Novitec tuning kit.
- Better flowing intake manifold
- 40mm throttle body
- Novitec carbon filter box
Other maintenance included:
- New spark plugs and leads
- Alternator was going bad, so replaced
- All engine and transmission mounts
- Throttle and clutch cables
- All vacuum hoses
- Some sensors
- Every component of the cooling system
- New brake discs, pads, callipers booster and hoses
- And a shiny yellow cam cover…
Almost ready for the Dutch winter. Looking quite good I must say
Excuse me, that was a long one haha. Just excited I guess.
Good night again🇳🇱
