IT RUNS!
Well, it ran for about 10 seconds :p
A friend of mine squeezed under it and connected up the exhaust manifold to the downpipe (i'm too fat to fit under it on my weedy axle stands).
I primed the fuel system for a few seconds, and kicked it over without the coil lead in, or the plugs...
Today!
Big final push to get almost everything done in the engine bay; timing belt setup as best i could, lower and upper timing covers installed, crank & water pump pulleys re-installed, new bolts used to secure lift hook & alternator bracket, alternator re-installed, airbox & afm installed...
Its stupidly simple - theres hardly any vacuum lines, only two fuel lines in, and then the Engine management. Remove those, and you have a virtually empty engine bay.
This is what it looks like now:
And then i have to sort out the battery tray and the sill:
That looks very handy! I bought EGR Block off plates on the offchance that either of mine might have EGR (my previous one didn't - not all of them did here). Time to go buy a spare ECU! :D
Well, in the UK, Kwik Fit do tracking...out here everything non French gets frowned at and 'tutted' over. There may be a place I can go, but what do you guys pay for alignment?
Pulls from the front - has been getting slowly more prominent over the weeks. Is alignment something that's like to cost a crapload and require new track rods?
