Hi all, as most of you know, my g40 will be up for sale soon
i really dont want to sell it, but needs must
I thought id post a thread of all the recent work carried out as it gives a potential buyer much more insight to all the work carried out
Im nearly 100% finished with the car, got a few more things to sort and then i will put a proper for sale thread up
First off ill list all the work carried out 8k miles ago
The super charger had a full rebuild including every bearing and seal, even the wiggly eye bearing that is never normally changed. i also recently stripped it apart to clean it and and double check everything which was all fine, i did this with the engine rebuild so less than 100 miles ago
The rear steel brake pipes were replaced with copper pipes+ flexi pipes as well as new slave cylinders, rear drums and wheel bearings
New syntec fuel pump and fuel filter
brembo front discs and pads (still loads of meat left on them)
Genuine gearbox fluid refill and an LUK clutch

Onto more recent stuff, the Engine has been rebuilt less than 100 miles ago, is completely stock and runs so lovely! making it even harder for me to sell
I have rebuilt the engine with new;

All new gaskets, rocker, sump, both engine block plates, metal head gasket

Though the cambelt was only changed 5k ago i decided to get a new one anyway
water pump had only done 7k miles and was a good qaulity one
