Update regarding the diff just spoke to the previous owner he says that the lsd has been upgraded and that the preload has been also adjusted thats the reason for the noise theres nothing to worry about.

Cant wait to drive it on track hopefully by next week's saturday event if i get it working 100% 1- yes thats the same location as mine what would be the operating temp? Online i saw that 200 is the idle temp but mine goes above and the thermostat is still closed 2- yup i do have the exact same waterline routing which i see is weird having the expansion tank below the the engine. Overflow coolant goes to the tank not sure how it goes back if needed. 3- should be correct 4- its stock didnt change the shims i do have 2 shims on each side. saw a video on youtube that replicates the exact same sound but its not that big i have it only when at the beginning on heavy load not all the time. Fast forward to 1:55

Got the car on the ground took it for a spin and she pulls like a train didnt expect this at all 😍 have some issues i need help with please. 1- where do you guys have tour coolant temp sensor located 2- whats the water circulation like and expansion tank located i think mine is just bad 3- the spring part of the thermostat faces the engine or have i installed it incorrectly as it never did open. 4- my diff makes weird sounds just when i try to move the car while having the steering turned fully to the left i would say when the diff is in high load. As soon as it moves sound disappears. If the steering is straight theres no sound. If the car is moving and then i turn left keeping up the speed it turns fine. Is this normal with the lsd or maybe the lsd is roasted. As my westfield has lsd different diff though and doesnt make this sound. cant really compare cars as the weight also is different the full platform is different to. sorry for the long explanation would appreciate your inputs thanks.

Fluids in no leaks so far got the engine back running sounds good revs good. Next is getting the front hubs and brake lines bleeding. regarding the engine mounts i had to drill a new hole to make it fit without having anything else touching the chassis.

Engine mounting points have been changed as one of them was cracked. Decided to go with thicker stronger material. Engine, gearbox and axle are back and all wired up. Rear wheel bearing hubs are changed and installed back. fuel tank is also cleaned and installed back. New fuel lines installed. Ill add fluids to the engine, gearbox and diff today and hopefully start the engine. im facing an issue with the exhaust manifold as the engine mounts have changed a bit by just few millimetres now one of the tubes doesnt fit correctly ill have to maybe bend or maybe add spacers to the mounts to get it align. question about the gearbox mounts noticed that one side is flat and the other has bumps which side face the chassis? I just guessed it since i guess it wont make a difference.

Received the new oil sump today from Toda. The fitment was on point 😊 engine is maintained and ready to get back in the car. Got the diff back after changing the seals and the bushings. Hopefully by the next few days ill have the engine and trans back into the car.

Honestly i have no idea how the speed is measured i didnt see any wired in the rear shafts neither the ring could be on the front or maybe the gearbox. My plan is to install a haltech ecu with dashscreen so ill rely on gps speed and wont need any of the current gauges installed

I agree, i also thought the diff was broken after inspection everything looks good.

Yes ill give that a try.

It could be, when i got the car it was almost impossible to push the car. And when i could it acted like something was holding and releasing i thought the bearings were broken or something like that.

Its just one side. Forgot to mention that it has a hydraulic brake system installed could it be thats the reason? Im planning to remove it though.

Got a question regarding the hubs the rear left looks different than the other side is that normal?

Yup tried that and honestly its clearly bent.

Yup removed

I do have the AP2 f22c engine and did trim that part off and on the other side it still didnt fit. The corner of the gate on one the left side also hits there is barely no gap on the front side to.
