Have to do timing and clutch on my 12v vr6. Seriously thinking pulling the whole engine and trans may be easier than trans alone
@thirdgeargrind803313 күн бұрын
@@NameName-eq7oe As someone who did this once on the ground in a parking lot I would disagree, pulling the trans was not as time consuming, pulling the entire thing would be more time consuming but would be better ergonomically.

@@thirdgeargrind8033 Thanks I think I'm going to just do the trans alone as doing timing is already going to be a huge job for me. I've heard it's easier to drop the subframe too but that also seems like more work.

Hey! Im curious, did you buy this car from an importer? I am also in canada and would love a bora 4 motion, but I don't know of an importer that brings cars from europe... Plenty for japan, but I can't find one for europe...
@thirdgeargrind8033Ай бұрын
@@jeremybriand5196 I bought it from it from goo net in 2018. I imported it myself but paid some brokerage fees so some of the work was done for me. Still had to go to a local office in person to pickup the papers and pickup the car from a local car dock with A to B insurance papers before working on the car to make the changes and repairs necessary for an out of province inspection. Europe is harder to export a vehicle. The hard part is finding a trust worthy company and then the shipping is double what it is from Japan even if you're on the east coast. Vehicles over in Europe are also more clapped and have higher price tags usually.

Doing a 3.2 engine at the moment, do you know if there is a bit of movement also on the exhaust variator when it's installed (I'm able to move mine, just a small amount), some say it's supposed to be 100% "stuck", other indicate that it is a small movement on that one as well, any tips appreciated :)
@thirdgeargrind80332 ай бұрын
It's only supposed to be a small amount, never as much as the intake one. On mk5 it has a little more play than mk4 due to extra variability.
