hooray, the mighty 2.6L kicked into life last night for the first time. the importer told me the engine had a death rattle that he was sure was the big ends, so I went to all the effort of pulling it down and changing bigend bearings that had nothing wrong with them, grrrrrrrrr. only to fire it up last night and find the pulleys on the front of the crank are loose. FUC#&ING USE#*%*DHD*&$&^#@H&#H*&SY#&D&Y&@^S#^D BASTARD!!!!! :x
anyway, it starts first kick every time and has the smoothest idle of any single point engine I have ever heard. I hope to have most of it done this weekend and maybe some pics soon :D

nice, is it the turbo 2.6?

yup, 2.6L with the plebe of all pussy-whipped plebeian hair dryer turbos known to man, the TC-05. coupled with its pathetic poofter wind-me-up lackey band spring coiled slush-o-matic auto, what a rig. but it has a sun roof :D
