WOO HOO, i found a donor car

[Arctic Alto]

Finally found a F8B Alto so i can use the motor.
It has a blown engine, but i was looking for one to reco anyway.
I pick it up this weekend.
I cant wait to get it reco-ed, and get my alto going again

Congratulations man!

Any chance you'll have it ready for the Gathering ?

(I'm guessing not.... )

[Arctic Alto]

Thanks tez,

I'm not sure on the turn around on a reco.
But i dont like my chances , ( i'll keep my fingers crossed )

If you don't already have someone lined up then SuziWorld can usually do a two-week turnaround.

If you want to sell the gearbox to help offset the rebuild cost then let me know.

[Arctic Alto]

Ive been talking with mick at Suziworld for a while now, he knows that i ve been looking for F8B.

As for the gearbox, the car has a 2 speed auto, i'm unsure what one to use.
Either the F5A gearbox or the F8B Auto. Depends what better suited for the F8B.
Havent made up my mind yet.

Which one did you have in mind brayden?

[Brayden]

Neither. Sorry I assumed the F8B Alto was manual.

The F5A manual will be fine for you if you don't do a lot of driving above 80kph. If you do then screaming around at 5000RPM will get old very fast.

I just went and saw mick at suziworld, he said that it will only take 7-10 working days to reco the motor
Just got to take the motor out asap. I've never taking out an engine before, But mick gave me some tips

Brayden - Most of the driving i do is around 60-70kph. So i gues thats a good thing

[Psi_Wagon]

if you do decide to get rid of the f8b auto, ill be keen to take it!

[Arctic Alto]

Hi, just an update.

I just dropped the motor off at Suziworld yesterday, Cant wait to see it finished, i've seen what they look like, they look great

Now i gotta take my old motor out, should be easier since i just done this one.
