2011_08_01 Taking the Turbo Engine Off

Finally I prepared to take off the engine from my Turbo one.
It took about three hours to do this work at service with some help.

Unpluging all the wiring and hoses



Cleaned gearbox

Cleaned engine
Now is the time to take off the head and get it to a service for a shim, because a gasket is going to be changed. Also I am planning to get the block checked and cleaned.

2011_08_05 Changing Rear Brakes

Before going to our local race track I decided to change my rear brakes.
My old calipers were completely stuck, brake discs very rusty and poor brake pads.
The new (From MR2 turbo) were much better all around and there was also braided brake lines.
Here you can see some photos:



 Now braking effectiveness is much better, but I still need to change front calipers, because they are still old and hardly working.
