Well after a failed attempt here to sell it I've began resurrecting my FTO. So I've decided to write about it and hopefully it could help out someone.
Engine is out on the stand awaiting new timing belt, pulleys and tensioner. Did some research on the tension pulley and discoverd it's the same as 1.8 Integra so I would have racing parts on my car
. The water pump has been changed and it was a good call because of the rust I saw in there, just horrid. Appart from belts and pump also planning plugs, leads all hoses double checking wiring, rotors, upholstery.
Shocks were changed front and rear, drop links, shock mounts, ends, wheel bearings (front), calipers rebuilt, brake hoses redone. The gearbox (f5m42) has received all new bearings and seals thanks to United Bearings and Cobratransmission.com.
Pics, part numbers and other useful info will be posted soon.
