the bell housing dont meet the bolck, explosing the flywheel

i like this car, how is it progressing?

cheers mate, goin well, just getting it straight, was doing the aux belt today an noticed that in the previous post, a bit worried about that tbh!

are all the bolts joing the bell housing and block intact and tight. sometimes there is a gap, i wouldnt worry if all bolts are there and tight

its all tight in there, nothing moving around or anything.
found out that at some point the gear box has gone an been replaced with a meggy 2ltr item, the bell housings are diffrent and dont mate up perfectly but apprently ita a better box to have an no adverse affects with the flywheel exposed

Anyway of making a shield for it on the "what if" situation?

that was what i was thinking, like an extended sump gard or somthing, looking into it now

Just some 1.2mm plate bent to cover the opening. Or a under bonnet tray??

apparenlty is a 1.9d box, better acceleration out of it.


still got my old wheels, may end up gettin them powder coasted black

bit of a mad idea came to me yesterday, while cleaning the filter on the clio
ive ordered a converter for the throtel body to make the outlet 80mm in diameter tho route the intake into the scuttle pannel(perfect heat sheilded placde for the filter.
ive seen people just use this for a cold feed, but im gonna mount the whole filter in there. need to move a few things round first tho, but at least i dont have to move the battery yet!



using the accords old kit, needs some cutting to fit tho, the car and the pipe!
