Made a start on stripping the engine last night. What an absolute state.
Measured the offset on the new wheels - ET25.

Bought a thing yesterday.
Some of you may have seen this for sale.
Gearbox from an edition 30. Full rebuild including the fitting of the wavetrack diff / arp hardware. As you can see from AKS it’s a expensive bit of kit, plus the fitting!
I paid quite a bit less than this.
Also included was a brand new HEL braided clutch line £55 when new.
Can’t wait to get this built back up again!
Cheers,

Happy New Year all.
A few new parts have been bought:
BarTek Billet rocker cover
KO4 injectors
Subframe deadset kit front and rear
VIS HPFP internals
TTRS LPFP
310mm Rear brake set up
I have sold my 996T front brake set up and purchased a 370mm floating disc, DB9 set up
Silicone DV relocation hose
Alloy radiator
ARP flywheel bolts
RS4 FPRV
I have also cut the balance shaft cog off my oil pump.
I've also painted the block and ordered a lot of new hardware to refit everything.
All my Powerflex bushes have been removed in order to clean them and have all suspension components powder coated.
I will update once everything gets delivered with pictures :smiley:
Cheers for now.

Not a huge update, but I’m off later to collect the DB9 front brakes, 310mm rear brakes, TTRS LPFP and the AEM meth kit.
I’ve had a lot of the powder coating done now. Will update with pictures soon. I’ve also fitted the billet rocker cover, KO4 turbo to the engine.
I also decided to buy a private plate...
Thanks it for now. Hopefully the next update will be lots of pictures of new parts

So, I went up to Bury St. Edmunds Saturday and got the following.
Aston Martin DB9 calipers
370mm reyland bells and rotors
310mm rear brake set up
TTRS LPFP
AEM water meth kit
Couldn’t resist test fitting the front brakes behind a wheel
I think it was well worth the 6 hour round trip
