Right, we're nearing bonus payout time, so project GOK is about to go live!

I'm about to enter parts gathering mode to get ready to hand everything over to Geoff, my friendly goliath of a mechanic, so I'm trying to think of all the parts I'm going to need.. This is where you come in!

Project GOK is an engine replacement, but while I'm at it I figured it would make sense to bash in a new clutch, chuck a new clutch master cylinder in and do some other bits and bobs..

I need to build a list of parts required, and suppliers for said parts..

Firstly, and most obviously, is the engine.. things should follow from there Wink

So folks, what are your thoughts, lists, recommendations.. etc etc..

(btw, GOK is Mk1 Eunos (1.6 4 slot))

Ta!

What do you want to do? Drop in the same engine? A bigger engine? Any performance mods?

And why do you need to change the clutch master cylinder? The clutch slave cylinder I can understand as it's often the cause of issues (plus it's only £14 from MX5Parts).

If you want to fit a stronger clutch, a standard 1.8 flywheel and clutch will bolt straight up without any mods.

Or for a few extra quid as you're changing the engine anyway, you could go for a 1.8. Either fabricate a couple of bits for the mod if you're handy with that sort of thing, or buy the adapter kit that FM sell.

Engine is staying the same, and you're right.. I meant clutch slave..

I would write more but I'm somewhat tired, this flood thing is getting rather annoying!
