I'm impressed and very much satisfied by the workmanship and all the detailings that Mr C had put in. It was very clean and neat. If I didn't tell anyone about this conversion, I guess the person who was viewing it will think that this was an original EK3. ;)
All the wirings had been done up neatly. Sockets relocated according to EK3. Any missing brackets had been replaced. It wasn't the best engine bay but I'm still satisfied with the works. :)
We found out that the bottom of the engine was leaking when doing this conversion. After checking, it was the oil pan area that caused the leaking. So, a new gasket had been replaced. Then Mr C need to redo the wirings under the dashboard. I got scolded when he saw the bunch of messy wires under the dashboard. :)
The previous owner was the culprit. Hehe. So, Mr C had redo the wirings. To be able to do all the wirings, he will need to take out the air cond parts under the dashboard. So, I guess it is time to give my air cond a good service. :P
Well, enough for the long process. Let's view some of the end result photos. :D
Neat and clean...
Clutch oil container on it's place (just like original)...
Correct position of the pedals?...yes, very comfortable...
Gear lever with original EK9 shift boot...but with a replica EK9 gear knob...
Inside view after glove compartment opened...
No sign of any wires under the steering wheel...
Gear box internals before the casing been mounted back...
Another view...
Before cleans up...
After cleans up...
From the photos above, you can actually see that all the wirings below the dashboard had been tuck in and hidden. Very neat and I like that very much. Nice job on that. :)
What can you see from the before and after photos? Not much a different, but the obvious part was the inlet manifold area. That area no longer messy with all the cables and wires. The throttle cable had been reposition according to the original EK position. Changed the battery terminal connector to the snap on type. Much more convenient for battery thieves to steal my battery. Haha. :)
As for the performance wise, I must say that it is far more better than auto. The response was fast and great. No more lagging for the power to be delivered. ;P
I guess this is a very worthy upgrade. ;D
