No idea where the split pin is supposed to go. I honestly don't think its needed anyway, the tension on the clutch cable will hold the clip on so just assemble it as per pic 2 (once cable is through the bellhousing) and hook it on the fork.
....and while on the subject of awesome Mk2's......

Check out the rear wheels!!! 5"s of dish! :)
That's one pretty serious Mk2!!! Well its the first I've ever seen with paddle shift sequential gearing anyway!
Shift light is also pretty cool - The gear number turns red. :)
There's heaps of leaf blower vids on the 'tube....

This one draws a good conclusion though as they did it on a dyno....
Possible. Wipe the oil off and give us another pic.
However, it has newer valve stem seals whereas 3kbp's had the old o-rings.
Ports look big enough though!
These guys can probably give you an accurate answer to both questions. Unfortunately anything else that a member here would tell you is only really here-say. :y:
The head/pushrod/rocker gear etc info is deffinately worth going in the FAQ.
We should just re-name it "Anastasios's 'virtually' build my engine" thread!! :y:
^^He's said enough about leaves, so now you just need to do some googling to find out what you want to do.
As for shocks, anything adjustable from an AE86 will fit. IE TRD 8 way adjustables like what I have. :y:
Not really in a K box. There's no nylon bushes etc like say a mazda box.
Top bit doesn't unscrew. :y: Its rubber mounted, you need to basically break the rubber to take that top bit off. I had to do this with my T50 shifter as the TA22 thread for the gear knob was tiny. I busted the TA22 one off and then skiaflexed a KE55 type one back on.
Yep. I imagine buying a genuine one would again be pretty expensive for what it is. So.... try going to bunning and search through their stool (as in bar stools) end caps/feet and see if you can find one the right size. I used one once in a S1 RX7 gearbox! :y:
What size rear housing does it have. the low the number the quicker it'll spool.
I was going to offer to "road test" it for you if it was an SR one! :blush:
