The problem we are getting in Trinidad is that we cant get the parts for the ZL-VE ie the valve seals, and the SVT system itself. and the SVT system uses oil pressure, so mechanics dont know so they just put any body oil in the car. It supposed to be 10W30. I am looking for the same shop manual u are.

i will see what i can do.. i will write to some of my nz and russian users, let's see if they can get any useful info...i mean i do have a japanese EPC here in my secret box of files ^^ (which would be useful to search for parts) but a workshop manual is required anyway...

Is the clutch cable or hydrolic?

BTW I already have a brand spankin NEW short-block sealed in a box ready to be put in when my current E5 dies.

Some minor issues with the install. I hope that the mech was able to get through to Khaleel and get it sorted out.

I was really hoping to get my car back for my B'Day tomorrow...but I guess I'll have to wait 'till Friday. :cry:

Dude!

Nik, I'm just wondering why you feel you need a box? De Sport 20 with tip iz de bomb...you have there the best of both worlds...why change?

AcousticEng, so far the conversion takin at least a week. Hoping to get the car back on Saturday...dunno yet though.

But the mech say he takin his time and checkin everything before putting it up.

wagonrunner · Postby **wagonrunner** » March 30th, 2006, 9:14 am

computerman,
i outside. pros - car wukkin good so far, and i re-learning to aggressively drive g/b. so i have to learn to shift from 2 - 3 quickly to tke you on the 1320 :twisted:

cons - ron's did the car, while they did get the job done, it's a pity they werent cleaner. my upholstery now has to be cleaned of grease. aslo, they didn't align the car, so that still needs to be done tomorrow.

Computerman · Postby **Computerman** » March 30th, 2006, 9:22 am

I was hoping to get my car back to carry it in early Saturday for alignment. But I might not get it back 'till Saturday afternoon or maybe Monday. :cry:

wagonrunner · Postby **wagonrunner** » March 30th, 2006, 9:26 am

damn.
dont sweat it, at least, you should have no unforseen issues when you get back the car.
alignment is relatively minor. cleanliness is a big issue with me, and if you see d state of my seats and trim :evil:

, i could deal with the cleanup for body / engine bay. but lawd. :evil:

AcousticEng · Postby **AcousticEng** » April 1st, 2006, 12:42 am

i have just one green and silver team renesis left from d last set. its all alone.yea computer man d reason why d sport20 man wants to go manual is

1) more power put to the road not lost though a torque convertor,
2) better car control , gearing down, and up
3) a chance of an LSD.

a transmission just does not cut it, activematic or not!

Hot of the press, i getting a ZL-VE engine complete without tranny for $6000. anybody want? Can get d gearbox for it for $1500.00 too
