New Member From The Netherlands

[hyperman]

Hi all,

My name is Hugo and I'm from the Netherlands.

Since three weeks i'm the proud owner of a lexus is200 executive

Before i had a mazda mx-3 which i tuned for about 3 years but the goals I had in mind were not possible with the mx-3.

I bought the is with some damage to the fortn and rear bumper that's why I bodykit will be intalled in june. It's a c-west kit with eyelids amd the headlights are being modified as well.

After that I'm going to prepare for an engine transplant but I'm not sure what engine. Maybe a 2jz-ge with a swiftracing turbokit or a 2jzgte with single turbo conversion. It depends on the amount of custom work required.

At the moment i'm replacing the timingbelt but i can't get the crankpulley bolt loose. It won't move at all. Does anyone have suggestion on how to do this. Does it come of counter clockwise? I tried both ways but no movement at all.

thanks Hugo

hi.have you tried an air impact wrench on the crank pully.a mobile tyre fitter may br able to help you out.

I have tried an air wrench but that didn't work, I have problems stopping the pulley from turning with my prevois car I blocked the crank at the flywheel but now I have an automatic and I don't know if that will work.
