Renparts was the cheapest I could find when I looked for genuine Magnetti Marelli injectors, delivered in a couple of days too :up: I got them off their website rather than on eBay
Only a small update when we did all the work a few weeks ago noticed that that both the engine and gearbox mount were done for so swapped the engine one today for a brand new one and just need to organise the gearbox mount now. Did 100 miles today and all good :smile:
Goosed engine mount...
Small update from today, changed the temporary 3mm rear spacers for 10mm hub axle spacers, what a pain in the arse it was fitting them :smile: won't be doing that again in a hurry. Couple of pics below when I got home, was thinking of going for 20mm spacers on the front but am liking the 16mm at...
Cheers @OssPoop much appreciated, have just gone back and looked at the pics on the first page when it arrived, it has come a long way you don't really realise till someone points it out :smile: just enjoying messing with it :up:
The fitting is pretty straightforward, although someone else actually fitted it :smile: I was there though, it's the adjustment that takes the time, we got it so that all 5 gears are perfect and reverse needs a little gentle persuasion at the minute, am hoping to tweak again, it's best if...
It helps I have an Alex down the road :smile: it is getting there just doing what I want to it really no real plans for taking it on track etc. although think I am going to try and get a passenger ride on track soon so I may well get the bug for it :up:
I keep meaning to get some paint on my calipers, are you having them painted or powder coated? I have put Spax RSX coilovers on, I wasn't supposed to be as the cup shocks and springs were new all round just before i bought mine earlier this year but these things happen! I am still tweaking them...
It makes a massive difference to the shift, a lot more direct and accurate, you can feel the shift a lot more a lot less vague. I was tempted by the BMS but a few people said go the whole hog and get the PMS so I did, also helped that one got offered to me and I got to test drive in a Ph1 first...
It's getting there :smile:
From what I understand will help in the mid range and lose a bit at the top end, it feels quicker but that could just be the fact I had all that work done at the same time and am sure when I have a remap and get the most out of it will make a difference but can't...
Well it was a busy day yesterday, didn't get many pics during because I'm a bit hopeless :smile: I was helping with the work though so that's my excuse
New OEM Valeo clutch in situ
PMS gear shift in place, very interesting picture 😂
Beautiful wrapping and tinfoil on the manifold...
Hopefully you don't end up breaking it, it would be a shame as it looks great but you have to do what you have to do, hopefully you find a buyer soon :up:
Looking good, making some good progress, look forward to seeing the wheels, I was running the cooksports up until yesterday they ride well am sure you won't be disappointed :up:
Well today was the day the list of things that got done thanks to @AlexW was
- Ph1 gearbox
- New OEM Valeo clutch
- PMS gear shifter
- Starter motor
- 182 manifold
- Decat link to exhaust
- Spax RSX coilovers and tracking
- 3mm rear spacers
- 16mm front spacers
Some were planned some got added...
Loved the R26 I test drove, the LSD made it for me, great fun, may end up with one myself at some point, shame about the Impreza but hopefully onwards and upwards, look forward to seeing what you do with it :up:
Clio looks great especially on the 15's, haven't seen it before, good to hear you rate the Spax coilovers as I have some to try on mine soon :up: Megane looks great too, they have really grown on me, shame you can't keep both
Hadn't seen this for a while it's really coming along now, look forward to seeing what happens next, you must be really pleased with the progress now :up:
Nice to see another cup on the forum, looks tidy and am sure will be great once you have done everything, look forward to seeing what you do on it :up:
Sounds great, glad they were able to sort out the issue quickly and you could get all the other bit's done as well. You must be really happy with 180.9 I know I would be :smile: how does the arb feel? I know you haven't had a lot of time with it yet :up:
I think that is a good price, will be interesting to see what yours is making when you first get it there as is already has a map on it and then afterwards, like you say it's all about the drivability rather than the power, I have said a few times if they could make mine 172bhp that would be...
