Attemping boosted ph1

[Cupman29]

No probs, should get it Monday. Most couriers don't do Saturday deliverys out here in the sticks in our wee village called Glasgow for some reason even if they charge you for it.

Reckon this could be the reason tracking/steering is out

How much camber!!! Btw how s**t do these front ends look without spacers

 

[imprezaworks]

mmmm thats looks strange mate, wasnt like that previously, it sat well.

 

[danh90]

I did have 25 spacers on the front before as never liked how the front wheels sat but seems a lot of camber still

 

[imprezaworks]

have you still got the spacers on?, in that pic.

 

[danh90]

No mate took them Off as I noticed it had developed a crack so I'm sending them back to eibach

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah righty. Do both sides look the same? And how low is it?

 

[danh90]

No the pass side isn't as out as that. It's quite low but nothing changed since last time you seen it.. I'm sure the garage will sort it when everything gets set up with the camber bolts ect

 

[imprezaworks]

I would hazzard a guess and just say the camber then. You going to give that garage i went to a try?

 

[danh90]

Yeah gonna get them to do it the say morning then drop it off to be mapped straight after then train back to sheffield busy day

 

[imprezaworks]

Very busy mate, bet you cant wait.

 

[danh90]

I can't wait to relax and know my cars sorted thats for sure lol bring on the track days to see what the cars made of

 

[BIGASH]

Did you fit an oil cooler in the end Dan? Will be good to see how this does

Def mate. Let me know when you plan something

 

[danh90]

Just gave the car a clean fair few marks here and there which and that the bumper Won't sit perfect due to the intercooler had me thinking all money I've got in this now why no split sell up and get a nice proper car but.....

That would be boring just anxious to get the thing finished now

 

[imprezaworks]

Dont sell mate youve done so much

 

[danh90]

Crap photo I know but I gave the exhaust some autosol today can't believe how much it shines

 

[Chip-mk1]

At this stage, I wouldn't worry too much about polishing the exhaust tip TBH, lol.

 

[imprezaworks]

Although tbf its a very nice exhaust

 

[danh90]

Haha chip I had nothing else to be on with..

Got all my tees ordered for the water pipes and actuator pipe.

New sump is getting dropped off at welders later

Also taking the grinder to my bumper later so it fits perfect again

Then just other niggly bits and its ready to go to efi

 

[Chip-mk1]

Sounds good to me mate

See you at bedford with it hopefully!

 

[danh90]

Just been on phone to scoff to get it booked in was talking about power and he says can run 230-240 and it will run forever 250 should still be very reliable which I'm more than happy with, so going to be aiming around that mark will be changing the clutch in a few months. Will be a nice weekend job for me..

Aslong as there's places left for Bedford this time next month ill be going and pitting the ph1 through its new paces

 

[Chip-mk1]

Excellent news mate

 

[batesey]

can you post up pics of the sump once done please dan

 

[danh90]

Yeah will do think I'm going to have it over to the right for clearance on the driveshaft

 

[batesey]

yeah thats what i was going to do but wana know exactly where you mount yours so i can do the same had it on the ramp yesterday and f**k me theirs no room lol

 

[danh90]

No worries just gotta make sure the pipe doesn't kink either ill let you know mate

 

[Laine_16v]

[danh90]

[danh90]

Ph1 bumper + grinder + intercooler = perfect fit

Also fitted some ph2 interior door handles to my cards looks much better IMO

[danh90]

[LiamR172]

When will you have it complete and running?

 

[danh90]

It'a running fine now with the waste gate open so not using any boost and only driving it under 3k revs

It's off for the ecu and loom making and mapping on the 26th and ill pick it up on the 2nd to see the outcome
