That's the same kit but with the Go-Tech ECU which I'd not heard of really until Jam-sport sold it off the shelf so no idea if it's any good or not! Jamsport do some really nice work though

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Okay bud though so lol bit more than what you said but I got plenty time to shop around lol.

Going in there soon to get some coilovers fitted so will have a word with them while I'm in there. No doubt they will talk me into it even more lol.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Awesome thanks a lot mate

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

No worries. You'd struggle to find someone on here that knows as much about these kind of installs as Matt

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Got 3 wheels back now from Wheel Works, one was beyond repair, but Chipmk1 has kindly let me borrow one for next month till I can find one

repaired and painted in Porsche GT silver. Believe it or not I didn't choose the GT silver as it was another Porsche colour lol. It's actually as another customer was having the same colour done and it worked out cheaper to get them done the same. Especially as I was already getting trade price

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

They look lovely. Centre caps?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Well I bought them with centre caps, they're still at wheel works. Need to go back for the other wheel any who

Trying to send you a PM Neil just want to ask you quick quez

[Silent_Scone]

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

So as this is basically 80% Porsche now, when will you be fitting the boosted flat 6 in the boot ?

 

[Nafoff]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

will send over the details in a pm tomorrow mate

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Developed a knocking which develops longer the car is driven and play in the wheel. Seems the hub nut is constantly trying to break free. Suspect wheel bearings so will replace both fronts and hopefully it'll go away. Bit annoying as the weathers been awesome this weekend, but the car has been sitting for over a year practically so things like this are bound to crop up all in one go now...

Oh, plus it's french

 

[Russ_16v]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

There is near enough nothing left to replace mate, shitter to hear about the bearings

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Aye well it seems anything that hasn't been changed is now breaking lol. Not going to have time to get it sorted until Thursday now, so hopefully it is just the bearing.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Just did a quick shop of the GT silver F1s, picking the final wheel up on Wednesday.

 

[Nafoff]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Since last update I've not really driven the car much, had chronic front wheel play which I've since sorted with new front bearings and hub nut. I wasn't able to get the wheel bearings done and car back together in time for the Burpspeed day at llandow, which left me in a s**t mood when I went away this week.

Was greeted to my shock back from Bilstein on my return so managed to get the car back together and all seems well. Fingers crossed thats the end of the problem list for now, Brands on the 31st of July booked for evening session.

Car is now finally my daily driver again till Winter. Have fitted GT silver F1s this afternoon too with the V12s, cheeky iphone pic.


Heres to hopefully some trouble free motoring for awhile now. I pray

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Silver f1's look perfect on your car, makes it look very subtle

 

[Russ_16v]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Prefered the red ones

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Can't please everyone :rasp:.

Although I don't think I'm a fan of the Hankooks :/

 

[Jonny1*2]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Have to agree with the majority. The red complemented the grey very nicely. Get them F1's PC'd black as I think that might look better than silver :sleepy:

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

New wheels, or a respray !? Bring back the red !

What's wrong with the Hankooks ?

From what people have said, the sidewalls are to soft in 15" ... They are fab in the rain though

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

I think it's because my geo is now out a bit in fairness. And yes to the side walls, I thought the Spec 2s were bad for that.

These are another set I've accumulated! I still have the red ones, going to wrap them in some decent rubber when funds allow.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Thank goodness for that

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

They look a lot better in the flesh, I didn't want to go black again, they're a nightmare...and also mainly for Vauxhalls and foreigners.

Go well with white though Lewis :rasp:.


iPhone pics are fan-tastic . See, even the 50s pickup in the background has red wheels. So last century.

 

[Russ_16v]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Still prefere the red ones :rasp:

(PS, text me back you gimp)

Have to agree mine are good in the wet

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Not much else to report with this, car is back with TDF this week with suspension problems. Caused by the AST top mounts...the bearing had seized in one of them. Also the top nuts are absolutely crap, they do not stay torqued up for love nor money. Needlessly complicated lumps of crap!

So I've gone for the puremotorsport kit which is being fitted in replacement. Unfortunately TDF had already modified my B14 dampers to fit the ASTs, so have had to make me up a couple of custom tophats to suit the pure kit.

All in all not the end of the world, the pure kit is fairly cheap.

Few things on the shrinking to do list are, refurb and paint calipers, bleed brakes, fit passenger side subframe, finish custom head lining, fit reflocked dash.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

very nice - how would smoked side repeaters look ?

 

[Gray]

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

If you come to CSS I'll make the effort to go?

I really like the silver wheels, but I think I prefer the red...

Not sure, bit pointless lol

Right now, I definitely aim to be there! With silver wheels lol

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner

Not going CSS. You live 45 mins from my house. CSS is somewhere near Aberdeen ? I've no idea, I don't even know when it's on.
