Well its been a long time coming just down to the fact I've been rather busy with the house, work and other peoples cars! Always the way I guess.
Anyways a lot has gone on since the last update so lets start with some nice pictures of some shiney bits. If you remember last time I had took my Sachs dampers to Simon at CF for a full rebuild, de-pinning and powder coating.
So heres the results, must say I was very happy with the results ans Simon commented how well they tested on the dyno!
I then coupled them with some nice Pure motorsport top mounts Eibach sportlines which I got at a very discounted price
Next up I replaced both inner and outer track rods, not many pics here as I got well stuck in!
Old stuff
New stuff
After all that the car really does feel great to drive, nice and fresh and handling great
Also fitted some new rear brakes as pads were very low and discs had seen better days so got some rear pads and discs and bearings off t21 ads
Got me moneys worth?
Next I treated it to a new exhaust, old janspeed was a little tired and had been chopped about a little so I replaced it with yet another janspeed but this time with a decat and straight through centre and new mounts
Old system
Old vs New
Sounds great and nice and quiet whilst on the motorway
Boot full of bits
Also picked up a second hand ktec induction kit
old airbox
new ktr kit
Sounds great and little tight fit but proof will be in the pudding when I put it back on me mates R/R
Passed its MOT with flying colours
Next up some pics of it on the RR before its new exhaust and induction, pretty standard tbh.
The results, fairly happy tbh for a standard car with a blowing exhaust
Fairly happy for a standard car with a blowing exhaust.
Next up I changed the aux belt as it was due so here's some pics
And refitted in reverse order
fairly straight forward job, I've done enough bits again courtesy of t21 ads.
And thats it really, so far the past 12 months owership have been a pleasure and can't see me moving it on for a while. Heres a few pictures of it all tarted up and clean.
And a few after a drive out with Northloopcup (marc)
Enjoy C and C welcome
