Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Just read through this log. Love the work you've done and the choice of mods.
Looking forward to see how you get on with the RS2 manifold

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
There's still a little bit of life in my Parada's yet, but these were on special offer from blackcircles/tesco tyres.
So, I thought I may as well get them now and have them ready.
1276 tesco clubcard points from them too :rasp:

Liking the tyres. Good alternative to Hankook RS2s, now they've stopped making them

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Hoping they'll be very good.
From comments/reviews I've read, it seems they're in another league to the Parada's, which tbh I've been really happy with!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
I got them from Tesco tyres, however, the price has gone up slightly from when I ordered (Wednesday night) :S
Very good service, as it's just through black circles, but with clubcard points.
I paid £312 for the 4 tyres

Those tyres look good, hopefully they won't have side Walls made out of cheese like the spec-2's (I'm too use to R888' steel sidewall)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
The AD08's have steel sidewalls
Looking forward to using them tbh.
Should be this morning. :evil:
Thanks!
If you were going down the cammed route, you could consider the JMS RS2 intake also.

Sadly, no delivery this morning probably with it being Saturday.
Assuming it was collected from JMS yesterday as planned, hopefully it'll arrive Monday.

Have you used a machine polisher before mate? Just wondering, because I'm interested in the same kit that you bought and your results look goooooood!
love the car btw and with a RS2 will be epic

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Tom said he''ll track it and let me know when he has a chance
No, I've never used one before.
I followed the guide over on detailing world (very comprehensive, explaining and showing every step).
Basically, it tells you to start with as light a polish/pad combination as possible and work up until you get the combination that works best.
Yep! Suppose it cannot be helped though.
Have to say, Tom pulled out all the stops to get my kit finished and assembled over the last couple of days. The purple bolts I asked for threw up a bit of a nightmare; after considering the options and deciding what to do, Tom sorted it very fast and efficiently. Brilliant service.
On another note, reversing down my mates drive this evening I cracked my carbon splitter; the drive was a bit too steep for the cup :dapprove:
Would the full pre-prep carbon one from steamline be more durable than the K-Tec ones?
I was just going to order a new K-Tec one in the week, but if steamline ones will be more durable, maybe I'll go for one of them instead.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
No worries, mate. I appreciated you taking the time to reply earlier when you wern't at work.
I don't think anyone will deny couriers aren't always the most reliable service.
Hopefully they'll bring it on Monday.

The rallye looks in fantastic condition; very impressed by it.
I'll keep an eye out for your Clio.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
I don't think any particular person makes a stronger or weaker CF splitter. If it's just scratched it then wet and dry sand it and buff it up with your da. Worked a treat on my splitter

I thought the streamline one was pre-preg moulded, whereas the k-tec was fibreglass covered in carbon. I'll have a look into it.
It's actually cracked it; it's taped up for now! Haha!

Olly, what pads are you running at the moment? I'm planning on getting some made up. You have the superlite calipers correct?

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
on my clio
i used a medium compund pad, with a swirl remover - 3 passes, starting at stage 1 to work it in, stepping up to just over stage 4 till the polish all breaks down
then i used a fine pad and compound for 1 pass, again at stage 1 then upto just over 4 till breakdown.
i spent 45 mins testing pads and compound mixes on a general swirling on my monaco, so hopefully, yours wont be far off that

I have the midilite calipers
These ones, running Ferodo DS2500 pads at the moment.
Probably the best/closest photo I have of the caliper.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Not really a big or important decision, but, replacing my damaged splitter...
I'm not sure whether to get another gloss finished carbon splitter, to match my front diamond.
Or, get a matt finished splitter and put the original silver/chrome diamond back on.
Thoughts? :approve:
