Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Good job mate, looks like I have alot of work to do on the Williams if I want to keep anywhere near you on track next year. You got your cage sorted yet?

You certainley have come along way from someone who needed a hand with pads, discs and brake lines changing over a year ago. Very impressed!!! Might be asking you for help with fitting bodies next year if I ever get round to it!!

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Just had a good read through the last few pages of updates; very impressive, I imagine it'll be fantastic fun to drive!

Orange mirrors are a nice touch too

Not in this weather it isnt. The day i had it all fully mapped i had a tiny bit of fun on the way back home but apart from that its just been too rubbish to have any fun.

The car's been in the nice warm garage, and i've been using the old mans ST

Yeah I can imagine; I wouldn't fancy it in the snow and ice too much either!

Once the weather and roads have cleared up though... :race:

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

UPDATE:

Bit of a rubbish update to be honest.

My old man decided to offer to trim my grill so i could refit it.

Before

After

I fitted my K-tec filter the other day too, royal pain in the ar*s. Well i mean its quite fiddely.

The engine bay is a bit of a mess with all the wires everywhere.

Few jobs to do:
Tidy all the wires up
Fix the ECU's in a secure place
Paint the engine mount & Rocker Cover

I fitted my new AST collars for the top mounts today. So the top mounts are now as they should be.

Decided to give it a wash too.

Uber thick snow foam

Washed the snowfoam off, and washed the car

From the picture below you can see how bad the paint has got. The dirt just wouldnt wash off. So idecided to clay the whole car

Car is now in the garage and i'll seal it and wax it tomorrow

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

how much snow foam did you put in there to get that much ?

 

[Nafoff]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

are you not tempted by a new rad / rad fan? that looks a pretty tight squeeze.

looks 100x better with the grill on too, do you find the snowfoam much use?

The big snowfoam bottle only had a little but in so i poured it all in to the snowfoam lance. But the was more than i thought so i had about 2" of liquid in the bottle. And the lance was set at its max. Uber snowey.

Yeah I'd like a new rad and fan but i now basically dont have any more money left lol
I will end up getting one when i get a job. but for now i'm gona get some heat shielding to sit underneath the ITB's so the hot air from the rad/fan is shielded.

Loving the car! Saving for a 182 atm and want to go down the itb route eventually. Would the flames destroy your cat if it was still fitted btw? Any plans to change the engine internals further?

The CTS is all good, hasnt leaked a drop Thanks for your help

I'll tidy the wires and ECU's tomorrow

It wouldnt flame if it had a cat mate. I belive the cat only gets damaged when it is cold, so if you do lots of small journeys then the cat wont be having a fun time.

But with the decat it it'll spit them all day

Cheers

I never drove the car mapped correctly with the restrictive socks, but the power feels the same with the K-Tec sausage filter on and off. Very good filter, not restrictive at all.

You fit it by taking the trumpets off and sliding them into the sausage filter, then screw the trumpets back on. It's a little bit fiddely but its not too bad

 

[Guppy]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Need to get one then

 

[K-Tec Racing]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Ryan.... we have stock.... plus we need to see you on the rollers...

 

[Greeny.]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Had no idea you done this, alot changes in a few months lol Mental, finishes off the car imo, quality.

 

[Guppy]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Ryan.... we have stock.... plus we need to see you on the rollers...

Will try and get it down to you guy's in January

Will speak to Andy on MSN to sort a date etc...

 

[jamie rigby]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

when using them filters, do you not use a back plate like you have to with the pipercross 600 ones like mine?... fkin ball ache it was to cut out

need to get rid of the AC now imo thatll tidy the bay up alot .

flames are just like mine too

 

[sideways danny]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

exactly as above, no cutting needed at all, and it's massively cheap compared to a backplate setup

 

[jamie rigby]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

hows it held in place then, anyone got any pics of the filter from behind, or held in place etc?...

 

[sideways danny]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

stretches over the trumpets, job done

pics on there

 

[chrispy.clio]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Yeah as stated above, i stretched the filter over each trumpet. And then i pulled the filter away from the trumpets and it hold itself in place.

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Little update, Good and Bad

Took me so long to clay the car, ended up polishing it then 2 layers of EGP and then a layer or wax. So the paint was nice and shiny again. That was the good part.

The bad part...
The car had been left in the garage for 4 or 5 days. It was time to drive the car out of the my garage and the rear discs had binded (which they usually do if i put the handbrake on). Anyway i rev it a bit more and try pulling away and all of a sudden there is a loud crack, i drive out of the garage and go to pull the handbrake up and it comes all the way up

When i got out of the car i see the rear brake pad material on the floor and the backing plates still in the rear calipers. My spare rear pads and in Huddersfield and i'm 180 miles away down south so i had to buy some cheap rubbish from halfords. £20 later and the car was all sorted.

Anyway it was my birthday the other day so i got a new wheel and hub and i bought a new numberplate bulb

New wheel will go on at the weekend and the new bulb lol

 

[Guppy]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Bad times with the pad's!

Get your other one's in asap

What wheel's that mate?

Yeah the pads are sat infront of me but i'm in a cant be a***d mood lol

The wheel is a 350mm RMD dished wheel from the recent group buy, but i'm not using the g*y surround and i have some black countersunk screws too. I'll hopefully fit it at the weekend

 

[Guppy]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

lol

Lazy

Dished wheel is the way forward! Think i will be sorting one soon!

 

[chrispy.clio]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Should save a kg or 2 by taking out the airbags

I actually just want to drive the bl**dy car its just sat in the carpark in a foot of snow the ITB's are calling me lol

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Cracking job with the car, the car park photo shoot did it justice.

Mucho frustrating isn't it.

Love the steering wheel = )

 

[Slammed172]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

Don't they only bind when they get up to high temp then you wack the handbrake on for a while ?

Wheel looks good mate.

 

[chrispy.clio]

Re: One Year on & £**** spent

I may attempt to get her out of the car park tonight :S

Yes the pads to bind when they are really hot but i had not even taken the car for a drive that day and then i just put the car in the garage. I'm not just leaving it in gear from now on.
