Dave-350

I live in East lothian no places based near me , im sure there will be some good company's nearer Edinburgh that can give a good service

Double check cause they have guys scattered across the UK

Mostly because your altering the cars body and shape . So if I ever revert from this style or even go to resell . I mean yeah I know I may have to and when it comes to it I will . But if there is a chance I don't have to that's good

 

You are not thinking of flaring rather than rolling are you?

 

Put your finger under the arch and feel the lip, that's what you are wanting to roll flat... It would make no difference to the car when done right.

 

Yeah realised this . hahaha , ill show myself out ... Thanks guys

Sorry, didn't see the previous comments.

Google Arch Enemies for arch rolling services.

£738 for 245/40/19 F and 285/35/19 R holy f*** that's a steal!

 

I shouldn't have rubbing issues with these along side with the Eibach pro kit and 25mm spacers all around should I ?

 

As I believe this is nismo tyre fitment.

Nah I wouldn't think so.

excellent progress Dave, love the oil cooler how do you plan to monitor the oil temps?

 

I have ordered a ProSport Evo Oil Temp Gauge which I am still scratching my head as to where to mount it.

 

I'm mounting my defi 52mm temp gauge in the drivers door vent, I've ordered both just waiting for them to arrive then getting creative.

I need space for two

I will go with pillar mount or cubby hole.

not forgetting camskill, mytyres and tyreleader...

Not as cheap as above though!

£150 each for a 255 35 19. I paid around £180 from CamSkill.

Try OPENEO as a supplier for whatever you decide. Cheapest I have ever found..

Bloody cheap! Nice find!

Once you get coilovers and set stiffness you will be able to go lower for sure i think i can try it without rolling

What is the reason for trying it without rolling the arches? I don't get that... They will rub, it's as simple as that. Unless you plan on running it on stock height.

It's like £50 or something for someone to roll the inside lip...

I used Pilot Sport 2's then went on to Super Sports, Super Sports are the way forward.

You will have to roll the rear, no way out of it.

 

265 will fit fine.

 

 

 

Did you roll the arches for this? Could house a homeless family in there.

Because under load I rub

Well it would on stock suspension!

Plus, is that rubbing?

i think the sandwich plate still has the return open and just the flow opens up when up to temperature. its going to be tricky as the cooler is mounted upside down. still id rather spill some oil on the floor than have the motor run low.

Yea, I have just edited that last post regarding that. Hope it helps.

have you had any thoughts on how to fill the car with oil when the cooler is fitted for the first time? I'm a bit concerned that when i fit mine and first fire it up after fitting that the cooler will suck a lot of oil from the engine to fill it and run the motor dry, kind of like when the filter first fills with oil after a change but to a much bigger extent.

Yea, although it won't allow oil to pass through until up to temperature, what you are saying is correct.

What I would suggest is filling the oil cooler up before installing it. It will take approx half a liter of oil on the 19Row cooler, but obviously just check the levels when up to temp as normal.

If you find this too messy (as you need to flip the cooler to get it in to place.) Maybe add the oil as normal to the max line and add oil when it filters through in to the cooler. I can't imagine that half a liter from the Max line will prove to be a problem for a short amount if time as I believe this would be around the min mark?

I run Kakimoto Regu&R, Stillen Y-Pipe and BERK Decats.

The Decats will make a lot of difference.

Here is a video, although it's much louder in the flesh.

30k? Give or take a bit for miles, age and options?

 

can pick them up for sub 25k these days....

Yup, seen a few around £20k mark. Was about 2 months ago I checked a couple out.

Been a long time since I bothered posting on here or even touched the car.

So I gave her a treat to a detail / Light Paint Correction...

And ordered some new parts ready for this summers track days.

I have also ordered Coolant Hoses amongst other parts which I will update in due course.

I recently went and met up with a few guys on here to test the exhaust DB... 117DB, I need some bungs I think!

I thought mine was good for £299

And I wasn't being rude. Youd know if I was being rude, trust me.

 

yea he turns in to a Class A prick

Turns in to?

Depends what sort of adhesive. But tnt and people will ship it providing you have the appropriate labeles.

Otherwise Clarks transport specialise in hazardous goods, like adhesives.

On the roundabout which serves South Mimms service stop, M25 and A1. A lovely example of an 07 Azure HR (thought the Azure stopped in 06 and they didn't make it for HR?).

 

Anyway, 2 lads in the zed, I flash them from behind as I approach, come up next to them and give a thumbs up. Guy in passenger seat gives me a "weirdo" look, then as I move into the inside lane, he goes to the outside and the driver just blanks me full stop and take the exit going into the service stop.

 

What is it with these people? Is there really that much of a problem acknowledging a fellow zedder?!

 

Had a better response from a guy in an RS5 while we were stopped at traffic lights earlier in the evening. Few blips of the throttle to show off our exhausts to each other, a friendly thumbs up and off we went our own ways

Have you ever thought that they are wondering why a total stranger is flashing them and waving?

Just because they drive the same car doesn't mean they are your automatic best friend lol.

It is genuine Nismo though, its got a chrome badge on the back to prove it!

Number 177 of 176.

I will measure my cans and send you a message on FB.

Can you measure the bungs? I wonder if they will fit in my Kakimoto REGU&R.

It has the fixing point for bungs...

I will be having mine tested this weekend. I will edit this once I know.
