1CE Posted September 14, 2018 Author Posted September 14, 2018 Fitted the Torqen 15mm spacers today to the rear. Considering they are only 15mm, they make quite a difference . It's also made me realise how cruddy it is back there . So now I'm adding new discs and braided lines to pile.. Cruddy AF! 1 Quote
1CE Posted October 18, 2018 Author Posted October 18, 2018 Couple of new additions for under the bonnet . Needless to say I'm going purple underneath . Very happy with the bonnet struts! Why all cars don't come with these i'll never know.. Quote
1CE Posted November 11, 2018 Author Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) So I finally got my Torqen HFC's and Stillen You Pipe fitted and holy sh*t does it sound and feel savage now . I didn't think those 2 changes would make so much difference in noise! Just need a remap now! I'll get some fly by's!! Edited November 12, 2018 by 1CE 1 Quote
Payco Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you have fitted your bonnet dampers upside down. Edited November 12, 2018 by Payco 1 1 Quote
1CE Posted November 13, 2018 Author Posted November 13, 2018 Could have sworn I double checked... Or did I have the instructions up-side-down.. . 1 Quote
Payco Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Easy mistake to make, you aren't the first and wont be the last. Easy to fix and they will work better. Quote
davey_83 Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) I have Circuit Sports ones and fitted this way also. Gas springs are commonly installed with the rod in the downward position. This will allow the oil inside the system to stay in contact with the sealing mechanism in order to keep it moist, thus prolonging the life of the gas spring by keeping the seal from drying out.

1CE Posted December 28, 2018 Author Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Little update but more to come... Decided she needed a good clean and wax since passing a gritter.. I swear I cannot do anything without him wanting to get involved . EML also seems to keep popping up after fitting my sports cats. Getting the codes read today but I'm hoping it's just needing a remap now.. Edited December 28, 2018 by 1CE 1 Quote
1CE Posted December 28, 2018 Author Posted December 28, 2018 Think I just answered my own question lol. Got myself a Bluetooth obd 2 reader and the torque pro app. All point to the O2 sensors . It's a brilliant lite toy!!! 1 Quote
davey_83 Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Those sensors can be mapped out during the UpRev tune. Those sensors with the HFC maybe out of scope to what the factory parameters are expecting to see post cats. 1 Quote
1CE Posted December 28, 2018 Author Posted December 28, 2018 Ahh I was hoping it would be along those lines! Another excuse for an uprev in the new year . you know what's also great about that app? I don't have to do the peddle dance to clear the EML! I simply send the command to the ECU via the app . Ben Quote
davies700 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 good build so far, that mines style lip is the best i think, cant wait to fit mine 1 Quote
1CE Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 Thanks chaps . I don't suppose I'll have much more to do this year to it as we plan to move house . Quote
1CE Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 So being the crazy that I is, I decided to clean the old girl whilst it was hailing yesterday . Nice and moody! 1 Quote
davey_83 Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Yep as crazy as the rest of us, neighbors must have a right giggle - looks tidy. 1 Quote
1CE Posted March 23, 2019 Author Posted March 23, 2019 Haha, my neighbours are always popping out to see what I'm up too . Done a few little tasks today that have been bugging me for a while! Sorted the rear bumper rattle...It was missing it's clips that hold it to the bracket, cheap easy fix! Also adjusted the handbrake, polished the headlights again..And polished the exhaust! No wasting time.. The Das Pro came out! Autosol to the rescue! Pleased with the results! Before After Quote
1CE Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 Soooo I finally changed the diff oil last week (First diff service at 70k) . Not sure if this is good or bad but the magnet is doing its job . Quote
