Cal Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Full DE kit in red please I'm skint till the end of the month, but figured it'll take that long to get another 10 going? Quote
madmikester Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 ill have a full de set in red if this is still going Quote
Paddy78 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Cal, I'll add you to the list for the next group buy (Assuming I do one). Mike, you have a PM. The Group Buy is now closed. I will likely do another one once everyone has their bolts and gives feedback. Quote
sloutrou Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I've been struggling with this a bit today... I've got a DE, all fine up until the following Bolts 14 and 21, seem to be far far too long, I tried several times on both and got to the point where I wasn't prepared to force them in so have left them for now, can anyone else can tell me if they've managed okay (I don't have a plenum spacer of any sort). Bolts 15 and 16 will require the use of an allen key as there's not much in the way of room to screw them down. Bolt 20, the head of the existing bolt sheared off this morning and although I disconnected the coolant bottle to try and get some leverage of what was left of the bolt from the other side, it seems to go through a nut of some sort and I've broken three drill bits trying to drill it out, again have no choice but to try again later. Bolt 19 is a pig to get to, be very careful you don't drop it which is what happened to me, so I'll have to remove the undertray to get to it before the car comes back out of the garage (it's been sorn since last September). Really pleased with the way it's looking so far,didn't realise quite how long it would take though!! Edited March 2, 2014 by sloutrou Quote
Tinyflier Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Collected mine from Royal Mail office this morning, printed off the pics as a guide. With a nice weekend weather being forecast this might see me buried in the engine bay (as always much to the amusement of my fellow apartment dwellers) OR I could wait a couple of weeks until I move when I will have a nice double bay undergound parking area at my new apartment... Either way looks line fun time and give my engine bay an early spring spruce up (now that I have my plenum and cam covers all blinged up!). David Quote
Almeida1234 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I have done most of mine. Regarding no 14 it was too long so I just didn't bother forcing it in so left the original nut in its place. Haven't done the plenum yet as I am getting mine polished. Quote
Paddy78 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Guys, Sorry... only just seen the recent posts in here! I'm without my car at the moment so can't check the bolt lengths. I'll sort no.14 out for you all and will investigate no.21 as this should be identical to the other plenum bolts? Quote
