Asad Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Great list mate, will stay in touch with this project. Quote
Kaveney Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 At the weekend I did the diff oil change parts . The filler plug was a PITA to get off but a bit of heat sorted this . The plug had some shavings and sludge on it and the oil was a darker honey colour so a change was a good plan . Quote
Kaveney Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) So on Friday I went up to Abbey Motorsport to have some Cobra HFC and a Milltek Y pipe fitted and the Uprev done . Y pipe HFC Uprev with print out The car started off with low ish numbers but saw some good gains in the end . + 19.3 BHP and + 12.9 LB/FT Converting this in to old money ( on a rolling road and not hub dyno ) this should add 30-40 extra BHP / LB/FT and make the car around 275 BHP an 260 LB/FT The car Is loosing power and torque with the K & N typhoon fitted as the temp was going up and the std exhaust will not help this as well so if I change this and add a V/S to the air intake we would see around another 7-10 but the extra noise of the K & N is worth the loss so this will be staying .

Kaveney Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 Another update time . On Monday went to Abbey Motorsport for some suspension parts and to turn off the engine light that came on after the Uprev . First was two new banana arms Then a Whiteline front anti roll bar set to soft with Whiteline drop links . Then a Whiteline rear anti roll bar set to soft with Whiteline drop links . And today I set the rear up to medium for the ARB Car is now much more tight and flat and turn in Is much sharper . Alan Quote
GMballistic Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Very nice Alan. Had a lot of Whiteline products on my old Subaru and was always very impressed with the quality of their products. Quote
keithvmx1200 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Good posts and liked the pics but I would get rid of the tax disc as not needed to show now. Regards Keith Quote
Kaveney Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Yes will need to remove this . If anyone is looking to improve the handling the Whiteline set up and new banana arms Is a good move . Alan Quote

Kaveney Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 And a quick oil and filter change . Quote
Kaveney Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 So this weekend was the brake upgrade / change . Fist up was to remove the front discs and pads . Front disc not in good shape Or the pads Then to fit the new front disc and pads Then the front S/S brake lines Then on to the rears with old disc and pads removed Then to fit the new disc and pads And the new S/S lines Then it was a brake fluid flush / bleed to finish off . Alan 1 Quote
Kaveney Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Just one thing after doing this I have got a cold so have not had chance to bed the new pads and discs in so will be doing this tonight on an empty D/C . What is the best way for this 8-10 60-20 MPH stops ? Alan Quote
Kaveney Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Ok so after putting a few miles on the brake setup I can report my thoughts . The S/S lines have made the pedal much firmer and it does have less travel and has taken out the squish . The new discs and DS2500 pads have given the car much more stopping power with no fade even from 70 MPH . If any one is thinking about this setup I am very impressed . Alan Quote
Kaveney Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 Not many updates just a quick clean and wax . Next up will be the exhaust suspension and tyres . Alan 1 Quote
