Payco Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 No, not me. Live just South of Haywards Heath and she's garaged until the Spring although she has just got back from RTP. Would be good to see you in Brighton and at the South East meets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaveney Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) A few more updates over the weekend I got done . Fist up was to clean then condition the leather seats . Then was the boot counter weight removal . Then last up was to re adjust the aux and air con belts as there was a little slack and squeaking on start up .

Kaveney Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Boot was still a bit sticky so put some plastic washers in the boot spring to fix this and make the boot pop up more . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry06 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Good progress so far. I think I have commented on your thread on pistonheads... I need to do the boot springs as my boot has started sticking. Guessing it's an easy enough job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaveney Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yes very easy I also gave the rubber a go with WD-40 as it was squeaking a bit when driving . Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafoam was done below x 1 can in fuel tank x 3/4 in oil ( run for 100 miles ) x 1/4 in brake booster pipe Then to drain the oil and seafoam out and do a fresh oil and filter change I changed my rad cap from the OEM 0.9 bar one To a Mishimoto 1.3 bar one Then last was changing the induction New Stillen kit with V/S ring K & N Typhoon Removed Stillen fitted Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaveney Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Off to Abbey Motorsport tomorrow for a Milltek Y pipe back exhaust . Then at the weekend I will flush / change my clutch fluid and fit a S/S clutch line . Update soon Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaveney Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Had a busy long weekend and got a few more bits done . On Friday i went up to Abbey Motorsport for a Milltek Exhaust to be fitted and check the tune on the dyno for the uprev . Old stock system The back box pipe had been patched up one already . New Milltek fitted Then the Dyno sheet that I was not expecting . + 9 BHP ad + 7.7 LB/FT from last time and the only changes were the Milltek exhaust and Stillen induction ( last map in Blue HFC , K & N Typhoon , HFC , P/spacer , Uprev ) The car started out in November at 225.6 BHP and 217.7 LB/FT And is now 252.7 BHP and 238.3 LB/FT so that's a + 27.1 BHP and + 20.6 LB/FT gain . Then on to fitting this little lot First up a grounding / Earth kit that I made up ( X 10 ) and cleaning the original earths . Then on to the clutch fluid flush / change and S/S clutch pipe . Old clutch fluid not looking so good . New ATE clutch fluid Old cutch pipe . New one I had some DEI gold heat reflect tape left over so wrapped this around . And fitted with some protection heat wrap . Only problem was I had no cutch pressure so had to prime the cutch slave to get the pedal back then bleed the system .

Kaveney Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Just to note for people looking at the Milltek after 100 odd miles the sound of the system is spot on for me not too loud but gives a nice deep base . This is with Cobra HFC . Also the clutch is so much nicer to use and lighter so I would recommend a fluid and pipe change to anyone .
