I think it's a fair price for "branded" seat's unless you want to go with less popular brands. In terms of stability and holding yes, bit better than OEM but not a huge improvement as I did order without talking measurements. So i guess if you do proper homework you can find appropriate size. For me main factor was to reduce seat height as I have issues on track days with helemt on. Scraping the roof. With 4 point seatbelts they will provide exact needed hold for track days. I did wanted to go Recaro Pole Position bucket seat but at the time i didn't have cash for pair. Maybe in future. Thanks for the info Yes pole positions are lovely as well I'm keen for some nice seats at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snjur Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Ordered this morning Whiteline Anti Roll kit which includes 33mm front sway bar, 20mm rear sway bar, rear mounts, front and rear adjustable end links and lateral locks front sway bar. Although swaybars are smaller in diameter than OEM one's they are solid type instead of OEM tubular. Front has 2 adjusting points while rear has 3. According to WL they offer increase of stiffness from 100-150% comparing to OEM's and depending from settings. So far I had OEM sway bar on front and Godspeed rear at rear end. Front Godspeed couldn't fit due to pipings of Greddy TT. This was a good combo as car was more "netrual" on the steering but down side om track was extensive body roll on front. I really hope with this I will achieve desired effect on suspension and car will feel direct on steering wheel, precise and agile on tucking in to corners and locked to road/track. Im still to install Vibra-technics engine and Gearbox mount, all suspension is already on polyurethane bushings, so this is a final touch related to suspension and generally on this car. Looking back I think it is easier to count things which are stock on car than which have been upgraded and modified. From chassis, Brembo calipers, Bose speakers and amplifier, steering wheel everything else has been upgraded in one way or another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snjur Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 Started today with remaining bits and pieces. Whiteline ARB and endlinks installed. Looks like quite decent and quality product. Can't wait to test them. Vibra-technics engine mounts and gearbox mount are set for tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snjur Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 So, finally done with engine mounts and gearbox mount too. Was really PITA but we manage. In short lines car was on lift we unloose engine mounts and than with hydro lifter raised engine from below. Issue was we needed to remove a lot of pipings from turbo and IC to get enough space to remove old mounts and insert new. This was also good opportunity to clean and degrease majority of pipings that was removed. After that, new air filters where mounted. Bit of piping on both side needed to be trimmed but improvement should be noticeable as they are almost double of size than previous ones. And finally i got a chance to see new digital cluster's which replaced old analogue ones. Awesome!!! So much information that this has feature of diagnostic tools. Each digital cluster can show any available parameter from ECU. If any parameter is exceeding safety margin there is a warning led light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now they are intended for Haltech stand alone ECU but he can work them out for any standalone unit. If there would be enough interest he could develop them for standard ECU. Cool little thing as you have option of monitoring loads of parameters on a single gauge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snjur Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 So finally did a small test run on a country road close to the place I live. Huge transformation with Vibra-technics engine and gearbox mountas. Feeling is like i have a new gearbox. Changing of gears now is much more direct and precise. It will be very hard to miss gear again. That loose feeling of shifting gears in mid cornes is gone Whiteline ARB really cool upgrade. Car has much more grip now. Before it was going so easily into slide and oversteers. It didn't need any special effort to slide. Now with ARB up different story. Much more traction and to initiate slide or oversteers takes much more power on pedal than before or playing with steering I still need to do geometry as I have tyre rubbing on the rear end. I reckon 2 degrees camber will be needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350Butcher Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 With standard power those mounts are a great upgrade......with 700hp+ trying to tear the engine and ‘box from the chassis even better I’m sure! Glad you rate them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snjur Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 To be honest I like firm and stiff ride, and although majority of car has been changed and upgraded I can't say that Vibra-technics mounts have contributed in any negative way. I can only say positive comments on this upgrade and no any negative side on comfort or anyg unpleasant vibrations or noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall i just went with cheapest solution eBay or something similar. I'm 6.1" and i do not have issues with height except on track day's with helmet on. Than i could use inch or two of clearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snjur Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Replaced few bushings on rear end, Energy Suspension Out Strongflex In. Also replaced polyurethane bushings from Kinetix camber arms (Energy Suspension only available for this). I was having issues in getting rear geo settings right. Rear fender arches have been rolled out, in order to eliminate rubbing from rear wheels. Need to test result but I think during winter I will do a proper extension or rear wheel arches as well as front ones and paint job of fenders. Xeonon washer caps glued. Aluminium center rings for Work Emotion wheels fabricated. Downside i have noticed crack on right side exhaust manifold. So far is not leaking but still.... Makes me feel dull Edited June 12, 2018 by Snjur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
