feel the need for a quick update as its over due...sadly lacking on pictures
Ive got pretty much everything ready to go now
got the loom back off ryanmt last week got to say nice bit of kit there and his works very tidy
, i ordered a few more bits of silicone hose to finish off the cold side of the turbo as the way i had it setup in the previous pics wouldn't allow the rad to sit where it normally does so I've had to bring the complete cold side over by 100mm (4") this has given me plenty of clearance
.
Also decided that i needed new mounts as the ones i had on the engine/box were shot so quick order last night with bakerBM saw me £150 out of pocket but with a nice set of grp N top/box mounts and a solid ali lower mount, these will go with the bakerBM Grp A lower fork bush i recently acquired of a mate
.
With the mounts sorted i decided that the next port of call was a decent set of pads as i don't want to use the pads that came with the brakes on the front so quick ebay bargain and i came back with a set of yellow stuff pads and 2 bottles of dot 5.1 fluid. (waiting on delivery)
After that i was browsing in the for sales and spotted something i liked, a quick convo with dan ie paxo89 and am now the owner of his gizzmo MS-IBC boost controller looks like a nice bit of kit and straight forward to install compared to the lc-1 wideband which is a pleasant change.
I also realised that my boost gauge only goes up to 1bar so thats been replaced with another tim smoked one that goes to 2 bar
(still waiting for delivery)
I seem to of developed a taste for screamer pipes recently so quick hunt around and i now have a adapter to go in-between the mani and turbo which connects to a 38mm 10psi wastegate with dumptube (needs modifying to clear and get out the bay) just need some more vacuum hose now to hook it all up.
Next up the dials were looking abit bland so in goes some plasma dials, chrome rings and carbon (really bad quality not happy at all tbh) did a mock up and it looked ok but my chrome rings wouldn't fit, out came mr stanley and 40mins later this is the finished result.
The next port of call is the suspension, the kit I've got on mine now is brand new and has only covered 2miles but I'm very tempted to quickly jump on the group buy on owners and get myself the gaz gha coilover kit. This is more for piece of mind knowing that I've got 'better' suspension and won't kill me at the slightest bump/bend.
