Just messaged him

[Eric_Sn@il]

Big box arrived



2 of these inside



1 fitted



So much nicer to sit in now, will be much easier to drive long distances and not get cramp! haha!

[Eric_Sn@il]

New seats all fitted



Arty farty interior shots -




New rims arrived too -




Check out that dish on the 9s! The hipsters will be getting wet seeing that



tyres should be here friday, then next weekend will try and get them squeezed under the arches on the front!

[Cosmic-Dan]

Serious girth on them new rims

Looking forward to seeing them fitted

[Eric_Sn@il]

New tyres arrived -



Just a tad wider than the 225's

Popped them on, and did a little 'jigging' of the arches, which involved removing basically everything from the inside of them

And the result is no touching what so ever! Must admit i was shocked after seeing how tight they were. Some fitted pics -





Love the dish on the front ones!




And then finally the little lad wanted his new whip sorted, so we lowered that for him too.



Just needs some arch flares and the electrics putting in now

What offset did you go for Eric? Are your rear arches rolled I assume...?

17x9 et23 front
17x8 ET35 rear

Rears are rolled. Flared and bumper brackets removed

[Butter Face]

Such a bonkers looking car! Kudos to you!

[Eric_Sn@il]

New prop valve arrived, once thats plumbed in it should be much nicer



Replacement LCA bushes -



Hardrace replacement bushes for rear arm



Finally some new pads too, went for Pagid RS29's



Just waiting on new polybushes for rear arms then good to go getting it aligned again, finally just need 2 more brake lines making to plumb the prop valve in and its good for some track days this year

Where did you get the hard race trailing arm bushes from? They look easier to fit than the energy suspension ones I have!

tegiwa funnily enough!

[Eric_Sn@il]

Rear all stripped down to get the replacement bushes in -



Had to cut my old arms to get the hubs off, can see where the metal insert has fused itself to the bolt -



Also noticed how bad the rear trailing arm bush was when removed, good job i've changed it!



LCA's had fresh bushes put in too, and were looking a bit crusty -



LCA's all cleaned up, love the machine work on these! -



Similar issue with the hubs -



Hubs with new bushes in and cleaned down and tickled with some paint -



Would have been rude not to replace the rear drop links with some heavy duty ones while it was all off



All bolted back together and looking fresh 8)



New pads fitted -



Old ones still had a bit of life left in them tbh -



But some cracks on the surface :/ -



While i had the pads off i chucked some new track rod ends on and fresh boots -



Also up top, i noticed my new spangly top mounts were maxed out camber wise but touching the inner shock top, so gave that a slight notch to let me max them out if i ever need to -



While i was doing that on the passenger side i noticed my aux belt -



so new gates belt purchased and new pulley as that had some play in it too, so better to be safe than sorry

[1812_s]

did you notice much difference with the bushes in the rear ?

[Eric_Sn@il]

havent driven it yet, still up on stands

[Eric_Sn@il]

Finally got the 40/40 prop valve plumbed into the braking system, SO much better pedal feel now. and no pad chatter win win. Got it all hidden and protected from the heat under the scuttle panel too!




Also got the airdam made for the bottom of the bumper, should stop air being pushed under the bumper and push it out around the sides



Can just about see it in this picture all fitted -



Since then just been out driving it getting some miles on it and enjoying it, bedded the new pads in, they are ridiculously good!

Popped up to the malton meet couple of weekends ago -



Seemed to cause a bit of a stir . Also a few pics from a jap meet the other night -










also finally got the little lads power source sorted for his car -



Just need some sort of handle to push him around now

[Eric_Sn@il]

Awesome day at Blyton yesterday, even though it was wet, car was awesome as always





Dried out in the afternoon, so went hunting



did a full session with these 2 just swapping places and being fairly even tbh



Cant wait for the next one now

[graeme01]

Dropped the gearbox oil -



So i just pulled the box, obviously something bigs ****ed, 1hour it took -



Clutch release bearing is ****ed



that has peppered the clutch



just hoping my diff and final drive are ok when we strip the box

[Delboy23]

Any warning about the box bud? No noises etc before hand?

[Eric_Sn@il]

not a thing. cars I pulled the splitter off to check for the exhaust noise. then noticed the leak! still drives perfect
