work on car all done

[B6lee]

Yea well then pistons a going back in today so I'll have something more productive to do then

Will look good once it's all back in together

 

[B6lee]

Well the engine build went really well. all back together nicely and looking good now I have also freshens the engine bay up. Will get some pics up soon

Engine is ran in now. My freshly re built turbo is sounding sweet and here is my latest investment. If I'd had one of these before then I would have seen it was running lean and done something about it. Never mind, it's done now and I have something new to keep an eye on things

Well courtesy of opie oils latest deal I had a awesome deal. Got this and gave the car it's annual gearbox transfer and rear diff oil changes.

Already had some Ayc fluid on the shelf so together with a fresh set of plugs and a trip over to see my man Antony@indigo-gt for a health check on the boost and fueling as she has done around 800miles now since the engine re-build so it was time to open the taps and go play. Yea, she feels goooooooood

1 fully serviced Evo ready to roll

Next stop, coilover swap

I've just removed the tein coilovers I fitted previously as I wasn't happy. Suspect shocks my need re build so I got the Bc coilovers back out the box and ordered some stiffer springs for them as I was getting far to much body roll when they were fitted before. I ordered 10k front and 8k rear as this is what was fitted to the tein.

The result, perfect although maybe slightly to low for the track with my wide wheels as I do get a very slight tyre rub but that was only on track and as its a road car it's fine and looks the balls

Coming along nicely aye, get some pics up mate
