So final fitment:



So my stainless plates for exhaust that wherent really stainless or a shite quality stainless needed painting so quickly wizzed them off



Took the car out tonight after I fitted the rear clam and the car has bee setup a little different than the norm, so the vtec is set really low so no torque spike when hitting it like it used to be (drives like a normal Na now) definitely feels quicker

Geo is all over the place from the change of toe links so need to take it to back on track ASAP and get the same geo I had put on it as that is epic!

Need to dick around with throttle pedal spring and itb return spring but thats about it really. Off to Munich tomorrow so will order a assortment of springs for when I return!

But here is the engine bay with clam etc back on. Pretty happy with how it looks



The new 600bhp air filter has made it super quiet which is epic for track but.... Im going to buy a k and n for road use!!

Nice work Joe. Looks amazing. What's the big black flexi pipe running down the side and into the subframe?

[siztenboots]

Missing bolt on camcover?

[The Batman]

Na thats for coil pack cover Its to get air sirculating in the boot and hopefully force the hot air out... every little helps right

[Mattyboi]

That looks great, I need to get down to a sprint and see it in anger.

Come to Snetterton  

[Mattyboi]

Very tempted as I've got no other plans for that day.

[The Batman]

Well, thats the bulkhead sealed up, tiger sealed some carbon fiber in place.

 

Also added a extra spring to the itbs which has helped them close quicker which is good, downside is the pedal is stiff but wil learn to like this until after the weekend.

 

Geo tomorrow

 

Mot thursday

 

Then its just fit the rear diffuser and hopefully all ready for the weekend.

Jez doing the Joe superfast geo special?

[The Batman]

Offcourse why mess with perfection

[The Batman]

Big thanks to jez at back on track who sorted my geo out and ride. Also they helped try and improve the itbs idle Mot tomorrow. Then all set for this weekend!

[The Batman]

Diffuser is on now, couldnt wait for the stainless bolts will fit them when they arrive! Also a new go pro mount fitted as my harness bar one doesnt fit with the new bulkhead Also modified map sensor hoses so they cant slip off accidentally So mot is last on the list I hope! Fingers crossed

Why the new geo? I thought your last one was excellent, or have you undone/changed some parts?

[The Batman]

Changed my toe links My quantums at front have dropped 8mm aswell

[Mattyboi]

Springs settling or something more serious?

[siztenboots]

probably just top platform nut unwinding against the thread due to spring torsion

[The Batman]

Not sure why but was only the fronts. The rear was bang on. So if it was unwinding I would have thought front and rear would be effected and also the fronts would be effected differently so Im guessing its the springs Anyways... Passed mot with flying colours and Ive done 1100miles over past year

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

At least your front didn't lose all there oil like mine

One of my rears is leaking alot of oil. Refurbs are overrated though.

Possibly diving whilst braking, fronts take lots of weight and compress, whereas the rears unweight and elongate.
