[ekev9]

Alot of work is going into this car best of luck with the project

 

[021-bennettt]

Very nice eg, looks like you're doing top notch work too looking forward to seeing some videos of it out on track!

 

[NIcad7]

Been pulling off old bushes today, great job! Even managed to get a molten blob of rubber in the eye for my efforts

Front end done, will be getting all these parts off to the powder coaters Monday, along with the rear end which I still need to pull off and remove bushes

So they look like these! DC2 ARB's

And so I can fit these!

Also fitted one of 021-bennettt's diffusers to my mates EP3, Ill get pics tomorrow of the finished product with the cut in standard bumper, looks and fits really well!

 

[NIcad7]

Oh and bodged on a 'Coolant Bottle' as the original won't fit with the thicker rad

And also received my new ECU from H-Tune along with the bushes (Great Price by the way)

Had some fun yesterday and today...

Bloody rear toe arm bolt snapped off inside the chassis! So gave up yesterday as I was pissed off haha

So attacked the offender today, here's how it went...

Started with a bit of open surgery

Pulled out the offending bolt and slidey nut

Welded back up and cleaned a bit

A bit more filing and a lick of paint later - job done!

I welded in a static bolt and have order up some D2 adjustable toe arms so shouldn't matter hopefully!

 

[NIcad7]

So thats the back end all off an de-bushed, everything is de-bushed finally!

Taking all the arms to the powder coaters tomorrow, in the meantime I'll be refurbing the brake calipers and sorting a few other jobs before it can finally all go back together

car is looking great budd, stripped my EG6 now, but havent tryed taking the sound deading out just yet , what did you use to take all yours out ?

 

[NIcad7]

Hammer and something strong and flat i.e. Screwdriver.

Try and get as much out this way as you can then use petrol and a load of rags to wipe out the residue

 

[walle]

and has changing your ecu made a big difference ?

 

[NIcad7]

Can't tell you yet buddy, getting the car back together tomorrow!

So today Ive been refurbing the brakes, new seals all round and a lick of black paint - nothing too flashy. Didn't get pics but will do once they're back on the car.

Also fitted this "ASR" subframe brace, ignore the gipping LCA's will be buying some posh ones next week but I'm a bit strapped for cash right now haha!

Also got the front tow hook mounted, sticks through the left hand duct in the bumper, solid!

Filled the car with fluids and appears the Tegiwa radiator has a minor leak somewhere which isn't good. Have sent them an email so hopefully they will sort me out.

And as promised a few pics of the EP3's finished diffuser;

So tomorrow I'll be collecting all the suspension arms from the powder coaters. Unfortunately he didn't have time to paint them just blast them off for me, so I'll be painting them first thing and pressing in the energy bushes tomorrow afternoon and getting it all back together tomorrow night - phew! Got a lot to do!

Been a while since my last update, been extremely busy with work

But managed to get some more jobs done this weekend. First off the car wasn't starting so replaced the coil and job done!

Then it was time to pull the ABS, replace the lines and fit the bias valve...

Now you see it...

Now you don't...

This sucker was an easy 10Kg's!

Decided to utilise the front brake lines to save time, although it made the lines look a bit spaghetti style...

Then onto the rears. Run the lines inside the car for the bias valve...

And all done!
