Ickle ickle update.

tyres arrived the other day picked them up, been using Toyo T1R's for years on different cars so thought sod it, ill try some Yokohama Prada Spec 2's. mixed reviews but i thought why not !

Also some other little goodies !

New spark plugs, Hamp oil filter

and finally dad his picked up his new car the other day - Jaguar XF 2.7 V6 Diesel, sounds pretty cool for a diesel tbh ( nice mondeo )

I used to use t1r's then tried the parada's they are better but ad08's are far superior again,

Where was the car dyno'd? AP motors?

 

[Aleex]

yes . well now called AK Motors ( believe they went bankrupt ).

probably me being a sour lemon, there rollers maybe fine but the car read a bit under standard power. they don't seem the most the competent?

 

[b16 mini]

Yeah they aren't the best up there a load of us went up there years ago and had all sorts of funny numbers, my nine came out with higher numbers though,

Your 9 looks very nice btw, seems very clean!

 

[Aleex]

Very clean EK9

Also just ordered, tegiwa whales ***** induction and got a heat soaking reduction tool in the pipeline for it ( thank you shaun )

new o2 sensor, i thought 22 mpg in my civic was acceptable but apparently not lol so hopefully that should rectify the problem

and a new fuel filter to complete the service, leads can wait for now as there are new-ish and in good condition ;D
