Dave_ciw 507 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Mine has an extra section on the hot side making it sit further from the manifold. This must of been for its OEM application. Looks like I will be buying new. Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Not been much to report lately. Got my oil feed and drain lines sorted. Had all my engine bits back from the powder coaters so I can start putting everything back together! Had my Brembo calipers done at the same time. I got a quote to have them refurbished by a well known caliper company and they quoted £250 to do the calipers. Extra if they had to replace seals etc.... I bought a new seal & bolt kit for £59 delivered. Came with lines, bleed nipples, Caps, bolts, seals & dust boots. The powder coaters charged me £20 a side to blast and coat them. Decals where £10 for 4 High Temp ones. So all in all I saved myself a few quid I think doing it myself.So armed with a brew made by the wife! I set about rebuilding them! Really happy with the way they have turned out and rebuilding them was a piece of piss I would strongly advise anyone to do their own before paying someone! Plenty of videos etc and it really is a simple process. Laters B4VR6, bennyk, matty.vrt and 6 others 9 Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Haven't been on in ages. Had so much going on with my businesses and shit! Plus with not being able to sort the alarm issue with the car I put it in an unused spray booth at one of my places and left it there. Got an auto electrician I know to look at it and he found a split in the starter wire. So now she's firing on the key I am happy again. As it sat for so long outside my garage it's in a right state with mould on one of the seats. Absolutely gutted. So I spent the day yesterday putting it back together and removing the interior. Fixing a seized tailgate lock and realising that both window regulators are f**ked. Ordered some new rubber and brakes to go with the brembos. All being well two weeks she will be ready for a detail. One of the lads who works for me brings his dog in and their is some scratches on the wings caused by the mutt. So more to be done Anyhow cheers for popping in! Loving the new app!!

Dave_ciw 507 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 So went to have a little play at my garage this afternoon. Car in the air test fit brakes. Looking good While she was in the air I was giving her a look over and started peeling the under seal away which led to this! So looks like a rep are is in order. Just glad I started prying as it was not noticeable. Glad it's been caught. This is what happens when they sit unused. When is the first show again this could turn into a lengthy strip down lol Bealieboy and bennyk 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 1st show= ultimate planks next year and you're starting way too early Dave, you need to leave it till 2 weeks before mate for full engine build and paint! Dave_ciw 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Well the chaps finished the floor today. From these scary things. To this welded sealed and painted. In car shot. Underneath Then finished off with some sound deadening. I can now put some damp core in then refit my professionally cleaned carpets and start rebuilding this wench! Brake pad fitting kit for Leon Cupra R brembos. £160 a pair on mainland UK. Or £100 a pair from Seat Belfast. Managed to find a used set on the rear of a maserati coupe. They run the same calipers on rear!! Price for a couple of springs though is shocking!! Anyhow loads more to do before tatton D11PS and VR6Pete 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Well popped to my garage to do a bit after work this evening. Got my new brakes fitted. 10mm spacers just don't cut it. Ordered some 11s. Need to get it back on the road soon . Just wish weather would improve. Balanced all my wheels when fitting the new Yokies and one has a buckle from a pothole on our shitty road. Sent it off today to be repaired. Will send bill to the council. Laters! Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
