You should just clean and use the original filter sock the new ones are too small and can clog easily. I looked at mine after a near and it had all sorts stuff stuck to it, put on the old one for peace of mind
Got cooling plate thingys and an alluminium expansion tank

Good steady progress fella, very nice :)
Had to be done dude :)
What camber are you gonna run on the rear ? What tire sizes are you running front and rear ?
there is just standard camber arms in it at the moment. Running 245/45/18s on the back and 225/40s on the front.
Fitted bushings! Drilled them out then cut the metal and pressed in the new ones!!

I was told these wont make feck all difference to the car but was fully convinced when I drove it the it felt much better. My old bushings were fucked
The cars are only getting older.. well worth swapping out the bushings on anything that can't be replaced with a spherical bearing... fairly cheap mod as well

Got a blitz dsbc, power fc and hand commander, Z32 and already had 550cc injectors so got onto robbie today in tdp and booked the car in for mapping on monday, cant wait.
Spotted ya today, must say the car has some road presence in and around cork city and all the hum drum standard cars!!!
How much we're the pads out of interest, must sort my hand brake out!!!
Cheers dude, its absolutely filthy tho needs a good clean and a polish.
Think the pads were 60e or something like that, not much more anyway if they were. Hows your car coming along? Been following the build thread, looks very well
It's taxed and tested so I'm gonna drive it for a bit and enjoy it, must get cracking on the wheels too!!!
Must get to A few meets in it soon, might catch up with ya for a chat!!!
Brought the car to tdp today for mapping and absolutely delighted with the results. Made 382.8bhp and 356.5lbft and pulls like a train.
Ill get pics up of the dyno print outs tomorrow!
They are awsome results man, Robbie seems to be the man to go to these days. lovley looking car btw
