Them headers wow

 

More bits arrived this morning from cdf racing













Just waiting for my fuel lab fpr and grimmspeed maf blank to arrive

 

Brings back memories,your really going to town,it should make for quite a car when all the new parts are put together.SJ.

 

The rear drop links need doing, to be honest I think it handles abit look a boat. Just fancied new components to stiff things up abit after all it's 10 years old

 

Same setup my wife has on her classic,just make sure you get a proper four wheel laser alignment done,to bring all the suspension mods together and then you will really feel the difference.SJ.

 

Mine handled like a boat, the back end was always stepping out at unexpected times. I fitted a rear arb, drop links and took the car to Tweaks and he told me my shockers were beyond help. He then fitted me some BC Coilovers and took me out in the car to show me what it was capable of, I sh*t myself good and proper.

In a car that couldn't previously go around a roundabout at 20 I was suddenly in the passenger seat heading towards a corner at unmentionable velocity and the driver wasn't slowing down.

 

Cool

 

What about bushes on the car, will I have to upgrade them as well?

 

As long as they are not perished they will still be functional and you will be fine until a later date,so i would not personally rush out to change them all one time,just systematically go around the ones that you have not done and buy them and when your ready change the rest,that's what i am doing.SJ.

 

Sounds like a plan

 

That should handle awsome ,need some new wheels and tyres to complete the package

 

Quite like abw arches so would probably have to go wide. Probably won't be spending too much more this side of Xmas as I'm off work at the moment on crap paternity pay, need to get some money in.

 

Different wheels, I could get bigger brakes fitted as well.

 

They look nothing short of awesome, on the classic and newage. Deffo a mod I will do one day, I wonder what they will look like with the standard wheels on 20mm spacers.

 

Subscribed, will make for an interesting read mate

 

Turd would probably be my opinion!

 

Don't no about my wheels and spacers looks gd on angers car from looking at jap performance mag

 

Standard wheels to small for wide arches

 

My fpr came today went for a 2 port fuel lab in the end

 

More parts to arrive next week:
. Grimmspeed maf blank to fit my rcm truimpet, going to go maf less, will need alcatek ecu and fancy a toucan display in a custom housing
.bought a hdi front mount intercooler with reverse piping and a tial bov off a scoobynet member

Also started the car for 1st time in 2 months and took it out for a run to free things up abit.

 

Looks like it should be a good build mate, keep up the good work!
