So went about doing the grease nipple mod on my RA rear shocks I've no idea if they were knocking but I wasn't taking the chance took me under an hour.. Impact wrench is a must have

Some pics

 

And wrapped my downpipe

 

Nice work Del wrapping looks well...

Martin

 

Cheers Martin mate 😁

 

Nice car! Just waiting for my spec c type RA to get registered so I can pick it up. What made you go for the 2.5 inch over 3 inch? Can't decided between the two, but edging to 2.5 inch, I also do not want it to loud.

Are you sticking with the standard springs on the RA struts?

 

Thanks mate

I stuck with the 2.5 because I've no plans to go over 400bhp and so it mates nicely with my 2.5 back box ... And as for the spring yes I'll be keeping the pinks as they will work better with the shocks than any aftermarket springs.. The cusco's that are on just now look great and handle incredibly well but their more track focused than my daily drive to work lol

 

Fair enough! Mine is going to be a weekend toy, so it does not have to be to everyday friendly. Although it does seem a real shame to swap out the RA suspension, so I am sure I will end up staying with it. It does sit nicely with the added 10mm drop anyway.

 

You'll make over 400hp if you wanted to with a 2.5" exhaust

 

I maybe should have said I've no plans to change the turbo so need for the 3" exhaust lol I like the way it drives as it is

 

I seen a few Spec C RA touch 400 on stock turbo with similar torque.

 

Nice we will see what I get out of it got a remap with andyf on the 17th 👍

 

On the scales

 

Never quite got near the 400 mark lol made 366/381 Full boost by 2800rpm feels quick though👍 That's just oem fuel pump and a decat and standard air box and panel filter so happy enough

 

 

Make the most of the nightshift

 

Cracking looking motor pal

 

Cheers matey

 

Perfect Del... We're those the figures you achieved on a vf36 mate?

Martin

 

Sure was Martin everything's stock apart from the full decat and a green panel filter that was in it when I got it prob could have squeezed a bit more with inner wing induction and uprated fuel pump boost set at -1.45 bar 👍 Road mapped by Andy f

 

Bet your well chuffed mate... Need to get me a vf36 now lol, mines is pretty much the same set up as yours but using the vf37... What back box did you use then?

Martin

 

Defo chuffed mate what a difference ,,what kinda spool and figures are you gettin on yur 37? Mate and I've kept the apexi on just now on close inspection the genome I bought is a bit rough around the hangers and the apexi does sound nice lol

 

Getting 340/375 out the 37, does spool very fast but I'm sure I'd get more with a 36...

Ashame about the genome, they are a lovely sounding exhaust. Sure you could move it on though Del

Car looks fantastic though mate

Martin

 

Their still good numbers mate is all about how it drives anyway.. We'll see what happens I'm still gonna try it on see how it sounds .. After I get a chance to put the shocks on lol... And cheers mate

 

Perfect!!!
Car
Performance
Enjoy

 

Yes I know they are Del although like the thought of faster spool you'll like the sound it's very different mate...

Martin

 

Cheers mate

 

I've defo got quick spool Peak tourqe of 381 by 3950 lights these potanza's up in just bout ever gear in the wet lol... I'll get round to tryin it on but condition wise I think it's not good enough for the car tbh

 

Wind deflectors on

 

And flaps on

 

what flaps are these? any problems with fitting? looking great and they are on my shopping list already
