Well very chuffed with this morning as all went well with mr Carr on the rollers and the car achieved exactly what I was hoping for

Andrew Carr mentioned a problem with the NPS switch which needs replacing as he couldt get the correct timing to begin with.
Apart from that all went well and the car achieved what I wanted 304.5bhp which for a TD04 hybrid is good going.

So massive thanks to Andrew Carr car pulls like a train through the gears and very smooth to drive

Want to thank Neil@scoobyspares

Neil worked overtime last night to get my rear brembos, Godspeed discs and Kevlar fast road pads on for me. Now the brakes really do stop me



So now with brembos all round with Godspeed discs the braking over standard is so much better then before and has given me a lot more confidence.

Big shout out to scoobyspares again. Thanks chaps

Martin

 

Very nice mate they are top lads at Scooby spares

 

Certainly are mate nothing but good things to say about scoobyspares and the lads down there.

Almost finished for the winter now

Martin

 

Not much to do with the weather being so awful but decided to take all the wheels off clean polish and wax them. Couple of coats of the poorboys wheel wax and they look as good as new

Ran out of light so Couldt even wash the car

Poorboys



Before






Martin

Haha cheers Kev

Thought that was good power from the little td04 enough power for me mate this is the family car that goes asda every weekend

Martin

 

Today went down to scoobyspares to see the lads and had a front & rear whiteline arb and whiteline solid drop links all round. Must say the handling is so much better now I'm really pleased with the drive. Just need to get the geo set up and that should be the suspension finished




Also changed the plugs to ngk pfr7's and an oil change so sorted for the winter

Just like to thank the boys at scoobyspares again especially Neil always does a top job

Martin

Martin

 

Nothing new happened recently but tommy this ones for you mate scrawling through an old phone managed to get this pic of the car two years ago lol.

Standard grill, no splitter, horrid plate, wrx headlights, wrx scoop, no fog covers, crystal side markers



How it looks now



This one side on was when sat on Prodrive lowering springs. No roof spoiler either



Now on bcs



This was the rear when trying hawk lights, japspeed exhaust



And now



Your thoughts tommy lol

Martin

 

All that needs is a pair of arches now mart and it will be perfect……

 

Might have to try the poorboys stuff out

 

Haha cheers Ry how the arches coming along buddy

Martin

 

Descent stuff kas, did a lot of reading on what to use to stop the brake dust sticking to the wheels and quite a few rated the poorboys. Pita taking the wheels off to do it but well worth it I think.

Reminds me it needs doing again.....

Martin

 

Isit easy to apply? I would just leave mine on & do it.
