  1. Hey guys I'm having a really shit time with the 6 pot k sports - no matter how many times we bleed them the pedal is still awful

     

    Hel braided lines all round

    Abs deleted

    Only thing I haven't changed is the master cylinder

     

    Has anyone had the same issue?

    Brilliant clutch and excellent pedal feel, I have the same clutch on my V

    Hopefully I'll get to try it out pretty soon been a very long project that wasn't actually meant to turn into this but once I started I thought well - I'm this far in I may as well just do it all properly and once still not fully happy with the car but it's alot better than it was

    What power do the oguras handle does anyone know?

     

    Got a gold intercooler for a really good price on eBay to continue the white and gold theme

  4. Few more updates - Ever since I bought it was leaving big blobs of oil on the drive so my mate stripped it all and so far we have replaced

    OEM oil pump - old one was severely worn

    Timing belt and tensioners and water pump

     

    Crankshaft seal, Camshaft bung, Rear main seal, distributor o ring seal, rocker cover gasket, basically any seal we've replaced, ORC Ogura is going in it soon with miller's gearbox oil

     

    Also bought a carbon spoiler from Fiske which should look good

     

    And relocated the battery

  6. Hello folks - I do valeting/detailing with my best friend when im not working away from home and I've been at it probably 4-5 years properly

     

    So I've attached some pictures of the glanza which is my own but was in dire need of bringing back to life

     

    Products used:

    Vertool forced drive, Scholl concepts S20, Infinity wax snowfoam, lake country pads, waxaddict subzero and randoms wax, chemical guys p40 polish, madcow, trolls breath for degreasing the wheels and inside the arches

     

    Unfortunately i got no pics of it on stands I cleaned the whole underneath before starting the rest of the exterior

     

    Any questions fire away
