toad compact c5 cat 1 alarm and immobilizer, fitted by mint car enhancement in hucknall notts. recomend the alarm and the company mate. can get you a number to call if you want it mate.
its just with it being direct forced air flow that im unsure of. ive had it there for a couple of weeks now. have a look at my thread to see where and it seems to be ok for now. just didnt want the force air stopping the engine breathing mate.
yet again my clutch is playing up. its been doing it on and off for about 4 months. its fine one minute, i do one bad launch and have to slip the clutch a little and it then slips every time i boost for about a week........and then goes back to normal again with no slipping i dont get it. any one know what the issue may be, surely if ive burnt the clutch out then it would not recover and go back to normal??? to solve the problem im thinking a CAP paddle clutch. ive heard good reviews and the price is cheap enough. any opinions on this clutch? this clutch will not come with a flywheel. is it possible that its my flywheel thats damaged and this clutch will not solve my problem? would people recoment a lightend flywheel for street use? any info is good as this is stressing my head. thanks keiran.
catch tank fitted, cant see it too great in the pictures but looks class in real life. its actually the only place i could fit it, remember where you seen it first if people copy lol
you wont get the castor bushing with ricks kit though. and the whiteline one is a straight fit too mate. depends what you buying it for really. traction or cornering. cheers mate, im hoping it looks good. i also have fittted a catch tank in a new place that i havnt seen any one do. just not got no pics of that, might go take some now.
anti lift kit is pretty much a piece of piss mate. the only problem you WILL encounter will be getting the old bushes off the control arms. but fire is your friend! just burn them off. just use lots of wd40 on the bolts too. another thing is to make sure you use lots of grease on the new poly bushes you are putting on. i greased mine up and they still creak so i think i need more on. in terms of how much they have helped its a little difficult for me to say. i had rear arb and a full set of eagle f1s to put on at the same time. the improvement was massive but obviously i cant put this down to the antilift kit its self, it was a combo of all 3. i still get wheelspin so it hasnt helped me majorly in that sense. but the extra grip around the corners and noticible absense of understear is good. maybe down to the castor bushing. worth the money i feel. 2 more parts on the way. one engine related and one kinda styling. pics will be up when they arrive.
i disagree rick. i have filter, decat, fmic running, hks actuator at 0.8 bar on stock ct9 with no bov and it chatters like mad. i know it wont be nothing compared to what you get but it still sounds class.
basically when the turbo reaches its desired boost pressure the actator pulls the wastegate arm to open the wastegate (that is basically a hole) to divert the exhaust gases (which is what spins your turbo) out of the wastegate and away from the turbo blades, stopping the boost from rising past the desired amount. if the wastegate hole is too small the gases cant escape away from your turbo quick enough and so boost presure continues to rise. porting the wastegate is making that hole a little bigger to allow more gases to be diverted and so you get more controlled boost. sounds a little complicated but its not really. its the hole on the right mate
well do you have a gauge to see what your actually boosting? if the actuator doesnt help things and its fuel cutting because of creep then porting the wastegate may be a good option.
it may but its not gauranteed. its a good item to have there anyway, as dub has said the stock item can be pretty poor. its piss easy to fit too mate so its worth a go. what boost are you trying to run at the minute?
