SiCaln Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 yea progress is afoot, mani looks good, just waiting on the gaskets then it'll be back on got the second bush in nicely feels a lot better now, still got shaking under braking tho think its the bushes that connect the lower arms to the wheels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Finally got my Rays TE-37 repaired by Ollie on here, very impressed with his work, gotta give it 3 days to harden before polishing and waxing but very impressed thank youstill trying to find the correct gasket for the exhaust housing of this bloody turbo though, not happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 haha the wheels are on now, but snapped a rear spacer bolt so had to order new set of those sadly - used 2 coats of the below high temp wax for protection from brake dust, then a further one with Meguiars for shineGot some gasket material, just need to get it cut to the size of the wastegate inlet and the turbo hot-side outlet then ill be whacking the SARD K24 on, been long enough coming. Also got to get the original front arb back on and poly bushes for that, not keen on the lighter weight one i have now. Dunno if it will be mapped before JAE though, as the weekend after the mrs and I are jetting off to Thailand for a fortnight, so need mucho denaro for diving and sight-seeing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 well few things have changed, got the new rear 15mm spacers on and can highly recommend them in their awesomeness, nice stance and very solidsecondly the old front anti-roll bar is back on with the polyflex bushes in place too a definite improvement I would sayoh and the little matter of the newly installed SARD K24-2460g that resides nicely in my engine bay!Beautiful turbo kit very fast pick up and great spool, loving it have to get to the welder for some extra bracing for the downpipe and the wastegate pipe too but other than that very pleased and ready for JAE woo...sadly no mapping this side of JAE though as I will be going to Thailand the weekend after and I need the cash for thatpics to follow shortly, all thats left now though to make my ultimate V is a respray, clean up of some of the bodywork and the Cruise Power 256° camshafts, if anyone finds any let me know immediately!!!

I have 15mm at back, 25mm at front Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Yeah 15mm all round, bugger. Think I need to go wider at the front? Bearing in mind I do want to lower the car quite a lot (as always)! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
