Nanglebadger Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 all sounds good buddy, nice and solid figures and nothing suspicious on the graphs. Good amount of power without stressing her too much, especially given she's a daily! Good shout dude. Also, Volks 5/4s are for sexy bastards. I know that u know this. I know that u know that I know this. I know that u know that I know that u know this. But its worth stating periodically nonetheless, as other people need to know what you know that I know that you know. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shame that the wheel refurbers did a cack-handed job when they did them a second time, I think they basically just keyed them and gave the front faces another coat, backs of them is all shit.Not taking anything to Wheel Repair Centre, Bamber Bridge again!Anyway, need to get onto Josh in a few weeks time, see about getting some decals made up for them in black.

Liam_D Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 You know where I am if you need a hand with the turbo buddy! Also who did you buy the Zisco kit off? Wasn't string was it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Nah mate, from a member called Got.boost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Picked up the scoop in my lunch break, looks lovely. Now I just need to buy some Tigerseal (Halfrauds don't seem to stock it), and get it on! Also Yellowstuff pads are fucking horrid. I regret buying them now, seem to be worse than the Hawk pads it had on before. Edited April 2, 2014 by Bluebear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ah no worries then was going to say that my old Zisco kit and turbo went to string and that might be why the turbo made good power ;) but it's not so ignore me!Also I hated my yellow stuffs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) As some of you saw on Facebook, a few days after putting on my 5/4s, I've had to put the Rotards back onto my rear. The culprit? A screw through one of my barely used S.Drives Got it repaired today, and will probably fit them back on Sunday along with the reverse scoop from Starbuck!The one thing I am debating now though.... which way round do I put them on?

Bluebear Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Fitted my reverse scoop on Sunday, bonded it in with some Tigerseal. It's not the best fit in the world (2-3mm gap either side), and the slightly different paint colour sticks out a bit more than I thought it would but I'm not too bothered. There's already a chip on one edge where it fell through my bonnet and landed on my manifold when fitting it And a full shot.Amazing how different it looks. Certainly (to my eyes), it looks a lot more purposeful, from both a side profile and from the drivers seat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 hott. end of. also, you're wheels are the correct way round, according to the oracle of these wheels, Rick @ TC Tuning! ;) also the above picture doesnt count. Its a Honda. Therefore, behave, and leave them alone. Or I shall disown u from the 5/4s club! Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But then why aren't they called 4/5s?!?!?WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER.This is clearly an attempt to sow chaos and implement the beginning of a new world order.THE BLACK HELICOPTERS ARE COMING OH GOD.

Nanglebadger Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 they arent called 4/5s because the Japanese read the other way around?? I DONT KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I want to know!!!! although I think even if they are meant to be the other way around, i would leave mine as is, just to be a prick.

Bluebear Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) After doing a leakdown test on Sunday, I'm happy to say that the engine itself is absolutely fine, so I'm not getting blowby.That, coupled with absolutely no oil leaks, and the smoking on idle when hot, only leads me to believe that the turbo seals are on the way out. I still have my old CT9 in the shed, so I'll probably get that sent off to Liam at some point to make it minty fresh and rotated slightly to suit the zisco kit and my hot pipe, and then swap them round. Other than that, not much else has been happening. I think a RARB may be next on the list, and to start gathering the bushes needed to re-do the front suspension assemblies, make everything nice and tight.

Bluebear Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Finally sorted something that had been doing my absolute nut in for yonks on Sunday. Cluster out, old shitty blue and blown bulbs out, and fresh greeny coloured ones from Toyota in. Looks 10x better now. The speedo cable on the back of the cluster doesn't really secure though; the previous owner hadn't pushed the clip back so it's been bent out of shape and won't 'click' any more. Not too bothered at the moment though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluebear Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 fuck. you. Phil. I'm honestly surprised there wasn't more vitriol in that message. Is this the part where I have to expect a badger poop in a box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 imagine it being said through teeth SO gritted that shards of tooth and shooting out of my mouth, leaving nothing but bleeding gums behind. fuck. you. i'm just going to rub badger poo on your whole house, fuck the box!

Bluebear Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Well, got my spare CT9 sent off to Liam to work his skills on it. Got it back today, so hopefully I can get that fitted before next weekend. I'll be going down to a rolling road meet in Tewkesbury on the 9th, the same place I got my 172bhp result earlier this year. It'll be interesting to see if there's any change! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Cannot thank Liam_D enough. Superb service from him and Midland Turbo, this thing is like new. Hopefully I can get a good chunk of removing the old one and fitting the new one done tonight then finish it off tomorrow evening!
