  1. Momentum are gone just so you know. I would keep oem, get new drop in filter and mod the airbox.
  2. sometimes it's no good trying to redo the holes (re-thread). Get a garage that comes recommended I suggest... so you don't sit there with knackered rear brembos! (leaking etc)
  3. Right, so started at 12:00 and finished at 17:30, weather was perfect but that was probably the only thing that was perfect with the day. Noticed when I took my tools and bits out of the storage at there where a lot of water... a lot of stuff wrecked and other needed drying Back garden spread out with plenty of bits and tools that I've gathered over the years. Took me probably best part of 1 hour to clean and throw out bits that couldn't be saved. (HATE WATER) So my coolant hose replacement plan = fail, must have got the wrong ones sent to me, no way they'll fit. My extract broken bolt plan = fail, to tight for drilling My bumper cutting = fail, ran out of time but have a nice idea (will post later about the idea) Investigate pathfinder mod install = success but result is fail Investigate swapping wastegates without taking engine out = success but result is fail Upgrade my haltech = fail, no time Install my I/O Can extender = fail, no time Install Widebands and calibrate = fail, no time Install ARB's = fail, no time Clean throttlebody = success! (very quick really...) Install front panel ducts for rad = fail, no time Install new discs = SUCESS Pics below, old discs don't look the greatest, probably fine for road but think they've done their bit for the track (pretty blue and shiny, glazed) Replace brake fluid, fail, no time Keep the missus happy = epic fail, makes me rethink the time I spend on the car... Pic time! Old disc... looks a bit sad New disc, look fresh and happy With the feel on, looks pretty cool, shame the black will go. Hope they'll last 1 or two trackdays at least. (The discs not the black...)
  4. Not quite.... I cleaned up the Brembo's, come on Keyser put up the photographic evidence! Help a girl out Ye up with the tan photo! Lol How are you fixing the bleeders? Cant drive with it not bled.
  5. Nice one, so you got some sun while the lads worked? Classic
  6. Not a great start to modding Sunday. Little fella got a stomach bug last night so didn't sleep much and only got started at noon. Had to start off with something that doesn't make to much noise so had a look at the bumper modification (think I found a deadly spot to put a trackday air induction scoop at that would be stealth during normal driving). Bad news, drained the coolant looked at the hoses I ordered from an ebay seller, they didn't look like they would fit. Tried fitting and cut them a bit to help fitting, no chance, they're twisted the wrong way round. So that stops that work! I sent a to see if he has any oem ones lying around doing nothing. Having a cuppa now considering my next approach to this mod Sunday. Think get the bumper off and work on that and fit the air fins inside for that rads followed by getting that bolt that broke out (looking forward to that one actually)
  7. snag on the mini-pc ... not powering up... Going to see if it behaves differently with a 12v car battery in the morning. Hope it's not the mini psu that's 'burnt'. Tomorrow will hopefully see a lot of modding going on Have a full day booked in on the drive (looks like I'll not be wet and it'll be 10+!)
  8. welcome along What's the plan with the Z?
  9. Wouldnt care about the comments to much docwra )
  10. On the other hand might not have finished with a clear track....
  11. Need to read that so, hes probably a road racer.
  12. nuts, love it. scary... that's mentally fast with all that other traffic there . Know the track very well, who is it? Only seen two guys drive like that in the past and one is dead... is it mr ghost?
  13. Nice one That can't be a MAF alone doing that ? (or can it?) Is your engine built? (didn't think you had one...) and SC is so progressive (on graphs anyway), bet you cant wait to get some 20 ponies to play with Wasso, get on with it! (talk to Sasha / BoostedP and get a single pot, would love to see someone getting that for the RHD market)
  14. 18" suits the pocket better for replacing the rubbers too
  15. Rota gtr, black.... oh wasnt an option rays then
  16. What causes it to stop sending power went the wheel comes of the ground? I though quaife was mechanical? http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/rearaxle/ra302c.htm And thats a nice explanation. Stating its rubbish is just someone that never driven a car with one fitted i love mine ( until airborne or on ice with one wheel... neither likely to happen..)

  18. Would have thought the vlsd would need some spinning before the oil does its thing... heat probably works against it
  19. quaife works great on track, but stay off the curbs... snow is ok but ice wouldn't.
  20. think it's the plastic yokes that beavis has there... thanks for the pic mate.
