    Top up oil

    Fuchs titan race 5w30
  2. You'll have an aftermarket kit on already, id get rid of it and buy a standard airbox and use a HKS panel filter Reason for using HKS is its a dry filter so will only need cleaning and not re oiling which could potentially damage the mass air flow sensor.
  3. Im looking forward to how it sounds I must say, you can see the blue from inside the car bit when you look at the them from the front theres no blue as its all covered. They fit really nicely
  4. Thanks dude, has taken alot of effort and time! Let alone monies
  5. Il be keeping my standard one for when I sell the car, I sold my Cobra one a while back and put the standard one back on til the motordyne xyz could be had
  6. Cheers guys, Really looking forward to getting this car finished so it will be like Z v.2 for this years Nurburgring trip Was great last year and this year will be even better GM, Motordyne stuff is real quality gear, i know they are alot more expensive than other brands but tbh i know their products are proven to work and are made to the best standards. Love it Stu, I know it seems a real shame Cant wait to hear and feel the difference though Matt, Its just not in me to cut corners and use cheap stuff that will potentially give grief down the line, initial outlay is more but the product is better and i know il recieve any after support from our traders Always buy the best i can get
  7. Looks like just two screws at the back holding the top cover on
  8. Another update for the books, been busy ordering some more parts for when the rockers are replaced and the oil cooler installed, the weather has been woeful so its been put back til its ok so hopefully the first weekend of february is fine. Whilst completing the stockpile of parts for that some other things have taken my eye Couldnt resist Tarmac's offer for the carbon mirror covers so snapped up a pair of those and fitted them today, look lovely i must say. First quick detailed the mirrors clean then gave them a wipe down with IPA to make sure the surface was properly clean. Think they tie in lovely with the gloss black roof and front bumper bar Decided to order the Z1 Motorsports silicone breather hose kit in blue, as chances are the oem hoses will be all gunky so may aswell while im there Also ordered the Motordyne aramid lower plenum gasket, its meant to reduce the heat transfer between the lower and upper plenums therefore reducing intake temps, again its good practice to replace the gasket while everythings apart wether it actually does what it says its meant to i dont know but given Motordynes reputation and proven products im sure it will, plus being less than half of the cost of a new oem one it makes sense Last up is my final piece of the exhaust system jigsaw, Its the Motordyne XYZ pipe with resonator. I know these are proven to be the best y pipe on the market and i wanted the resonator just to tone things down a bit and add a more tuned note to the exhaust now the manifolds are on. So with the exhaust complete my setup is the following DC Sports ceramic coated equal length manifolds, Motordyne ART decats, Motordyne XYZ with resonator, Cobra resonated mid pipe and back box. Thats all the big stuff done on the car now, just need it mapped again when its all on. Would like to thank Chris at Tarmac for sourcing the carbon mirrors and Motordyne gear, a perfectly smooth transaction thank you dude My birthday present to myself is a complete interior done in carbon by Vlad Will be getting that all fitted next month when its made, cannot wait. Obviously it needs a few other bits to complete the look so ordered an alcantara gear gaiter with orange stitching to match the seats, and il be getting Peter (4RE leather) to cover my doorcard armrests in black leather and orange stitching to finish it off Then its just all the small stuff left to do to make the car complete, Gloss black door handles Finally get the RCA mod and reverse camera fitted If i can find some sensibly priced alcantara il be doing the headlining So thats it for now, thanks for reading will update when the XYZ is fitted and video'd Cheers Arran
  9. Im only taking the blank out so hopefully wont break anything
  10. Thats not to bad then looks like Ashtray out and remove screw Pull gear surround up and remove 2 screws Pull seats forward and remove 2 screws and pull console up Easy
  11. Good good, they are easy cars to take apart especially compared to bmws
  12. Excellent! Ive just read a guide it says, Remove lower trim panel Undo 4 lower column screws Pull cover off Undo the screws that hold the speedo on and pull up the speedo Disconnect cable remove speedo 10 mins apparently
  13. Pretty much speedo out then I believe? Theres a guide online somewhere will have to check it out Cheers lee
  14. Have searched and cant find an answer as to how to remove the top trim off the speedo. Looks like it just clips on but probably isn't that simple Anyone had it off? Cheers
  15. So il need to take the centre console out then, seems easy enough to be fair
  16. Afternoon all I want to take out the blank next to the heated seats as its getting dipped is it a case of prise it out or you have to remove the centre console altogether? Im having the centre compartment lid dipped to and thats only 6 screws Cheers Arran
  17. Id be careful using some of the hosing where proper reinforced hoses are used as standard, need to make sure they are up to the job created by vacuum etc
  18. Saw this parked outside the college last night, not seen it around before Anyone on here?
  19. Catch can, fittings and proper hosing for 20 quid. Where? il have some of that
  20. Looks much better fella, nice to see the new engine in Anyone recommend a garage that will do a proper steam clean without ****ing it up in Surrey?
  21. That's a cheap track day have to get me on some of that after another nurburgring trip in june!
  22. Would like to thank Ewen and the team for sorting the small issue of the courier company damaging the facelift led rear lights I ordered, everything was easy and smooth to deal with and the lights look great! Thanks guys
