@D13 HPD 95 looks like you added a ST washer fluid cap 😊. Why did you change the engine cover also from the painted one?

An update on what’s going on this next few weeks 

So done a mini service today, new ITG filter head old one was past a wash an re-oil so new head it is

fitted a new pollen filter ( I don’t know how old the last one was but it certainly wasn’t changed in Jan when the last service was carried out 🙄 apparently ) 

so on the above a mate is helping me fit the R sport baffled sump, with sump plug, new filter and obs an oil change 🙂 to some nice Fuchs Titan pro S 5w30 sweet goodness 

new plugs to go in as well 

airtec hotside pipe 

airtec stage 3 cooler ( so I can fit the airtec oil cooler I cannot with the pro cooler currently fitted )

got myself a cheap set of B8 dampers brand new - so going to get new top mounts and bearing front and rear, and new rear upper spring isolators ( currently have powerflex black series on but they make the rear of the car sit 10mm ish higher than it should and Ford re-released some proper rubber ones not foam so they won’t fall apart ) 

new front arb drop links adjustable so I can get the front set up currently again 

If got the cam fuel tappet to change at some point 

transmission oil to replace 

fitted the shifter base bushes today makes the changes a lot more precise - I have the transmission bracket ones to do 

new Cobb rear torque mount with strength plate to install 

also looking to swop my cobra exhaust for a milltek non res race one 

annnnnnd getting some 16inch OZ superturismo alloys with ad08r tyres just need a refurb 

then she’s ready for the oil cooler fitted after next month and the x47r turbo with maxd mapping left to do! 

Plans hey 

also house move will be completed within next 5 weeks woop  

 

happy happy days

@D13 HPD 95 would you say the plate looks great with or without the border? Just in the process of getting a plate so deciding 😅

New Cobb mount fitted along with a retaining brace to help reduce stress across one bolt and split the stress to multiple bolts decreasing chance of snapping the main mount bolt and also allowing the mount to stay straight and not twist

Definitely a stealthy discreet look going on

I'd love to have it exposed myself but does look like a sleeper. 

Can I ask how you've attached your plates to the bumper? Just wondering how I should attach my new plates to my car. I bought a discreet plate holder but just want a clean look.

Cheers it’s a lot less in your face and not noticeable

Double sided 3M tape mate holds it perfectly

Big day today suspension upgrade

new B8 dampers 

new ebiach redline springs

new front top strut mounts and bearings

new adjustable front drop links 

new rear spring isolator pads 

and a summit 4 point lower chassis brace 

also pics of the airtec hotside 

 

car feels like its on rails now, tyres are letting it down round corners so need to figure out if I’m getting new alloys or new tyres 

also the rear needs an arb to keep the back end flat as it shifts round to much

Cheeky buy for myself 🙂 a set of DNA racing light weight front wishbone arms with uniball joints these are meant to last forever these joints due to their unique oil filled joints they don’t rot don’t break and don’t perish over time so hopefully these will outlast the car! Also uniball joints are known for using in racing teams as they give more steering response and feedback than just polybushs also even though polybushs are cheaper and last longer than stock rubber they still diminish and perish over time but are 1/3 of the cost! 

Mill use polybushs in certain areas where I don’t justify uniball joints, like the rear beam connection Bush, I’ll fit polybushs in them as they are £70 instead of £400 for a set of uniballs and tbh I’m not sure how much more the rear the needs controlling stiffening up after a rear roll bar which is next on the list I think!

Perks of working away up north for a week, get to check out the local Facebook market place items for sale and notice a seriously cheap milltek non res race cat back exhaust only an hour from your hotel, well it’s rude not to pick it up ain’t it 

 

and a cheeky celebration pint

Probably won't be much for the hoses since you got the main thing 👍

Big day today 

New gel vent rings from DMB 

new steering wheel riders thicker and nice alcantara top and bottom with blue stitching and a blue ring (not fitted yet)

New ST badges on and removed the Mountune lip finally 

Picked up some Team Dynamics Proc Race 3 17x7 et 35 so will sit slightly more in the arch than the current wheels these are being refurbed in a nice Subaru gold

New PS4 tyres fitted on the front current alloys so matching PS4s on the car now feels lovely and grippy 

picked up a delta spoiler with carbon blade needs painting in blue though 

fitted an R-Sport baffle in the sump with a magnetic sump plug 

here’s the state of the old oil filter which was apparently fitted in January of this year by the state of the oil its been at least 20k miles since it was last changed 

new powerflex engine mount insert fitted on the drivers side still have passenger gearbox side to do 

milltek exhiast fitted 

DNA racing wishbone arms fitted 

old red coolant hoses removed and stock hoses fitted again so no more leaks, with fresh coolant as well 

 

She’s sitting pretty and the drive home was insane! I can not wait to get it aligned correctly as it’s slightly off and get this thing on track now!

I think those wheels will look nice in that gold. Your lucky that the oil filter didn't break open otherwise oil would of leaked out and damaged the engine 😬. Need to get my tracking done before MOT. Dad loosened the front joints so the tracking place try not to charge more by saying they struggled to loosen it. In result however the tracking is more off that the steering wheel is facing 30 degrees left when the wheel is facing forward.
