what have you done to your car today ?

[FrixosLeon]

Not quite sure how you came to that, true track cars will be mostly rose jointed and spherical bearings with few bushes
Also powerflex do varying types for different setup

Ronin225, what's your opinion/input regarding bushings? There so many options out there and I am really buffled as to what's the best way to go! Basically the car is a ~300bhp street car (everyday usage) with potential for track days!
Anyone else has any inputs/thoughts? Any comments are more than welcomed!

 

[Sean886]

I knew that powerflex had different variations of rubber compound for their bushes, depending on intended usage.

Sorry for any confusion caused!

Thats an interesting way of routing the pipework, I'm guessing when your done you will have no trouble getting the fog lights back in aswell??

yeah still needs a small amount of cutting to sit the bumper right but nowhere near what people have to do to fit them crap ebay ones with the pipes sticking out the foglight sorrounds

this is what it looks like all done

my only gripe is the turbo outlet is the original 51mm charge pipe as i need to make a new one with dv take offs etc, ill be doing a full guide with a shopping list and location to cut/mount/hit with hammer soon, comes to about 250 all in with the forge map pipe

Interested to see what you had to cut in the bumper to get the FMIC and piping in mate! I've got the same bumpers and am considering an FMIC soon

basically the jack pint covers, where it mounts to the body there is what ive cut off, not much and the bumper is still super sturdy

Allo mate what sort of gains you expect from that lot??

 

[FrixosLeon]

Along with APR Stage 2+, Front Mount Intercooler, and APR Carbonio air filter, (soon to be ordered) hopefully close to 320BHP!

 

[joshy514]

Frixos what's your whole list of mods to achieve 320bhp stage2?

Frixos what's your whole list of mods to achieve 320bhp stage2?

The car is not ready yet (work in progress) and thus the numbers are still a rough guess. Basically we started off with a BAM (225bhp) engine with a K04 turbo as base.
APR remap, APR Carbonio Air Filter, Front Mount Intercooler, APR High pressure Fuel Pump, Oil catch can kit from Integrated Engineering, Fuel Rail and Variable Fuel Pressure Regulator from Integrated Engineering, R8 coils and Spark plugs, 3" downpipe and exhaust system with a racing cat, superpro bushings all around, ebc brake disks and pads with original brembo 4-piston calipers, eibach sportline suspension coils, B8 bilstein shock absorbers and 8mm rear spacers! A-N fittings to improve visuals even more!

I think that is all, hope I am not forgetting anything! But as I said its still work in progress and the numbers are an estimate (305-320bhp)
