[jake]

About 4 weeks but I ordered a week before Christmas

True the white one has gone for as low as possible, i'd be after the rim edge just clearing the rear arches or looking like the arch lip is just sitting on the alloy lip edge....

Cheers for the info on the splitter my i believe it will be my brithday treat to myself...

had a change of heart with the controller, main reason being the wire has to go through the door but the leon uses the full lock block, no where for the wire to go

it would mean taking the door off, drilling a hole for the cable etc so i decided on a new location

its the cup holder section under the mdf2

so i made a bracket, primed and painted

this is the bracket in situe, i used foam tape under the bracket then bolted down, this wat we get no vibration. the steel is about 5mm thick lol

Looks good, must be easier to use as well.

well propper pissed off right now,

today is the first chance i have been able to test the front struts after fitting the rebuild kit....guess what one leaks real bad, sold by an ed38 member whos also in the trade to me as working, it needs a new bag which is over £100

cant trust nobody!!!!!!

 

[jake]

If it wasn't for this I'd be really annoyed.

well due to the spiraling cost of the air build,

sticky valves that needed replacing ( they were foc - so cant complain)
blown bag, which i didnt know

i needed a valve setup, so went accuair, at the moment i just can afford £450 so went for the cheaper vu2 manifold, it means for the time being im setting up 2 way, but i can add another once i have the funds to go 4 way, im still running four lines to the bags....

heres how im at right now

pressure switch is fitted and tested working,


IMAG1130 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

the controller wiring ecu, all kept nice and neat. wires kept so when i sell or upgrade theres no problems


IMAG1136 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

and the top, showing the manifold, and just two pressure senders along with a gauge to show tank pressure

im about to buy the bag and water trap, then its a case of getting some time to build it all up,

What did the guy say about the burst bag??? That's bang out of order selling faulty goods.

 

[jake]

He said that he thought it would be sorted with the rebuild kit. Which means he knew.

The rebuild kit is just the top mount bearing, it has nothing to do with sealing the bag....

I gave him my PayPal address and said if he'd I would contribute it would be helpful.

The thing that annoys me is he obviously knew but sold them as working. Just needing a rebuild kit.

superb motor!

 

[jake]

new bag is well over a week, so delayed again !!

 

[gunnergibson]

I'd be ordering a body bag for the unscrupulous seller.

All good projects are delayed. Will be a quality product when complete.

Forgot to say I took the Decat Down pipe off, as the car wasn't mapped for it I lost a chunk of low down torque which I wanted back.

With the stock downpipe back on the torque is back.

Really happy I also spent £400 on winter tyres after the warnings of the worst winter for years,!!! Cheers met office

 

[big eck]

Out him lol

 

[jake]

He's not been online since my last message.

So will see what he says
