What did you and your MK2 do today?

[mike0105]

No idea on numbers at the moment, not turned the wick up on the Revo yet as I'm fitting WMI tomorrow. Car made 270hp & 300lbft on a not so generous dyno at stage 2 before FMIC back in the summer.

Will be going back on the dyno once its all set up and I'm happy, not sure how long the clutch will last though

Yeah, I can see potential clutch issues arising soon mate... fingers crossed for you!

 

[Dan FR]

Well it's a new standard clutch, fitted a few months ago so we'll see how long it lasts

Carpartsforless using discount code Saveme75... Mine was sub £200 for an LUK DMF, whole clutch kit was only a smidge over £300

Awesome, I assume you need to buy 6 new bolts too?

Id have said so, it's not worth not doing it for the sake of £12 from Sere.

 

[fezza]

Yeah and the lighting and 'set' and everything else is perfect.
Much post process?

nothing much other than contrast and clarity heres another 2 from today

Fixed the flapping undertray, one of the side ones had 2 screws undone. Also replaced a missing screw in the boot. Hopefully solved a few rattles...

Fitted my steering wheel insert but not happy with my touch up around the FR badge but from a distance it looks good.

Buy the flywheel bolts from Carpartsforless (only buy 1 - they come as a set)

On a side note i fitted my Runner Flap Delete today, bad news is the WMI install didn't go ahead, although the wiring and plumbing side is done.... the Creations Motorsport Throttle Body spacer i bought came with useless bolts meaning i had no way of attaching the throttle body back to the manifold. Just sent them a message making my frustrations pretty clear

Do not get me started on Creations Motorsport parts that don't fit

Well i've had a 50/50 day, the RFD fitted perfectly, and i think the spacer might just about be ok, but the bolts were useless and no good for screwing in to a plastic manifold
Think this pic shows the difference pretty well. A nice course thread suitable for gripping plastic on the original:

Not sure now whether to wait for a reply, source my own suitable bolts, send it back for a refund and then either get a properly designed one from AKS for double the price, or tap in to the silicone post intercooler pipe with one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DEVILSOWN...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20f2a45d48

No problem, although be warned, removing the manifold is a total ballache, not something i ever want to do again... ever

 

[toosmiles]

haha i know,Alex will be fitting mine once he has a Revo code for the cold start issues

 

[Dan FR]

I unplugged the motor on mine to try out the cold start issues.... virtually non-existent and nowhere near as bad as people make out

Will probably go with the spacer from Alex once i get my money back through eBay, more than double the cost of the CM one though

[toosmiles]

Yeah, seems the general consensus is get one from Alex so that's what i'll do
