Hi all little up date
Fitted my new arc airbox with new filters from pipercross I was concerned about how close the bottom air filter was to the alloy radiator. so I made a ram air duct from glassfibre and plumbed it in the front bumper :) Now I have an air tight seal around the bottom filter :) http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...t/4970b8b5.jpg |

Well my big brakes came this week and it's about time I rocked a set on the FD, as we have been dealers for K-Sport and BC coilovers for over 4 years.
I had already removed the ABS and ran my lines inside the cabin for the brake bias valve and line lock. Anyway here's the pics ppl oh and also Im coming to rotorstock this year :) http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...d/682d0fc2.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...d/31090ec5.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...d/079f9fd7.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...d/7297e151.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...d/6d079bb3.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...d/5c7d8e22.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...d/ad9125f9.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...d/09e72270.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...d/20cf3a9d.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...d/1336837b.jpg I've not sized it up yet but has anyone ever ran the STD 4 pots at the rear? |
When we was bleeding the brakes we found that the master cylinder had a fair amount of movement so I start making up a brace
