What did you do to your car today?

[Keadeen]

Nice bit of work there Tom.

Which BC's did you go for (model and spring rate choices)?

 

[Altezza-Dan]

Dropped the car into ciaran for turbo upgrade and few other bits and bobs

 

[Altezza-Dan]

new turbo, new headers and up pipe, DEI turbo blanket, new coolant, new oil and filter, new gaskets all round, and some other jiggery by Ciaran to make it all fit nicely together, he some man for attention to detail and not giving you the car back until he is 100% happy with the work done. A few more things needed to be done before i can get it remapped






Red silicone pipes add 30bhp

You have reinvented the wheel per say.

wouldn't be for me!! don't like white wheels. but fair fucks to ya tom for trying something different in the irish Subaru scene I do like the stanced look actually I love the stanced look but it couldn't do it to mine as I like the ride and handling more than the look ,fair play tom it will get some looks where ever it goes

well after the trackday and doing 153 miles on track and ending the day with battling a 106gti driven by Ciaranrsra ,I killed ny gearbox in the ka so I got it into the workshop this eve and stripped it down in preparation to fit a gearbox from a ford focus 1.6 petrol this will allow me to fit the gearshift and cables from the focus thus making the ka cable shift instead of shaft shift I can then rise the gearshift up off the floor making it easier to select gear while im at it ill make a short shifter

the puma box is the one on the right the focus is on the left its a slightly bigger box and has stronger gears so should help

 

[BazGF8]

Nice wheels Tom looks savage but I doubt you could drive the car as intended on a back road.

Dec , you doing the trackday on the 7th nov?

 

[wagon dec]

Will see how funds are but I'd say so man are you

Sick wheels Tom!
Emotion XD9s?
They must have cost a pretty penny!
What size tires on them and what suspension set up? Arches rolled/pulled much?

Waiting on new intercooler to arrive, and need to get proper injectors and get a better downpipe to cat back section sorted as Ciaran said its a 3" downpipe to a 2.5" lower center cat with no tapering so its a big restriction. Not a big job but need to get the correct layout for best flow

Had her out on the back roads yesterday evening not one rub no bouncing around serious serious suspension bc Coilovers only job
I was waiting 14 weeks for these wheels they have now been discontinued this is the last set to be maid and the only reason I got them was just in the right place at the right time
18 x 10 with a + 18 off set pushing 205/40/18 tyres stretched to there max delighted with her now something different as I don't do plain jane with anything be a boaring boaring world if everyone was to have the same thing have a full air suspension here that I am very temted to put in her at the minuet
