Next week is frontmount intercooler and a remap at shark Might even change turbo now that I have the bug.......

Am going to do my rear axle bushs cos my car is still wondering on motorway and its only thing Ive not changed,

Think it might be an idea to start pricing front discs and pads up aswell as they've about had it

How easy was it to clean the IC?

How easy was it to clean the IC?

really easy took 10 min to get bumper off and headlight then about 15 to get IC out well worth doing

What did you clean the IC out with?

What did you clean the IC out with?

Use a full tin of carb cleaner then washed it out with water (hose) then shake the hell out of it or use a blower on air compressor....When you put it all back togather let car run for 15 min without revving it up that will evaporate the left over water..

I didn't find the rear bushes that hard to do - did you have problems getting them out?

I did have to saw off one of the bolts as there was no way it was coming out the way it went in! It hit the petrol tank.

We dropped axle down it was just getting them out but I will say it was well worth doing the whole car is done now just engine mounts 2 of them to do but may not as the vibration is bad.....now and I only have dog bone and gearbox mount done...

Thanks for the reply, could you get at it via the wheel arch lining? If so I'll do that this weekend cheers
