let us know what the dogbone feels like once it's on

let us know what the dogbone feels like once it's on

will do will be fitting it tommorrow

dogbones on, its slightly harsh, so i removed it checked the middle bolt, and it was done up a little too tight so redid that and refitted and its nowhere near as bad now, still seems to vide more then my old yellow powerflex ive had on previous cars, but will see how it goes with some miles, i think its the end superpro bush that makes it vibe abit more, might have to modify it with some holes if it doesnt settle. Took abit of autosol to the exhaust as it was minging, came up pretty well, also did a temporary cable tie bodge to get it sitting higher up in the cutout lol, do the job till i get a new mount.

exhaust before

and after fettling, showing my personnal plate too, cant wait to get that damned spoiler off though

Looking really good man, Making me seriously think about playing with my bog standard Octy... the boot lip spoiler is beyond tempting!!!

Keep up the good work Trevor! Cars looking amazing

Looking great mate!! You should change the hybrid bit to green on the badge! it'll match the RS colours

minor update,

Gone a little odd school with the headlights not gonna be to evryones tastes, gone for 3k uprated bulbs that give off a nice chrisp yellow light, a bit different from your normal more whiter/bluer bulbs, i like it for the min, along with yellow led sidelights,

also my non resonated center pipe for my miltek full system i shall be getting/fitting next week arrived

the next update will be fitting the full turbo back miltek and sports cat, and finally getting some bodywork done, rear spoiler removed, holes filled, dent repaired on tailgate, lip spoiler fitted, colour coded front grill, and time dependant, rear bumper sprayed and front bumper repaired, so hopefully will be looking respectable for her outing at combe, oh and also awaiting my stage0.5 remap, to set up the car for the new turbo, but with minimal performance gain for the minute

yep stage 2 hybrid k03s, full k04 internals:) its not that hard to do yourself really, if you have time an patience.

How have i missed your thread? ok, you say time and patience, how much of a hassle is it? i have patience.....

you need some sense of mechanics, or be good with your hands and have a good toolkit, but easy day out day in if you take it very slow, mine only took two days as i had to wait for the turbo, a mechanic thats done it before, should have it out and in in half a day, then its just a case of checking everything

New brakes purchased there 334mm that is all, more on this later

kinda reminds me of driving in France, 20yrs ago

R32 ?

Update time, Miltek fitted turbo back non resonated with 3inch downpipe sports cat, abit tight with the downpipe but no knocks or bangs so far, just need to fine tune the tip in the cutout tommorrow and itll be perfect, picked up my new brakes too 334mm R32 twin pots, gonna be painting them black and hopefully fitting next week, oh and a forge recirc valve,

3inch downpipe v's standard

3inch

I knew it would reduce going through flexy but didnt realise it went that small, i bet that gets bloody hot when your working turbo hard

Bloody Hell that's tiny! Wonder if a 3 inch down pipe would improve a octy on a standard map?

I wasnt in a rush to get a downpipe but looking at that i might do it before track day i have coming up

ive got a milltek reducer here if you ever need it mate, you can fit a sports cat the the standard system then

Them brakes are on my list but I'm unsure if they will fit under spiders with no spacers etc, do you happen to have a spider you could try for me?

dont think they go under spiders tbh, havent got any here either, only got the pro races or a 16inch steel spare

More of an update.

Some better pics of the exhaust

look a million times better i think

going in to the bodyshop next week to have the lip spoiler fitted and bootlid sorted out cant wait, finally starting to look how i want

Glad the exhaust and dumpvalve are good

no worries mate i think it's going to a suck it and see aproach!!

Done the rear brakes black and the fronts are done in matching black too just waiting to be fitted hopefully end of next week, should be very stealth

rears

fronts

fitting the fronts with braided lines and dot5.1 fluid should be more then up to the job then, standard nearly new pads and not too old oem discs too

Cars out the bodyshop, has had front bumper repaired, colour coded grill, rear bumper repaired, and boot lid repaired and lip spoiler fitted:) decent pics next week

Sneak peek at the spoiler
