While I had the paint out I decided to do the k&n heat shield as it was starting to look a bit worse for wear :)

Early bird ... Installs the heat shield ;)

Do you have seals around the edge to seal it against the bonnet?

  • Author

No it sits flush to the stuff that's on the underside of the bonnet.

Hydro's in but feels carp no instant bite so hopefully re bleeding a few more times will sort that.

Lock spacers are on, but finding someone to track/align it is a mission on its own. Because its so low no ones equipment will fit between tyre & arch :(

Ran out of time to do the camber arms so I'll try and get them done asap :)

Needs more green under the bonnet, methinks!

How do they work then?

  • Author

Just extend the rods to push the lock out I assume :)

Looking for spacers to go on the front now 20-25mm, have a bit of inner arch scrubbage when on full lock :)

Plenty more in the bay could be green! Just spray it all!

Had some **** with this today!

Fitted the hydro yesterday and its being a swine to bleed. (Eazi bleed ordered)

Fitted lock spacers which caused mega retarded toe and cause I run camber anyway its chewed my front tyres to bits (20 miles) couldnt find anywhere open that has the old style tracking/alignment kit. Because its so low the new stuff won't fit between tyre and arch. (2 tyres required)

Also ordered some 20mm front spacers for the front to compliment the lock spacers once its all set up.

Booked in for Norfolk arena drift day on the 24th nov so it best be ready :)

  • Author

Got a mate picking it up from work tomorrow to see if his mate can track/align it :)

Fingers crossed it'll be nicer to drive when I get back Friday!

Also ordered a new rubber prop donut coupling joint as mines started to eat itself.

I looked at your hydro arrangement - rather difficult to bleed :(

Why don't you plumb in a bleed nipple in each line on top of the bends, inside the cabin of course?

This is where your air is sitting...

  • Author

Gonna eazi bleed it at the weekend and see if that works. Force the fluid round :)

Only thing that's gone right tonight is the tow strap!
