Instead of using the washers as a spacer try using some thick walled rubber pipe, cut to length, you'll find that'll put enough springy upward pressure on the catch as well to stop it rattling

Yeah they came with rubber sleevs, but i was just happy to get it on yesterday. I'll have a proper look into it once everything else is done as i need it back road worthy by tuesday.

New brake discs and pads arrived today. Brembo discs which are apparently ceramic coated? Sounded good so went with them.

Ferodo 2500 pads, bit i'm not 100% convinced they will fit. They look different shpe to whats in at the min. [emoji16]

Well today was very frustrating..

Brake pedal sunk to the floor, pumping it got the feel back but would atraight away sink - air in there somewhere.

Bled the system using the ezebleed thing, nothing.

The new rear calipers had an air pocket in them, had to turn them upside down and manually pump the pedal. All sorted now.

Went to fit new pads - wrong one. Theyve sent the BoxterS ones not normal Boxter pads. So need to send them back for a refund as they dont sell the correct ones.

I have a leak in the coolant system somwhere, suspect passenger side near radiator. Its not dripping but when up to temp steam comes out. Possibly a seal thats gone, cant identify where its coming from though.

Some pics anyway..

All ready for trip to get my exhaust done tomorrow.

Not many pics as didnt want to get in their way.

Managed 29mpg on a 70 mile round trip [emoji23]

Few pics of rear with exhaust.

I didnt want twin tips as i had them on my Fabia vrs and currently have them on my Octy. All other ovals or round looked too big or odd. Quite like this one..

And i ordered another reducer for ar filter as the one i ordered was from china apparently and incouldnt be arsed waiting for it

Nice tailpipe that mate, also looks like the most accurately positioned oval tail pipe I've ever seen on a fabia! Lol looks perfectly lined up with the bumper cutout.

Big update today.

Had the mapping sorted out, each full WOT run had 7 surges.

We checked every sensor by testing and seapping with known working. Did a smoke test to see if there were any boost leaks.

Only issue found was a very slight leak from the hockey puck on the inlet and my Forge 007 DV wasnt holding pressure. Stripped it down, stretched the spring and it was then fine to 27psi.

All the surging was just poor mapping.

Sorted out and now the car is unbelievable to drive. Pulls so well.

This is both old and new map. Not hard to tell which is which.

Few random pics and vids..

excellent I have that clutch and flywheel in the octy, feels very good. I also have 2 RSR's on the back, and I'm picking up two more at castle coomb (for the front!)  awesome tyres!

I was impressed with yours at the 'ring so i tried them. Gone through a set. Was between the RSR and Ns-2R but went with what i know.

As for the clutch/flywheels etc.. I don't actually need it, bit it was £100 delivered brand new with all new bolts etc. So saving £180?? So was a no brainer as i will need it soon.

Bargain [emoji38]

I have thought about the nankangs. but they are still more expensive (in 225/45/17 flavour) than the RSR's, and because I know the RSR's work in the rain, i have stuck with them, and picked up 4 from pete's old car for cheap money

 

and yeah the clutch is good for 300lbs/ft I believe! can't go wrong at that price either!

you bringing this to the the ring Phillip?!

you bringing this to the the ring Phillip?!

Yeah!! Unless its wrapped round the first corner at Bedford [emoji85]

It's just something to keep me out of trouble, which was cheap to build. Its costing me a fortune now i've decided to take it that step further [emoji23]
