I noticed when I changed the shock absorbers that one of the front brake hoses was split

 

I bought a set of braided hoses to replace them all, I've only changed the fronts so far because they are a pain to take apart with damaging the hard lines. I broke the passenger side one and had to make a new pipe, I'm glad it wasn't the drivers side because it would be a nightmare to replace

 

I've also got a second hand full Mitlek system 3" sports cat 2.5" resonated cat back

 

after a bit of cleaning and welding it was ready to fit. As you can see the downpipe is a lot bigger than the standard one

 

Ive done a data log and I estimate 20+ftlb of torque and 10+hp, it certainly made boost for longer and the graphs make it look like 30ftlb and 30hp but I can't see it being that much and I'd prefer to be realistic about it, only a dyno could really say

 

I wonder what difference an oversized turbo intake pipe, 80mm maf and big cone filter would make?   I also poly bushed the front control arms but forgot to take any pictures, just had a pair of new eagle f1s on the front and the tracking done too

 

If anyone has any intake parts they want to sell let me know

i missed this as i have an sfs oversized tip for ko3s and a neuspeed k03s induction kit as well as bam injectors and rail

 

 

 

 

Never mind, I've actually bought an over sized tip and induction kit. I might get round to posting about it over the weekend 👍

sorry i commented on the post but didn't appear 😞 i have a few bits to upgrade if you need anything

Bit of a sad update, I'm looking to sell the car, a diff rivet broke off and destroyed the gearbox and it's been off the road since the last week of August.

 

I'm hoping to have the replacement gearbox fitted this weekend and then I'm going to move it on.

 

I planned on keeping the car and doing more work to it but things have changed and I have other priorities.

 

I would like someone on briskoda to buy it and I hopefully someone like me can enjoy it.

 

It's going to need some cleaning up and bits and pieces doing to it and I'll need to get a fresh MOT as it ran out last week I think

 

I'm asking for £2000

Aw f**k man, that's such a shame. Considering the work you've done on it... ...I'd buy it myself but I'm not having a yellow car! All the new **** you've put into it... i'm gonna cry

bad times  😞

pm me details and more pics i may know a man

Give me a week or so to get the car put back together and get a fresh MOT then I'll be in a better position to sell. I got the clutch and gearbox on yesterday but I've got everything else still to fit and my youngest started to come out with chicken pox yesterday so that'll be a fun week 😔

 

Anyway I need a bit of time or else I'm going to get stressed out
