kieranexige Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 So I bought all new brakes for the exige from Dave at seriously a few months ago to do a simple brake swap over the winter. Now I've got the car up in the air with the wheels off the old " whilst I'm here " comment keeps cropping up. So far .... The diffusers off at the power coaters for a freshen up, new stainless fixings ordered, new diffuser trim, wishbones and hubs stripped and painted, callipers stripped and painted, new brake lines, heat shields cleaned and treated, new engine mount inserts, pro alloy intercooler ducts fitted and trd airbox install.... good job the wife keeps me fed and watered.

Martin R Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Its called project creep and it gets expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryno Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It's a slippery slope! What did you do with the wishbones, paint or powdercoat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranexige Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 I know. It's getting bad. New rad fans and 260 after christmas. I've got new droplinks on order tonight as ones a little worse for wear. I painted the wishbones. I was going to powder coat them but I read allot of good reviews on epoxy mastic 121 and its made a really nice job im impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kieranexige Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Just spent the evening fighting with this trd airbox and my proalloy boost tubes. Dam tight fit on the boost pipes I'm sure it's touching the airbox now with the extra depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richbk Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 looking good. my floating bells looked lovely when fitted, any suggestions on how to keep the centres where the wheels attach from corroding / rusting on the surface, they look pants, and i don't have time to keep removing the wheels to clean them off. wondered if they could be sealed / painted, but figure the temps would cause problems ?? richbk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
