It Only Started As A Brake Change....

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 ??

Exactly what I've done. Beat me to it Alex.

I've sat in that exige!

[Bryno]

Yep, I used Halfrauds VHT paint on mine as well, works a treat

Haha its changing on a weekly basis at the moment.

 

Tackling those engine mounts inserts this weekend.

[Cbaileyuk]

The mounts is a great mod. Enjoy when done.

[kieranexige]

Cheers I'm hoping so.

 

May give it a run to donnington next weekend then put it away till spring for the recall work and 260 upgrade.

 

How's yours?

[Cbaileyuk]

It's great. They are absolutely fab vehicles. Rattles, bumps, smells, squeaks, looks, everything about them is bob on.

 

I want to do the shock upgrade on it but I'm a cheapskate and I keep looking for a decent set of used nitrons. I don't want to spend 1.5k on new.

 

I'm also tempted by a new wheel for it with a removable boss but not sure if that is really a useful mod. Just pottering really.

 

I did the rad, tow post, all stainless fixings, engine mounts. It's a 240 and is an angry little thing when proded

Yeah i know what you mean. I'm the same but plan on keeping it for a fair few years so trying to to do it all in a month....but it's hard.

 

Nearly bought a set of forged 5 spoke 2 eleven wheels yesterday when I bought a few bits and pieces.

[kieranexige]

Oooo I wonder what that may be....

New rear diffuser?

[kieranexige]

Kind of. Just had my original one blasted and powdercoated.

 

Made the rear look like new

[kieranexige]

Busy day today.

 

Got the engine mount inserts done this morning.

 

It wasn't as bad as I imagined an hour and a half all in.

 

Mounted the diffuser with the new stainless fixings. Looks much better now.

 

Made a little modification to the captive nuts by gluing small rubber washers to them as a little bit of a isolater.

quick release fastenings?

[kieranexige]

quick release fastenings?

Just went with stainless versions of the originals with plastic washers inbetween the stainless washers and the diffuser itself.
