Had a bend kicking about off the Evo,so just got a 45 degree silicone bend,its now 3 inch from filter to TBWink



Good work with this sir. I've been interested in doing this for a while as the standard piece seems very restrictive. Is the bit of pipe aluminium or stainless? If so i will get the local Powerflow to knock me up a bit of there stainless. Has it made a difference at all to throttle response?

I'm guessing it's 3 inch piping from what you've said? And lastly where would i get and icv breather and appropriate hosing from? Many thanks.

Its stainless,just had it lying around,would be easier and cheaper if you are buying it to get a alloy one I would thinkWink

E-Bay I got the silcone hoses from.

Alloy bend:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alloy-Aluminium-Elbow-Bends-Pipe-Hose-Joiner-Connector-Polished-Metal-Silicone-/270865713881?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Hearing_Cooling_Air&var=&hash=item3f10dacad9
Hose:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-SILICONE-ELBOW-45-DEGREE-BEND-HOSE-76mm-/270767941095?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f0b06e5e7

If you buy the above hose you use part of the off-cut as the joiner between TB and alloy bendThumbs up

You can get the breather filter and 18mm ID silicone hose from the above seller too for the ICVSmile

Wouldn't think this pipe would help throttle response,if anything it will help WOT flowYes

£50 for 1 ltr of rust bullet not even 2k paint, wow that is expensive for what it is. i use jotun jotamastic 87 sea boat primer, flexible very adhesive strong 2k primer. It is surface rust tolerant that seals in surface rust for boats where they cant easily get sandblasted but gain surface rust easy after grin brushed surface. It comes in 4.3 litres for 45 quid delivered, lasts longer then ten years even more ive been told. It has winter hardener low temps and standard hardener for summer temps. I roller it on making sure good coverage is acheived.

You did a good job there, quick too.

Not done much reallyRoll eyes not needed too which is really nice to be fair!Cool

Going really well,great carYes

Fitted EBC Redstuff pads when I got it on the road,they have done just over 20k and were starting to make noises on the rears so thought I best check them out.

Inner pads were knackered:


As were the insides of discs:


Outer part of discs you see through the wheel were spot on,hence me leaving it too long to check them TBH:


Outer pads had meat left on them,but the friction material is starting to come away from the metal backing:


So on finding these in this condition I thought best check the fronts,plenty of meat left on the pads but the friction material is starting to come away from the metal backingAngry


Inner faces on front discs were rough too:


Remembered then years ago telling myself never to buy EBC again as this happened on the rear of my Saph Cos,friction material came off totallyAngry

So luckily Andy(jord294)had some OE Pug front discs and pads for sale at a bargain priceSmile


Rears done too:


Picked up some refurbed Clones with Snowtrac2 tyres on for the winter:


Comedy size tyresLOL 195/65'sShock fill the arches nicelyBig grin

Nice comfortable ride with these on though!!!Yes

odd one that on the pads, I guess they just aren't designed for the type of driving you use them for, also the grooves probably wore them down rather quicker than usual, have a word with EBC.

We used them on the back of a Saxo rally car and had to wind the bias forwards! yellows in wilwoods up front.

They had a fair bit of hammer round Donnington at FCS,but should handle that heat ok IMODunno
They never have been nice on the road TBH,lack of bite when cold,good when hot thoughThumbs up
Nice to have plain discs on now,quiet and great bite with the Gen Pug padsCool

Not sure really mate, I know it won't be the same car n/a so probably won't like it, chances are (fingers crosses) it will sell easier without the s/c for a decent amount

I thought about EBC but heard a lot of horror-stories.

Now have new OE discs and pads, with recon OE calipers all round and the brakes feel pretty good to me.

Not done anything exciting to the old heap recentlyDunno

Running like a dream to be fairThumbs up

Done just over 24k miles now since got it on the roadSmile clock is knocking on the door of 100k now,98k miles.

Passed the MOT couple weeks ago with ease,sports CAT worked fine,just took abit longer to get upto temp than a standard oneSmile

Changed one rear caliper that was sticking and ARB droplinks when I did pre-MOT.

Gave it a oil and filter change ready for a rolling road day today,using 5w50 fully synth again,done 8k miles without having to top up once on the last lot of oil which was MillersThumbs up
Trying Comma Motorsport oil in it this time,good price on the bay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140770306937

Changed my exhaust too,currently running a Torque Technique stainless systemWink

Did ok on the rollers,177bhpThumbs up

Pic below with Matt's Gti180 Cool that did a very respectable 181bhpThumbs up
