What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Rich - FR]

A busy couple of days working on mine after a pretty long spell of not being able to work on it. Full service and gearbox oil change using genuine parts.

New rear upper arms, inner spring carrier bushes replaced with Powerflex black edition bushes and new adjuster bolts and washers (3 seized solid) New rear roll bar drop links and full set of Bilstein B4 shocks fitted.

Last was taking it for the four wheel alignment.

Have to say it drives really well, the Eibach and B4 work very well together!

Starting to srtip everything needed off -

Powerflex bushes fitted -

Bilstein B4 and Eibach fitted -

Four wheel alignment -

Replaced the n/s/r door lock module that did not allow the door to be opened from the outside. Got second-hand part (1P0839015) @ £50 from local breakers. Took about 45 minutes in total to fit. Jobs a good 'un

Good stuff Rich, I was thinking of getting some Bilstein's to go with my H&R's.

Had a new tyre fitted on the front due to uneven wear

Finally found a set of LED sidelights that dont throw a bulb error.... without resorting to butchering my wiring with resistors.

Got bored again, wired up some footwell LED's to the interior light... every time the doors open the light turns on and vice versa! looks nice imo.

Took an hour and a bit and ran out of wire to do the drivers side...

Although mine is a pre-fl so i believe less sensitive to bulb errors than later cars.

12" Clarion and a 2 way 1000w Excalibur amp. Really nice sound inside, little bit of rattle from the boot outside!

Just ordered, thanks for the link. I'd rather pay more than the cheap ones on ebay that fail every other week, assuming these don't! lol

Well they've only been in a couple of days, so here's hoping!!

So, I treated the ASBO to a trackday last weekend at my very local track......Blyton Park. The new additions of the TTE420/WMI and supporting mods complimented perfectly by the custom linear track orientated map by R Tech ensured that the power delivery was perfect and predictable all day long.
The new handling mods and extremely aggressive GeoSetup by Alex @ AKS meant that I was pushing even the most track orientated open wheeled cars through the corners! Once out onto the straights the TTE420 could be unleashed and I was blasting past cars that @ 2+ would've been out of my reach!

Toying with the idea of putting it back to standard...
