Been a while since i have updated,
I got my front
lower front brace fitted, camber and tracking done at wallace performance (the car handles so much better now)
The big task that was ahead of us was to fit the new FMIC, thanks to my father for all the work he has put into this car, couldn't have done it without him.
So here is a comparison of the older intercooler alongside the new intercooler
As you can see it’s a tight fit down there and numerous brackets and modifications were made to the front panel to get this to fit. What a nightmare.
The bracket for moving the radiator back
New
lower radiator brackets to hold it in place
I decided that i didn't like the bling look as it was like playing poker but showing your cards so the stealth look was brought into play
With the front panel and everything removed from the front of the car i decided to clean and wax the chassis legs below the lights -
I then decided to bodge a custom jobby on a cold air feed to the filter but still wanting to keep the standard air feed that used to provide the SMIC, which should provide the filter with plenty of air.
The only photo i have of the strutbrace -
Note the pipework does not sit like that on the car now that was before everything was properly fitted.
The usual knocking on mkl3's with the milltek exhaust was starting to annoy me due to the standard mounts being like jelly,
So new ones ordered -
