well its been a while...
Engines being a typical xud plenty of abuse and boost. currently not sure what psi im running etc litterally stock k14 turbo with fuel turned up a tad. its nippy and pulls me up the hills!
Made myself my own upper strut brace with master cylinder stop rippthrough thinks its a master piece.. but with the M/C i can now feel the van breaking well i could after i swopped the calipers over seen as though one side had seized on its slider pins effectively making it useless! only issue is due to making it a tight fit on the intercooler and shagged engine mount the engine taps on it in reverse.
P-bushes both mine have failed. This could be down to many aspects rallying down gravel farm tracks? heavier pay loads? bad fitment angle? odd collision with curbs? or Shit rubber? Il never really know but probably a combination of all of them. either way after talking to Ripp he pointed out that it appears pug have superceded the old design for the new design on service box quick look and low and behold they have £44 later i now have a genuine set of new design bushes. going to get some front bushes two was going to get lemforder but ecp are out of stock.
Gearbox oil. mines pisses it out for fun after changing engine these were the last thing on my mind. must have used around 6l of fluid. first good oil 2nd what ever the f*ck i could find in the work shop most likely tractor gearbox or beam axle fluid 3rd lot Rippthrough special of mix those 2 together haha! any way iv actually order some genuine seals to and putting in some castrol syntrans oil in for good measure!
going to buy a new engine mount push that in and for sake of a fiver do the litlle bush also! learned my lesson from the nice billet ally bush so oem for me just rotate it around.
last but not least recently purchased some cyclones of mr cheese and put brand spanking Rainsport 3's on all four corners. literally do believe this is the first car iv owned with brand spanking new tyres all round! so yeah vans getting some love for once.
