what have you done to your car today ?

[LEE69]

easy when you have done one make sure the butyl is warm so it flex's easier

 

[Silverplumb]

What is it you recommend using to reseal them? Was thinking a silicone sealant but that might be messy

 

[LEE69]

Butyl strip silicone will just leak

Gave the new exhaust a good run

Its loud on full throttle but quieter once up to speed.

Just doing an oil change now

Cheers lee, will follow the thread. Had heard this was a common issue

 

[LEE69]

Hell yeah...more common than filling the fooker up, and that's saying something lol

 

[Silverplumb]

Driven like a pensioner it's really good, but if I start having a play it drinks it! Only had the car a month and compared to my old BMW it's great, might only be the 180 but certainly puts a smile on my face

 

[LEE69]

Yeah i put mine back to standard occasionally, then switch the map back on, really makes you

Good engine can be played with

 

[Silverplumb]

Not looking to play with the engine too much, done 125k and my main concern would be the strain a map etc would put on the turbo. I've smoothed n drilled the air box for now until I get a filter n shield, done the n249 bypass. Going to take out the centre silencer and keep standard rear box, had a non resonated system on my a4 1.8t and that droned so much at speed. It's on Eibach sport lines, last car had coilovers and after a 300 mile round trip I thought I was gonna die from the aches! So basically it's subtle mods and gleaming paintwork

 

[LEE69]

125 is just run in good strong engines.Subtle mods..i like it.
Mine was over 100k when i went stage 2

 

[googujube]

Waxoyled the car. Wont be doing that again.

Today I got the windows tinted limo black, steering wheel wrapped in camo, centre console got some better carbon fibre vinyl and headlights got tinted

 

[fatreg]

Fitted the standard induction kit to my 225, so there will be a 57i and pipe on the bay soon

 

[mill5y]

Picked up a toyosports exhaist.. turbo back, 3" downpipe. 2 1/2" system with resonated box. poloshed up nice.

Stripped, cleaned and copper-greased all the brake calipers and sliders and hubs & bled the brakes. Waxoyled various rusty bits of suspension. Messy, messy job made worse by spilling a beer glass full of brake fluid all over the drive which is proving to be a bitch to shift Any suggestions chaps??

Next job is to replace a door locking module, which I'm not looking forward to
