DOLBY's LCR...AKS Tuning Forged 14/07/2013.

[DOLBY]

After looking over my Intercooler and the whole set up I had at the time, it's fair to say the piping structure for the Wellycooler has improved these days. I had so much alloy back then and now I think I prefer to have more silicone.

I'm still all about stealth so it'll be black silicone and hopefully will allow me to have my fogs back in. I don't actually want my original fogs as I like the more modern halo ones. The fact that they don't sit as deep is better too.

So obligatory new wellycooler. (standard pic).

Then standard pic of new fogs.

Whilst the front end is open and bare i will try and attempt something old school with the cold air feed. It's a 3" feed with trumpet end. I already had this before but cos of the piping for my intercooler was in the way I could never mount it.

So cold air feed.

And will attempt something like this. Hopefully.

 

[DOLBY]

So once the Maxton splitter goes on and new FMIC and cold air feed and fogs, the front should nearly be all done.

I then turned my attention to the engine bay. So buying new bolts and washers again is on the cards.

As well as this I will be fitting my new Diffuser fins which I'm super excited about. Always wanted them and I feel the ones I have bought are subtle enough to look factory whilst giving the rear end the look it deserves.

Should look something like this when done.

So also after looking at the engine bay and seeing it all looking tired and awful I bought all new jubilees and vacuum hosing for a bit of a spruce up. 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 8mm.

Then I saw my old 007p recirculating valve looking a bit old and tired. Still works well though...so I bought the newer 008p version with the Forge Inlet Pressure Compensation Valve.

Complete with new boot net and boot tidy.

 

[DOLBY]

So that's it so far for purchases until it's all fitted. I see that photobucket have removed the old links for photos so I thought I would out pics of my car up. They're not new but still a good indication of what was...

Cheer mate.

If you Google 'Pure Custom Designs' on Google or Facebook. Or even Paul Ure, he does them. £55 iirc.
Very reasonable as well.

Yes that's it. Looks like he doesn't have any left atm. If you email them or even Paul Ure and I'm sure he'll make them up for you.

So i received the diffusers. Do you paint them first or fit them like this?

Might try to fit them friday

Hi

I still haven't fitted mine yet but as far as im aware they just get fitted as they are. What do you think of them?

 

[lightup]

Yeah the finish is not that smooth. At first i wanted to smooth them out but i just fitted them. Its allright like this. Need to adjust them a little still

Hi.
So I thought I would revisit this as I haven't been on here for quite sometime.

First things first I got the whole car repainted a couple of weeks ago. It has made me super paranoid all over again of where to park it, or if I park it at my house I'm bound to get someone that's going to ruin it.

Quite pleased with it tbh there's a couple little things and I'm getting a whoosh sound around front dash (I'm imagining something to do with the seal behind the door card?)

I have no pics as I collected it when it was peeing down, but have a rubbish video of it. Was going to wait a few weeks then get it detailed and get some nice pictures.

**Tried to upload video but it's too large**

 

[DOLBY]

Only downside was the pics they sent to me with all white compound all down my dash and seats. They assured me it would come off and to be fair to them they did valet the car before I picked it up but it was still there. Will need a deep deep clean soon.

See pics:

Nice job & lucky you, I’ve been trying to get mine sprayed for over a year but sprayers just want small insurance jobs - quick in & out

So I can't really remember what I posted pic wise and what I have or haven't fitted yet lol.

I'm telling you now I have a whole room filled with stiff that needs fitting to the car.

Recently got a quote from my local place to strengthen gearbox, fit WaveTrac diff and put a decent clutch in. I'm hoping to go big turbo next year, but in the process of literally changing everything like for like (old for new). Want it to look feel and drive like a new car.
