Mashburns Flash Red LCR *Now ready for stage 2!*

[Mashburn]

It has to be Darren. ARB's, catbacks, and Nurburgring trips need the attention of my hard earned £££ now!

J0N's got me looking at the strut top covers now tho!! GRRRR!

Hi Mashburn looks good with yellow hoses!!
Did you go for the Turbo hoses which relocate the dump valve or normal turbo hoses??

Thanks mate.

No, i havent relocated my dump valve, seems a bit unnecessary to me tbh.

Time for a bit of an update.

Got a rear 24mm Whiteline adjustable ARB during the week and fitted it today. Was really easy to fit and took around 45mins, if that.
Not really tested it to the limits yet, but can tell already that it has made a huge difference. Car feels alot more planted and stable when cornering. Should of done this mod a long time ago!

Also gave it a good clean today:

Washed with Fairy Liquid
Clayed
Washed with Dodo Born to be Mild
Polished twice with Auto Glym SRP
Waxed with Dodo Orange Crush

While i was at it i cleaned inside all the doors and boot, hinges, etc. Windows, tyres, trim and of course under the bonnet!

Will prob wash it again tomorrow and add a couple coats of Dodo Red Mist!
Also still need to get the wheels off and clean and seal them.

Pics to follow..............

I think all the pictures could have been better if the sun hadn't gone in as soon as i'd finished cleaning!

Thanks mate.

What you got planned for your first few mods then?
Get yourself a build thread started so we can keep an eye on things!

Slick car there mate. How you getting on with the whiteline rear ARB? Have you changed the front one also or just the rear?

Also if you don't mind me asking where you got your Neuspeed caps from? Cheers!!

 

[Mashburn]

Thanks mate.

The caps were from Awesome GTi.

I'm well impressed with the rear ARB, very effective. The front has been changed for an R32 23" bar. The car feels very stiff and straight through the bends.

Also, just fitted a blueflame cat back this morning!
