what have you done to your car today ?

[iammooks]

Sounds good. I’ll help. At least that way we will know what the **** to do with yours.....

To be fair, the actual changing of the clutch doesn't bother me too much - it's working out how I'm going to support the engine and lower the gearbox without spending a fortune on an engine support or a transmission jack. That and bleeding the clutch properly afterwards

If you’ve got a mate (me) to sit in the car and pump the pedal you’re all good

Bleeding the clutch is actually very simple...unlike the ******* brake system after a full tear down

Just won a used forge 007 diverter valve on ebay.
I got a refurb kit and new yellow spring for mine a little while ago and noticed pitting at the bottom where the piston seals.
Just need it for the lower body section really. So fingers crossed this one is ok.

Weirdly enough, my brakes have felt more firm since I replaced the ball joints. I tightened up the retaining screw on the nearside disc as well, but I can't see that would have made much difference.

One more bleed and I'm sure it'll all be fine... Then another, and another...

well on my non-cast arms its given me a comfy -2 deg camber

Handling feels nice, obviously better with the camber

Steering feels smooth. no resistance

Installation is really simple....once you figure out WTF to do as there's no instructions anywhere to be found.

Ride is a tiny bit harsher than powerflex top mounts, not much in it.

They have been a little rumbly with soft clonks but im not sure its the top mounts as ive had this clonk over small bumps for a while. other people report similar

tiny increase in road noise over the Pflex ones, so if you have those already and have no complaints about harshness, get the Silver project ones

Changed my thermo switch on the rad after draining and new coolant, the fans come back to life. not a job i want to go near again

Nice one currently running the Cupra R top mounts but they are little worn so was going to replace like for like, now thinking these may be way to go (I'm assuming they replace the rubbery bits, apologies for my lack of knowledge)

 

[MoToJoJo]

Guess I better get on and fit this little pile of stuff

Yes mate they actually replace everything except the OEM bearing, it goes right on top of the spring cap then the rest follows.

No worries i had no clue until i got them in hand haha

Removed my strut brace so I could finally trim down enough to get the bonnet strut to fit back on

Cleaned and painted the area

Had to replace one of the rivnuts as it came loose and pulled out when I removed brace but new on installed and all back together

Spent about an hour under the bonnet

Is it a quick shift kit?
If so, is it quick left and right aswell as up n down?
Hiw does it feel to drive now?

I have one of these and it reduces the back and forth throw.
I have mine set at around 30% less, at its full reduction its far too short and clunky imo.

Yeh, ive got the large cast piece that you use to adjust the throw but seem to remember being advised against getting the one that reduces left to right movement.
Just wondered if the kit in the pic had side throw adjustment.
I see the mount is bushless. Didn't know how much different that makes.

 

[Thai-wronghorse]

Yeah side to side reduction isn't really needed on these, even refreshing the mounts and bushes throughout will make a nice difference.
The main thing is to reset the shift cables though, this makes a huge difference and my shifter is super slick now.

Ill leave my mount bushes for now, they look ok. If it aint broke.....

May have another go at resetting my linkage though.
Reset it a few months back but not happy with it so will try again at some point.

Good Friday means a day off work (still up friggin early!) which in turn equated to a lot car related YouTube videos watched...mostly 02M gearbox strip downs and LSD stuff.
