Been Infected By The Mod Bug!

[James-Hilton]

So I've been in contact with David from K-Tec over the last week. Just waiting on a date for all the work to be done but it's going to take 3-4 days to get it all done and make sure it's all running smoothly.

- Brembo Max Grooved Brake Discs with EBC Greenstuff front brake pads and KTR braided brake lines
- Cams
- KTR uprated engine & gearbox mounts
- KTR Suspension Top Mounts front
- KTR 19mm Spacers front and rear
- BMC CDA Enclosed Induction Kit (Always wanted one since hearing Neil's one ages ago)
- OMP Rear Upper Strut Brace
- Possibly KTR Evo Corse 15's with Yokohama Neova AD08 all round

Currently the car already has:

- K-TEC's Engine Back Exhaust System
- Remap
- Weitec Coilovers
- KTR panel filter

Currently running at 144 BHP.

Hopefully should be a pretty sweet ride afterwards!

Eh your paying them todo it ?? How hae you caught the modding bug the best bit is doing as much work as pos yourself lol

 

[mazmaz]

the best is to have lot of money lol

 

[James-Hilton]

I don't trust myself to do the work. Plus I don't have a garage where I stay so doing it myself wouldn't be very convenient. I've been saving for about a year to get it all done and been doing ridiculous hours at both my old job and my new job.

That sounds epic! Hope it all goes well for u!!!

 

[LCplParks]

That's awesome dedication! It'll be a Beast when it's done!!

A couple of points.

Why spacers if your thinking of wheels :? as they would probably be surplus to requirements if you went for the new alloys which have more poke than the cup 17's. I see KTR list the Evo Corse with ET38 which, unless you do some bashing may well cause some rubbing as your lowered a bit. Theres ET43 listed on the Evo Corse website, so maybe they could order them instead

EBC greens

... Just personal choice DS2500 or standard

I had green stuff on my GT, never again!

The sound like a pig and they are rubbish if you had to do an emergency stop IMO.

Other than that everything else sounds good

I've just read a few reviews online about the Green Stuff brake pads. They don't appear to have very good write ups. I'll do some research and just opt for a different brand. Thanks Neil. I've had a look on the Evo Corse website and I could only find ones with either ET28 or ET38. What's the difference if I stick on alloys with a smaller ET? :?

 

[maggi200]

ET28 will be lucky to be in the arches still I would think. I would personally go with the ET38 if you're on coilovers, and even then you would need to bash the rear arch tabs a bit to avoid rubbing

 

[singlespeed]

These are ET43 (the same as my speedline 2118)>>>

Higher ET, like original ET55 will be inset.... Less ET, like ET35 will stick out more which will cause rubbing on the rear arches and front arch liners

 

[James-Hilton]

Apple have those genius bars right? I think Neil should set up his own one for the forum! :lol: Thanks Neil!

 

[maggi200]

I believe they use genius in its loosest meaning. Certainly not the one from any dictionary I've used
