KiNK43 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Couple of nice days spurred me on to get the car out and do a bit again. Few jobs I'd like to tackle this year. Started with fitting mg zs rear ARB. Thanks @dr_broon. Damn it was rusty, so had the full works blasted acid dipped and powder coated. All new links and bushes. Straight away when cornering at speed can feel the improvement. Had a ongoing issue where loose boost control. Which leaves me with only 6.5 psi of boost which is not good when expecting the shabang!!! After consulting with Rich, we concluded that the solenoid is getting cooked as it's fairly close to the manifold which naturally gives off loads of heat. So replaced that and moved under the headlight. See how that goes. Then time for a quick was literally spent a quick hour getting the dust off from storage. Looks a bit better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm glad the bar came up okay... It was Definitely crispy - was probably all that was holding tubs rear end together The solenoid should be getting plenty of fresh air there. She's looking mint s always.

I seem to remember when folk first started fitting them it was a thing because they had a different geometry to the civic one. I need to check mine when I get it back, but can't remember the crack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Didn't put any washers on no. Have skunk2 LCA tho. Which are very thick. I recall it's necessary to use washers on the standard LCA due to the shape of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Cool. I've got the skunk LCAs as well, so that's groovy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Right this is it. Got some optimism now that can go to some shows and do some bits this year. So starting to feel like doing bits on the car, a welcome break from just go work - sit on sofa - go work - sit on sofa over and over. So new oil and filter today. And changed the front brakes. We're looking pretty rough after donnington and upon inspection the discs have cracks all around the bell. Not good. So changed for some pagid discs. Widely regarded as excellent blanks for track etc. All the Clio boys run them. Liking the hel hp600 pads so in they went. Also managed to get some. New arch liners and undertray from a mint low mileage mb3. Which is nice, these little bits excite me for some reason as there often chewed up or damaged as my old ones were both. Just need to tweak the undertray as it's now covering my screamer pipe as didn't have one on before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
