New wheels.

steve11 · Aug 8th, 2007, 08:54 AM

Nice Enkei rims, light i bet.

minigolf · Aug 8th, 2007, 02:06 PM

6.73kg per rim.

Blacky · Aug 9th, 2007, 10:08 AM

Nouce
Are they 7.5" Wide?
They look to fill the guards a little more than other.

minigolf · Aug 11th, 2007, 09:43 AM

No, they're 7", but the tyres are 215/45s, my regular rubber is 205/45. The offset on the genuine fakeys (ET40) actually puts them a further 3mm closer to the outer guards compared to the Enkeis which are ET43.

New autometer BOOST gauge fitted :

Yesterday a mate & i fitted my autometer boost gauge, it looks great.

Only problem with it is that i get a air leaking kinda sound coming from the gauge, its like a whisterling sound, is this usuall for boost gauges to do ?

No, sounds like you've got an air leak

I'd recheck the connectors as air leaking will cause engine management/fuel use issues.

I bet the needle is fluttering too.
You need to fit a restrictor to the vacuum/boost gauge hose.
It's a small threaded piece with a small orifice that you can fit to the T piece.

Babes · Aug 14th, 2007, 09:14 AM

Just fitted

Alta 17% pulley (changed from JCW and 3% crank pulley)
Alta radiator hose kit
Alta 19mm rear sway bar
Alta intake tube seems too big to fit JCW intake (so not fitted - bummer!)

GTT Intercooler
GTT Snoot boots
GTT Oil catch can

Screamin deamon ignition
Nology hotwires

Removed 4500rpm flap at back of JCW intake

Still looking for some decent extractors, trying to deal with JCW dude in the UK is a joke. Milltek dont know how to return calls or emails either it seems.

Steve11 didnt you have a connection with an exhaust shop who made you some?

steve11 · Aug 14th, 2007, 10:42 AM

I bought a set of headers from US & modified them to my liking (OBX i think). Made the exhaust system. By the way i fitted the Alta intake hose to my JCW intake (pic attached), so it should fit ok.

Babes · Aug 14th, 2007, 11:34 AM

hmmm, very strange about the intake, mine had enough gap to slide a finger down where it attaches to the intake when fully tightened. Will try again tomorrow maybe I was doing something wrong but it seemed way too big....

dsakko · Aug 14th, 2007, 10:58 PM

If you're after headers, check out Supersprint. They are proper 4 - 2 - 1 but they are a bit pricy. Noticeable difference above 5,000 rpm.

minigolf · Aug 16th, 2007, 06:29 AM

I got an SOS call from M&K this morning. They got a rather large bolt through one of their tyres.

I loaned them a wheel/tyre to get them on their way. Shame Kyle's flight didn't wait for him. I'll post up a pic of said bolt tonight, there's no missing it.

Who needs MINI assist when you can have minigolf assist?!

Our Knight in Shining Blue

We are indebted to Liam for saving us this morning. Wait until you see the bolt that attached itself to the tyre. We were minutes from the airport at one of the busiest intersections and not happy.

Thank you again Liam

Here' tis!

maryc · Aug 16th, 2007, 11:43 AM

It does not look any better in the dark of night

minigolf · Aug 16th, 2007, 11:46 AM

No.

And you can still clearly see the Ecsta writing on the centre of the tyre as well.

dsakko · Aug 16th, 2007, 01:40 PM

So how did the bolt know it was supposed to insert itself where the little arrow is???

BTW I was going to get a set of these for my Z3 but got talked into the Toyo Teo+. Did you like these before one was "customised" by road debris?
