Timmy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Rich, is your shiny new exhaust a standard replacement with 60mm outlet or something more fruity? I need something similar. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich73 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks. Arch liners may be on the list after sorting the monster truck ride hight. Exhaust is 1 on 1 out 85mm, was £385 including fitting kit which seemed a good deal. Not sure how often the 25% sales are but saving up for the next one.

rich73 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Fancied an easy job this evening. Liked the look of these. http://www.historika.co.uk/porsche-parts/Porsche-911-CLOCK-BLANK/43.htm So found a better value alternative. Fitted an additional oil pressure warning light. Wired in parallel to the existing light. Pushed everything back in. It even lights up! Really pleased with it, only took 30mins should be better off if I sell the clock and the other blanks(had to buy 6). Will list as soon as I get chance.

rich73 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi there, I've now got quite a collect of shiny bits ready for a suspension refurb. Managed to get most of it from design 911before they updated their prices to reflect the weaker pound. Still looking at the new KW dampers but think I'll just stick with new standard and see now I get on. Going to attempt the strut brace first. This side should be fun.

rich73 Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Came off a treat using a multi tool with a scraper blade and then mini da sander. I think the freezing weather helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALEX P Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 What a nice selection of goodies. Looks like you have a nice amount of clutter around the strut top to clear! When you remove the fuseboard etc don't make the same mistake my bodywork guy did!! http://www.impactbumpers.com/forum/index.php?/topic/13338-alexs-36-engine-transplant/?p=339736 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich73 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Thanks Alex, Up and running again, I've just checked, 5mm clearance! Suspension refurb in full swing, now more shiny bits than manky bits. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich73 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Went for Pro 9, engine lid off eBay. Needed I bit of work to fit but can't complain for the price. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich73 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Been a bit distracted by a house renovation over the past couple of years which is now hopefully hearing completion, but found this in the garage a couple of weeks ago. Did a do to list last week and got a couple of jobs our of the way. First was removing the A/C compressor bracket, this had been bugging me for quite some time. Another 1.1 Kg of mass reduction and things looking much better, will be selling the bracket if anyone's interested £30. I've like the looked of the combined jacking points, tow hooks for a while but wasn't convinced the ones I'd seen would fit the 3.2 due to the oil crossover pipe. Bit of hacking and came up with this; and for the front; Suspension is also together now, will try get some images of that later. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anil Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Looks good, but what type of flexi hose are you using between the filler pipe and fuel tank? It almost looks like heater hose. My 3.2 seems to have a thick walled fuel hose fitted as per your earlier pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich73 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hi there, Hadn't noticed it looks the same as the heater hose but I think its this stuff from Demon Tweeks; It is on my list of things to look at though as I don't think its sealing properly, the wire reinforcement stops you getting a proper seal with the jubilee clip.

Rich Yes, hard to get a proper seal with a standard jubilee clip...I have corrugated tubing on my Fish pond pipework and I use these sort of clips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich73 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks Graham, That makes sense, should have realised that's the type of clip to use as when a bought replacement heater ducting it was that type of clip sold with them. Butler Technik were a great supplier for ducting and fittings for the A/C removal/ backdate by the way. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich73 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Bit more progress today. Interior lights were another thing that the roll cage got in the way of, cost of that cage fitting wasn't that great but there loads of little issues like this that I wanted sorting. Bought there boxes from maplin (RIP) to mount them in. Bit of Dremel action action.... Double sided tape to the roof and a bit of wiring. and another job crossed of the list.

rich73 Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Been a while but just got an MOT and given it a polish Started looking at roof racks to carry my bike and found this. This might be the start of a slippery slope as I've started looking at light pods and BF Goodrich All terrain. Oh and I was given tube bender at the tip by an old guy last year.......

Anil Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 How are you finding the Rebel Racing A-arm & Spring Plate bushes? Any downsides to report so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich73 Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hi There, No Downsides so far and fitting was straightforward. I cant really say what the difference is as I did a full suspension refresh and upgrade. Specification is as follows; Tie Rods OEM Turbo Front A arm Bushing Rebel S Racing - (RSR) Front Bushing Set Front Camber Plates Tarrett - Monoball Camber Plates Front ARB Mount Superpro Strut Brace Rennline - RSR Weld in. Front Damper Boge/Sachs -Standard Insert Rear arm bush Rennline - Mono ball Rear Control Arm Bushing Rear Spring Plate bushings Rebel - S Racing (RSR) Rear Bushing Set Rear ARB Mount Superpro Rear drop Links Tarett - adjustable drop links Rear Dampers Boge/Sachs - Standard Insert The car also has a weld in cage and has lost quite a bit of weight which has made a difference. Still need to get the Geo done but really pleased with now it feels. I keep putting this off as ideally like to make a setup to do this myself and be able to play with the settings.
