Just noticed your stereo surround has been cut out, might have a spare one here if you want it that hasn't been butchered. Will check it hasn't been damaged.

Rdlangy1 16-07-2015 08:48 AM

Cheers si - would appreciate that - was hacked by the previous owner :ok:

Agreed I prefer the boxer soundtrack but sometimes you can't beat a good tune either - best of both worlds :ok:

555_Si 16-07-2015 10:28 AM

Cool I'll dig it out, think I saw it in the shed, I mean Jeep, last night.

how do they sound ive been looking at ground zero range

Rdlangy1 18-07-2015 02:49 PM

Yeah impressed with the sound but Impreza doors are very thin metal and get quite bad vibration issues - so although more weight (about 4kgs) I went for full dynamat extreme sound deadening - makes big difference :ok:

Rdlangy1 14-09-2015 09:10 AM

Well I finnnnnnnaaaalllllllllly got my eibach coilovers fitted...

Still required some fettling but they are on :ok:

Car is sitting 35mm lower at back and 30mm lower at front...

Goes in tomorrow for full geometry setup with pro drive settings and then the 18's will go back on...

Also having my new neutral position switch fitted so that might bring my engine back to full performance...

Oh well they were slanty on my phone - but not on PC - so all good :ok:

Rdlangy1 14-09-2015 09:20 AM

Later in the year I will need to have the waxoil done as I have found my first 3 tiny bubbles of rust starting to come through on the offside rear arch - every other arch is fine, but that needs sorting before it gets worse.

Also planned to have turbo and injectors done - but I think I will leave them until after Xmas as monies starting to be saved for Xmas.

Ryan :ok:

Doh, you too. I noticed my first tiny bubbles of rust on one of my arches a few months back. Haven't done anything with it yet though...

Any pics of the whole car as it sits lower now?

Rdlangy1 14-09-2015 10:47 AM

no whole car pics at the moment as it was p*ssing down - but once set up and the 18's back on tomorrow - ill post up some before and after pics :ok:

NL03Scooby 14-09-2015 11:17 AM

Wahey...! Finally the suspension is on. Good stuff, can't wait to see the finished results, hope it feels as good as it should look.

Time to get some negative camber going and utilising all that tyre!

I was thinking of going for that look where my wheels are at 45 degrees to the car and slamming her to the floor, and then having a top speed of about 2mph? what you reckon? pmsl !

Well off to have geo setup this morning and neutral position switch fitted -let's hope it gives me some horses / top end grunt back :ok:

Rdlangy1 15-09-2015 10:08 PM

Well geometry was a bit out - to say the least!!!! (Top before - bottom after!)

http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...psichk2aho.jpg

Wheels back on and car looking a lot lower :ok:

http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...psjguqo8qh.jpg

http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...ps7ts7yxda.jpg

And neutral position switch went in also - wow what a difference! Got my top end power back and car feels amazing :ok:

Rdlangy1 16-09-2015 06:59 AM

Will get some better pics today as was rushing yest :ok:

scooby doo 16-09-2015 09:32 AM

How do you find the coilovers? Not to firm etc??

Rdlangy1 16-09-2015 10:09 AM

Feel good - solid when giving it some but fairly relaxed and like standard when mooching around :ok:

Ginola 16-09-2015 04:20 PM

That looks much better on the Geo, If it was me Id want a little more toe in on the front but I'm really picky! :) the height looks much better too.. I bet she drives different now!

Rdlangy1 16-09-2015 04:49 PM

She feels very tight and secure on the road which is good :ok:

Not picky mate - just you have a lot more ability than me ha ha ha - jules said I could have more toe in, but said it would be more possible to oversteer - and with my limited ability I didn't think that would be a good idea :ok:

(Yes he did chuckle and say - you only drive at 30mph - so what you worried about :ok:)

Rdlangy1 17-09-2015 08:46 AM

Something that maybe the mappers may help with (Scott maybe) - since the new neutral position switch has been fitted - im drinking petrol like its going out of fashion!

Before switch (and I guess having no AVCS (or whatever its called)) I used to get approx. 75miles from 1/4 tank - I had the switch fitted, and gained all my power back e.t.c. and without booting it (seriously I was just driving normally) - I only got 45miles from the 1/4 tank on the way home.

I filled up again and tested again yest driving to work and back etc and same result - 42 miles on 1/4 tank.

Do you think since having the switch now working and the AVCS (or whatever!) working - I may need my map tweaking?

At the time of the map - when Duncan said the switch wasn't working - he said no tweak would be needed - but just very odd how my consumption has nearly doubled..

Ryan :ok:

Think you need to be asking Duncan as your mapper not us 👍

Fair point... :ok:

Rdlangy1 06-11-2015 01:13 PM

update- not the best one though! Took the car out last weekend for the first time in 6wks.

Drove 400mtrs down the road and was sat waiting to give way at parked car - got flashed through and as I started to go, the other car decided it didnt' wanna wait now, and so came through same time !

Evasive swerve = two ripped to shreds tyres (only done 200miles) + 1 totally fecked alloy (ripped the rim off all the way round).

Got two new tyres (£230 including new tracking set up) but need to get wheel sorted as its shocking... Looks really bad...

Lepsons want £105 to refurb the one rim...

joy of joys...

Rdlangy1 06-11-2015 01:27 PM

Oh and needless to say it went back in the garage (after a wipe down) and is feeling very sorry for itself ! ha ha ha

NL03Scooby 06-11-2015 06:25 PM

Such a dingleberry! I am sure you will get the wheel sorted soon, just how bad is it?

Rdlangy1 06-11-2015 06:40 PM

Pmsl - dingleberry! That a hayleigh phrase? :ok:

http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...psmud8xdz9.jpg

Looks better as new tyre covers the worst of it...

http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...psmohfpxgw.jpg

Doh :-(

Rdlangy1 06-11-2015 06:41 PM

It actually shredded the whole length of tyre protector off the tyres like spaghetti and they had trouble sealing the tyre coz the rim has lost its lip :-(

NL03Scooby 06-11-2015 07:18 PM

That was my phrase, it's polite and forum friendly in a light hearted manner but the picture show its a tidy job you did there! They look like my wheels now!
