Whenever I closed the doors while windows were down there was a nasty rattle. Turned out the plastic sliders were worn out and loose. Replaced those and greased the guides and its all good and silent. Did you have any problems after fitting? I've fit some to my drivers window today and now it no longer goes up.

Mr.Badbrains Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Took the transmission out. Seems like some of the previous owners had done the clutch already as I think oem one would be LUK. Epytec lightweight flywheel going in and new clutch parts just for the sake for it.  Need to weight the oem flywheel for comparison.  I think I will give the transmission a good clean with pressure washer and maybe some paint as it looks filthy now.

Mr.Badbrains Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 And when undoing the exhaust I found this: Didn't even know there was a cat there but this one wasn't breathing too well I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I wonder what that is? Something that can take 800c red hot, and not get destroyed. Bit of exhaust gasket perhaps. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Badbrains Posted April 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Treatment for the collapsed cat came from Kam Racing. Catless headers followed by 2,5¨ Bastuck catback.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Badbrains Posted April 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Also new bushes for control arms and Powerflex bush for the dogbone mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Badbrains Posted April 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Decades worth of grease and dirt washed off the transmission. Going to try if Hammerite sticks on the surface and paint it just for cleaner looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Badbrains Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Gearbox turned out fine. Not perfect but no one will ever see it so... And Lupo is running again. Flywheel feels great and exhaust sounds nice. Too bad I'm getting some random codes from both 02 sensors. I don't believe the manifold is leaking as I've checked it many times but somehow sensor 1 is seeing too much oxygen now. Might need a remap. I did put a spacer on the second sensor trying to trick the ecu but seems like thats not working either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has the KAM manifold and system, fast road cams + dbilas inlet manifold and it was mapped, it was throwing code for too much oxygen, new sensors and a 20 mm spacer on the first lambda seemed to sort the oxygen code, but unsure if that had messed up fueling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Badbrains Posted June 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 So only code remaining is: 17526 - oxygen (lambda) sensor heating b1 s2 open circuit Could this be due decat? I think the sensor might have been damaged as I had to hammer it out. Wiring seems to be fine. Another thing Im wondering is what are the oem fuel pump and injectors capable of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Lambda's can be broken by dropping them. 160 brake off standard injectors is common - according to Clayton's tuner they are good for well over 200. whether the pump is up to that is another matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Badbrains Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Changed the o2 sensor and put some sealant in the manifold slip joint as I thought it might be leaking air. So far so good no faults and seems to be pulling better. Time for new tires:Â Two summers and maybe 20k on these... oh well. Â Did paint the Ozs properly this time and new radinox dishes.

Mr.Badbrains Posted August 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Really happy with the stance now. 1.5'' front 2'' back lips and some - camber added to back. Now they are flush with the fender. Color came out nice too although a bit brighter than I was intending. Edited August 18, 2019 by Mr.Badbrains 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
