XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 20y 7m 1d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 21/06/14 09:51 AM Share Posted 21/06/14 09:51 AM Started out by pulling passenger door trim off to find a rattle that been there for 2 years, which should have been a 30min fix and ended up in the garage for 6 hours.Ended up doing the following:- Pulled all door trims off and addressed some common FG build quality issues when it comes for poorly assembled door trims that results in rattle and squeaks. (there is a good thread in the AFF FG section about this)- While I was at it, called the missed who was out to swing past Jaycar and grab me a few packs of sounds deadening. Installed sound deadener to inside of all 4 door skins.- Had a set of front and rear Pioneer speakers I impulse bought many moons ago that have been sitting in boxes collecting dust, so whipped up some MDF spacers and fitted them up.Put the car back together and after lunch, though while I was at it I would take my wheels off to clean and inspect them and also re-bleed the brakes. After fitting the upgraded brakes over xmas I was not 100% convinced the one man bleed kit I used was that great.So off came the back wheels for a thorough clean and bleed the rears using the trusty old two man bleed method. Bled about 200ml of fluid through each rear caliper and both had small amounts of air in the lines. Repeated the process at the front and only the passenger inner nipple showed a few very small air bubbles. Bleed another 200ml though each front Brembo caliper and put is all back together.6 hours later took it for a drive and good results all round. Doors feel a sh!tload more solid and no more rattles in the door trims plus there is less road noise in the car. The Pioneer 2ways that replaced the factory premium Pioneer paper speakers sound a lot better too. A lot more clarity and do not distort like the factory speakers did.Brakes feel better too and I just better knowing that they have been done properly ............good days work in the garage while it pissed down outside all day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont drive it anymore. If it hasnt scored the housings only new core. To check for oil take off line and put in 2L icecream container.Have a friend hold the accelerator flat to the floor and crank the car over in 5 - 10 second bursts. Oil should start to gush out after the second or third time. No oil means blocked filter or coked line.DO NOT TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR WHILE CRANKING OR THE CAR WILL START. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
