there was a few when I bought it, mostly done for power. that includes; fpv intercooler, 42lb injectors (I believe), fuel pump, high flow cat and air box to house a k&n pod

after I bought it, changed the front suspension, still need do rears. threw the pwr trans cooler on.

other than that, just been fixing up whats split / broken really. started with the diff bushes and driveline damper. swapped the sway bar links out for new ones. all that's left for the fixing right now is the control bushes on the rear and that wiring loom on the back of the 6speeds that leaks past the o-rings

then I have a list of things that I'll be doing to it once everything is fixed up

I've used both Superpro and Whiteline bushes in the past in the control blades. Both work very well with the WL being slightly less harsh. If you have any plans to up the HP level definitely go for a poly bushes over stock rubber.

The Wiring connector seal tube on the ZF is very easy but you will need to drop the pan/fluid. The Part is only around $30.

Re the adjustable arms vs the eccentric bushes. If I didn't have the camber adjustment built into the rear upright I would go down this adj upper arm road. Allows much finer adjustment as the eccentric bush is static once installed so cannot be adjusted.

Eventually will look at upping the hp, but want to make sure it runs smooth first.

The plug on the 6speeds, need to use an earth strap before doing it, correct? Will look at doing it in the not too distant future. Replaced trans fluid and filter just over 10 months ago. Could probably put it off for a little bit so long as it doesnt leak too much out.

I have to agree though. The adjustable arms seem like the better option over the 2. Seems to be replacing 2 tyres every 12 months. Just hoping I can get it into specs with them

I was always told that you have to use an earth strap on it. do you disconnect battery or anything first or just drop the pan and go for gold?

not sure what its running camber wise but it is all factory bushing with lowered suspension with no camber adjust arms. hoping the kit ralph link will be able to straighten it out a little. ride height for the car is 350mm from center wheel to guard. so not overly lowered but SA regency wasnt too happy about it when it went through.

although, funny thing about regency. put it through with factory BA suspension in the car and it was still "too low" for their system by about 10mm all round

Guys. My first change was to Superpro "Comfort" bushes. They had to be replaced. The mechanic who pulled them out told me that they had been installed incorrectly. I am now running the heavy duty Superpro bushes and don't have any issues with NVH. Maybe that's because old farts hear less noise? Apart from brick under the accelerator, are there any adjustments to reduce axle tramp? It's just a tad noticeable from a standing start on dampish surfaces.
