Just got my new springs and shocks

Now I'm just waiting on the wheels and tyres...

Picked up a NRG Quick Release and Quick Lock from Harlan today.

Now I just need a steering wheel that doesn't look so mankey!

wow, looks awesome!
does harlan sell them I assume? how much did it cost?
I would love one myself

Sorry MrGrey! I picked it up from Harlan since he no longer needed it for his car, he's not a retailer

all good, it looks great!
what is the fitment like? any looseness at all?

harlansmart · Post by **harlansmart** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 9:50 am

Awesome look... functional but also trick looking, actually one of the best ways to make your car look race-ready like running semi's & carrying the odd battle scar imo - many fakes out there but knowing yours are the real deal only makes it cooler.

MrGrey - pretty certain the fit is fairly decent & doubt theres much 'looseness' although you often do get a bit of play w/QR setups.

Thats got to be a good anti car conversion device. Wont get round many corners in that state. Does anyone know where to source these from and the going price at all? I also would probably be keen on a set up like that.

I gave the wheel a good tug and wiggle after installing, honestly it's really tight, feels like it's bolted straight to the column, you definitely can't tell there's something inbetween the wheel. I don't know about the cheaper QR's though, I'd suspect they would have some play but I'm unsure.

The Quick lock works well but there's slight movement (we're talking 1.5mm side to side, barely anything) but that's getting very picky, I'm very pleased with both items!

Honestly it wasn't the cheapest ($300-400) but I do not regret it at all, you pay for quality and that's what I got, very high quality.

Thanks Harlan

Fitted the larger crank pulley to my car today for the supercharger, so what arrived today was more power!

It now hits 8psi. I,m VERY happy with the results.

Wont be hitting the gas again until I get it on the dyno now to see if the fuelling is all ok.

I had some mirrors arrive today, looks like I will have a busy weekend!

What is the intercooler out of?

Turbo diesel Ford Mondeo MA chassis

I am thinking of intercooling my supercharged car but I have heard there can be idle problems with large coolers so would need to go on the smaller size for a intercooler. What are the measurments of yours?

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 6:56 pm

awesome siren, things are coming along nicely for you!

siren676 · Post by **siren676** » Fri Oct 25, 2013 11:21 pm

Cheers MrGrey, just need to sort out the intercooler piping, oil/water lines, manifold and downpipe. oh and tune

Thankfully these bits were cheap

Just got home and measured it, the core(minus end tanks) is 560x160x40mm. Seems to be the perfect size to fit the duct

Had this "arrive" for my Roadster.....

GRUVBB · Post by **GRUVBB** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 11:59 am

Hey Fooesboy.... sorry to see that carnage

flip side... Looks like you were still able to drive home. Obviously some idiot did not see or care about your Love Machine. Hope they got plenty cash or insurance. Hows your steering components underneath???

fooesboy · Post by **fooesboy** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 12:49 pm

This was unfortunately "self inflicted"

Too much of a hurry backing out of an underground car park.

Wheel and steering is all ok, I've already picked up a new guard and bumper.

I guess that this just means that she needs to go into the paint shop sooner rather than later.

fooesboy · Post by **fooesboy** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 12:57 pm

On the positive side of life, I have had my KG Works gauge cluster arrive as well as some Carbon Miata door cups and a Momo Prototipo steering wheel.

I have also ordered some Revlimiter gauges, they should be here this week.

gutted to hear of your prang, but I love your new goodies!

Are those rpf1s on your car fooesboy?

Joel · Post by **Joel** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 6:52 pm

They look more like Racing Hart CP035s. Awesome cluster, wanted one for a while but can't see myself putting the money down. heh

fooesboy · Post by **fooesboy** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 7:52 pm

I think that they are just some cheep Avanti copies... at least they have Avanti centres. 15" they look ok, could really do with a re-spray. They where white once a upon a time and the black is coming off in places.

Fog lights are underrated, picked these up from REDBEN(?)
