Had the old girl (erm, the car, that is
) out for a blast today - just to make sure nothing was gonna fall off, and to see/hear what the TTI system was like
Gave it a bit more tweakage first tho, as once the car was back on the garage floor, the tips needed a bit more adjustment to get them level.
They stick out beyond the bumper more than we'd have liked, but thats as far back as they go
Stu had already finished off the other odds'n'ends we'd been tinkering with since last Oct when we last used it.
I'm sure I'll miss some, but since then we've replaced/refurbed/added:
New prop & U-J
5 new seat belts
Front & rear seat covers & foam
Front & rear door panels
Door locks
Interior door & window handles (new parts picked up from Vegas/M.A.T.S.)
Door fuzzies & weatherstrip
Door & window mechanisms lubed/repaired
TTI system from headers/manifolds back
Park mechanism & sumps gaskets replaced
K&N filters
Fitted dog-dishes that we've had for a couple of years. Not correct for the year, but neither were 15" wheels, so what the hey....
Havent changed the instrument cluster over yet - we'll look into that over the next few weeks probably, once we know exactly whats involved. Only the speedo doesnt work at the mo - dont want to end up with NO working gauges
Test drive went ok - driveline vibration seems to be better with the new prop, but the Dynomax mufflers dont half drone up to about 2000rpm
and cause an annoying rattling somewhere in the dash..... so all in all, prob no better off than the old (quieter) exh & wobbly prop
gawd knows what Flowmaster would be like (an option on the TTI system) as theyre supposed to be louder
More pics of the interior too, but this was the first time it had seen daylight since the new bits went in. Sorry if there's too many - couldnt decide which to include so put em all on
Dont hold back, anti steels'n'dog dish club members........
