Ga-3M in for vanos rattle clearances

[Gizmo]

Brilliant work!
Is that a brand new ZHP I see there?
And is that gear boot Alcantara?

Love seeing new stuff going in :inlove: So clean and shiny.

:ty:
Yes and yes.

 

[Sankekur]

Yeah R13k.

Not too bad actually.

 

[Auditor]

Is that benzene you're using to clean there Gizmo?

 

[ChrisBrand]

Yeah R13k.

Not too bad actually.

+1. I was quoted about R10 - 12K for a Non-M one so thats very good.

 

[Crash_Nemesis]

Yup. My exhaust box rubbers were dead too. Also had them replaced. Glad to see the car is getting the needed attention. Nice work guys.

 

[Gizmo]

Is that benzene you're using to clean there Gizmo?

yes, to make sure there is no oil or prepsol residue.

 

[Auditor]

I'd consider using something else, I know it works really well but it is a known carcinogen. A friend of mine died of leukaemia and they traced it back to benzene in the factory he worked in.

 

[Daaf Vader]

That prop shaft, damn I am angry for your part... :yuck:

Further great attention to detail by all people working on the car, great job!

New rubber mounts.


Old ones off.


This one had the steel re-enforcement installed the wrong way round, metal on metal vibrations and the mounting boolt/nut was loose.





Strip the re-enforcements off the old ones, karcher clean and refit to new rubbers.



Fitted and ready to go. go


But before I refit I saw some flashes and burrs from the metal tube cutting that replaces the cats, these unnessesary restrictions are due to lazy exhaust shop guys.



The fix.



Broken mounting tab so I fitted a large washer for more mounting surface area.




When I removed the 3bolt brace underneath I noticed the centre bolt wasn't the right one, not only that but it was forced to work, damaging the threads in the rear subframe. The wrong bolt being M10 1.75 and the right bolt being M10 1.5 thread.



The fix, M10 1.5 thread tap.




Brand new bolt goes in easily.

Oil service.



Wrong tool marks on sump plug! Thankfully my 6mm allen tool went in with one or two light taps of the the hammer.


Demon dog overseas all fluid flushes.


Exhaust tips much closer to bumper now, closes spot is 6mm.



The oil and the shifter boot issue, LHD vs RHD.











She is finished and back with the happy owner, vibration issue he had is gone and he's liking the short shift for a bit of spirited driving. He says the car feels more solid now.:thumbs:

 

[Rayzor]

[zama]

[UpNcOmiNg!]

EPIC work man!

That gear boot and lever are just something else :inlove: Definitely a must-have in my next car :fencelook: One day.

Bring the ///M Gareth!

 

[Ashlin]

Awesome work and extra touches Gizmo.:thumbs:

 

[Ga-3M]

Thanks again for the work done and the extra effort and attention to detail Warren!:thumbs: it is much appreciated! The car is feeling awesome, slight vibrations are gone and as you have said the car feels more solid and smoother overall! Short shifter is sweet, takes a little bit of getting used to compared to stock but for spirited driving it works a treat!!:rollsmile:

And it looks so awesome as well!!:joy:

+1 for solid work.

Hell, we share/trade work so often its only fitting we share customer's threads, I didn't see a need to create a whole new thread just for my work on the car.
