welshlad73 10 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) So heres some bits i have to fit to the car over the weekend. I also bought a new sump which i am modifying, adding some baffles. I made some templates out of cardboard and used photos of the schrick alloy sump. Made the baffles out of steel sheet, approx 1mm thick. A bit of welding tomorrow night and install on the weekend.

welshlad73 10 Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Done a few things over the weekend, all new coolant flanges, 2 new oil pressure sensors, windage tray, oil and filter change including flush. Fitted the RS outlet kit and fitted the standard sump, decided on not fitting the modded sump pan. Engine is running alot smoother and running cooler with the new coolant flanges fitted. As they were ready to leak, the odd wet patch around the flanges. Power is much smoother running the RS adapter.

Redfox 10 Posted June 29, 2014 Could you possibly take a few Photos of the install of the rs kit? Kind regards, Jacques. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshlad73 10 Posted June 30, 2014 This is the only one i took, not greatly clear but a pic at least. If your fitting one, ensure you smear a small amount of silicone sealant around the seal edge of the adapter and a small spot of lock tight on the holding stud to the charger.

Redfox 10 Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks, Did you notice any difference regarding sound from the g-lader and a change in power? Kind regards, Jacques. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshlad73 10 Posted June 30, 2014 It does sound slightly louder, a nice hum. Power is more direct and smoother, from what i noticed so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G_Power 10 Posted July 1, 2014 Good job, I wish I was better at taking pics of the things I do to my G60! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robster 0 Posted July 1, 2014 This is a great thread, as G owner myself with a standard G set up Iam interested in the mods you are making that make a difference while not going ott on the car also. Is that a standard suspension? Keep you the great work and the posts also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshlad73 10 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Thanks, yeah its on standard suspension, i find its firm enough without being on the floor. Just ordered a pair of 8 inch D90's for the rear. Edited July 1, 2014 by welshlad73 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshlad73 10 Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) So i received the above alloys on Monday, unwrapped them and found them to be in poor condition, heavily curbed etc. So i had a refund and sent them back. Today i had a new refurbed pair of 8 x 16 et52 for the rears. [ATTACH=CONFIG]79191[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]79192[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]79193[/ATTACH] So i decided to fit them on the rear hubs to see if they will fit without rubbing, i'm using hub centric adapters 20mm spaced. [ATTACH=CONFIG]79194[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]79195[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]79196[/ATTACH] They are very tight to the axle as you can see in the pic above, but are not rubbing, just wondered what peoples thoughts are on tyre size and adapter size i should be using, unless the 20mm ones i'm using are ok? Currently running 6 x 16 ET52 all round with 195/45/16 tyres. Edited July 8, 2014 by welshlad73 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshlad73 10 Posted July 12, 2014 Fitted the new rear wheels today with new 195/45/16 tyres. No rubbing and looks good, i'l take some pics tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
