Bullfinch 0 Posted June 12, 2010 I spotted your Storm when I was up at DG yesterday getting a new front wheel bearing fitted. Once you get your car back it will be good to get your views on the Jetex - I'm still running OEM from new (now 14 years) so I expect at some stage the exhaust will start blowing. I had all my front suspension done last year by the folks at DG so I can vouch for how well it drives now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will do fella ive gone for the 3 box system so should sound almost OEM, think im looking forward to getting the feeling back through the steering wheel felt rather loose and not like i was at one with the car :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon_vr6 1 Posted June 12, 2010 Yeah would love to see what the superchargers like as im either going SC or Turbo eventually may change my mind though and keep it like it is :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted June 12, 2010 Jon when are you due to pick the car up? I'm hoping mine will be ready next weekend... :D Might see my red Rado up there then as I'm dropping it off on Friday afternoon for a bit of spannering and an MOT :) Suspect it'll need a few jobs to get it through the MOT though so will probably be there till the following week!

Jon_vr6 1 Posted June 23, 2010 Right then had a majorly big list for D&G Autotech to get through when i brought it in VT Mounts. Road Mounts all round. Jetex Exhaust Injectors ultrasonically cleaned Mk4 Rear brakes, bearings, pads etc Wavetrac Diff fitted Gearbox stripped and rebuilt DG Fan kit. Brackets and fans all wired up Wheel alignment Front suspension. Rebuild New ball joints, rod end, rods, front wheel bearings etc New CV joints, boots etc. New aux water pump So dropped it in Dave took it for a quick spin and everything seemed fine got out had a took under the bonnet and Dave revved the engine and there was a nasty rattle noise coming from the chain area. I knew it couldnt have been the chains as they had been done approx 2/3 years earlier so left it with them to investigate this is what was causing all the noise A bolt had sheered the one that the tensioner pad sits on left a nice impression According to Dave i was a lucky boy as if that had run loose and got inbetween the chains bye bye engine phew So to add to the list above mk4 items and genuine items we used so mk4 tensioner pad etc Anyway pics of the rest of the work Exhaust Gauges Mk4 rears Track rods etc Mounts Gearbox right had a few probs with the Arp bolts but all worked out in the end diff installed, new first gear cog needed replacing and main shaft Anyway all worked out in the end and the Diff is fantastic you can really push it through them corners now :D Big thanks to Dave and Graham amazing blokes wouldnt even consider taking the storm any where else now :D Jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
