MLR's Bogan cruise ship

[The Bogan]

Finally installed the Forsa FP2 brake pads in the front

Flushed the fluid and bedded them in

Old pads were QFM HPX 

So far so good, good cold bite, good feel, seem to be a good street pad

The HPX pads in the rear still have a bit of life left, I will try the Forsa FP1 in the rear when the HPX and done

[The Bogan]

Had a major service done on my lateral compartments

+20kw plus improved throttle and brake control 

As you can see I am bedding them in now

Also went with some tint, all the cool kids are going orange

Fitted the Forza FP2 pads in the rear to match the fronts I put in last week

Also purchased a little mechanic seat thingie with wheels for working on the brakes and suspension, makes life so much easier

Got Solar Tint to install 35% Black Envy Ceramic window tint

Years of running and carrying a pack ended up screwing up my lower leg muscles, in the end when I was walking long distance the compartment stuff (sausage skin) that covers the muscles didn't stretch enough and the pressure started to cut off blood flow to my feet.

Should be all good now.

In other, more boost orientated news: the car is booked in on Monday for the charger, again, it cannot come quick enough, I've had to change the dates for getting the charger installed twice already, once for work and once for the surgery.

This time next week should be fun.

Hope you get better soon brah, can't do standstills with weak legs.. how you going to stomp on the brakes as soon as you light up the rears?

Better post up skid videos.

[The Bogan]

Just dropped off the car to Autotech 

I have all the excitements

 

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Better post up skids video of boganmobile.

[The Bogan]

So far so good, should see dyno today and ready for pickup tomorrow 

Much excite

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Yeah, it seems to be a recurring theme 

[The Bogan]

So, the dyno results hey

With the blower at around 5-7 psi at it, it got to 317kwatw and about 950nm...

So a gain of about 47kwatw, but a extra 500nm of gearbox destroying, rubber laying torque

From talking to the tuner though the final kw number and shape of the curves can be taken with a grain of salt because of the highstall slipping, and stuff....... yadda yadda yadda......meh........it's all black magic to me

On the road, it's a freight train, I could only give it a little hit, but the before and after difference is, well, big

My next thing to do is revisit Craig's Automatics to adjust the autos tune, so it locks up a bit sooner, "or something" then hit the strip to see what it really does in anger

Overall, on day 1, I'm happy and haven't broken anything, yet, well, apart from traction

[CEF33Y]

Looks like it would blow the tires off at lower RPM. Excellent.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Skids video not loading brah

[admS15]

Fark brah, give the man some time.

We expect skid vid by close of business today. Chop chop, get to it Mr MLR.

[The Bogan]

I needed to pop back in to get the speedo calibrated, it was set to whatever the stock centre was.

I called and talked to Spiro and he said pop in whenever I was available, I said I am, he said bring it on in, so I did, he also stuck it straight back on the dyno and tickled the tune a bit because he wasn't happy with the idle when off throttle.

Excellent service

Everything is GTG now, plus I just took the long way back to work

It is nice and whiney, on the throttle, but not overly, you can only just here it in the cabin, which is nice, outside, it sounds 

The car cruises like a dream

Coolant temps, on the stock gauge at least, hasn't changed, even when I was sitting in traffic for 10 minutes trying to get off Parramatta road

As for bonnet clearance, it easily fitted and there was no need to chop up my new under bonnet liner thingie, winning....

I might paint the trans cooler black to hide it a bit

[The Bogan]

After a quick squirt with brake clean and some flat black rattle can action, I present......stealth mode

It's still wet but you get the gist

With no actual hands on prep, the fisheyes on the hoee clamps, and a few missed spots behind a bracket or hose, it is just like a Holden quality paint job...poor quality 

IMO it does look better than before though
