Yesterday I was informed the new R-tyres are on their way and they should be delivered to me today. The flush fit wheel air valves have also been shipped. Soon time to get it all assembled and balanced. Exciting

I have that kind of valve on my other wheels too and they bring a nice touch to it.





---------------------------------------------------------

It turned out very well with the flush valves on the new wheels I use for the R-tyres. Pictures to be posted after next round in the garage. I will have to remember to always keep the air fill adatper in the car from now on.

When the tyres were mounted on to the rims, they had to pump them up to more than 4 Bar of pressure. It sounded like a big cannon in the tyre shop. My poor ears...I wasn't prepared at all... at least not when the first tyre went on.

Mounted some parts. It will be ok but as shown, there is lots to adjust regarding wheel alignment and I will also adjustthe track both front and rear. At the rear, there is plenty of Camber but still a slight gap between the tyre and the fender. At the front, there is also some space for adjustments. I will decide how much I want to slam the car when the coilovers have settled. The steering angle has improved with the spacers mounted on the inner tie rods.

Some tiny bits in place

At last, a major problem has been solved.
Earlier I used Aeromotive fuel filters with 10 micron filter elements and they blocked up very fast due to the small filter housings. I had to install filter elements with a coarser mesh and I did not feel particularly well about it.

Thanks to Creatix I got hold of much larger and very hearty AEM filters that remove all particles down to 7 microns without being blocked. Very good!

They also flow through a proper amount of fuel. How about 2800 liters/h at 3.1 bar I like!

Tucked the harnesses both sides to avoid shortage and tyre rubbing when the ride height is adjusted fully down. I also temporarily put on the newly painted fenders. Top notch paint job Thanks to Thomas

Sometimes it is Christmas more than once in a year.

I mounted the newly painted parts and also assembled the two Bosch fuel pumps in their bracket. Then something happened...

I did something more...






But....?

What now...?

...

The rear spoiler is removed and has been put up for sale.

The front bumper is at the paint shop. Yeah!
I also mounted the fuel pumps, fuel filters and some engine/FMIC tubes.

Todays visit at Creatix resulted in a couple of spare insert for the two AEM-fuelfilters and an oil filter relocation kit. Good size with the AN10-connections.
