^Lol, ok so another eventfull weekend doing the same thing (scraping off underseal) but finally it's all off


Ive taken off the fuel tank bracket to try and shred more weight, second pic is the box section i was referring to (passenger rear arch) but i can't remember what's it for so maybe someone can say if it's of importance and needed or not?.



Bought a 20gallon sandblaster in the week and planned to attack the underside this weekend but weather is pethetic (scatered showers) so i'll have to leave it untill a sunny weekend, if we ever get one that is.


I wanna try and eliminate the need for my whiteline ARB so whats people's views on the pure Motorsport rear axle strengthening kit and bearing kit? If fitted together would they be too tough in the event of the axle taking a bang and bend the chassis? If so what item would you suggest in fitting strengthening plates or bearing kit?

They are good bits of kit but people have been advised against using them both together for the reason you stated.

Would it not be better to have a rear arb so you have some more adjust ability for wet/dry/whatever you like?

I know what the box part is for now guys turns out its a ph1 design for the exhaust hanger, was thinking to much about stuff to do than look at another members ph1 car in my garage (waiting for a engine change)

Thanks for confirming fella, i'll leave the stiffening kit then and order the bearing kit.

Didn't think about the adjustment side of the ARB , don't think it would be of any help/use as i'm using cup racer suspension so very hard on the rear end anyway but time will tell.

Update 2
Came over the garage yesterday at 16:00 and been out here since, so 1st i've been trying to get the sandblaster working earlier by trying it out on the front anti roll bar so loaded the container with kilm dried sand (been advised to use this but if it's no good i can purchase abrasives from a local company) well didn't get it to work as there's some chunky bits so keep blocking the end, will have to purchase a 1mm mesh sieve before i use it now.

I removed the box that's used as a exhaust mount on ph1's and welded up the seam, i also welded up the grommet holes that's under the standard seat rails.



And finally after trying to find jobs on the shell i could do and not coming up with anything i got bored and decided i'll spray my roll cage ready and leave the ends so it won't burn the paint when it comes to welding it in.



Sorry for the pic quality all using a iPhone 4s as its easier to upload them without going on the laptop.

I have removed my whiteline ARB and have used some Pure Motorsport toe shims, car feels much more progressive on the limit yet more adjustable on the throttle. Whiteline caused it to pitch onto 3 wheels more and made it feel snatchy. I would go for the axle stiffening kit, this will reduce flex of the axle causing the back wheels to change geometry during hard cornering.

Cage looks sexy!
