Hello folks, bought my TQS from a friend last year, so far its had:
- full Mehle suspension arm kit.
- new suspension springs (Eibach Pro kit).
- new bushes on rear suspension arms that aren't available in above Mehle kit.
- new cambelt and water pump.
- full service oil, sparks, gearbox and diff oil.
- dash pod repair due to pixelation.
- air intake system totally replaced with new MAF.
- a few vacuum hoses and purge valve for fuel pressure.
- various bits of external trim that was damaged or missing including arch liner connectors, undertray and bottom door trim strips.
I put new MOT on Monday this week and have a couple hundred miles under my belt but still got loads to do. The suspension set-up has done the trick rides like new but does need a tweak to centre the wheel perfect.
Next up is new thermostat which i overlooked previously but is now demonstrably sticking open, I'm a bit cold on the run to work lol. Booked onto the ramp Monday next.
Also needs a clean before pics.
I'm now thinking of doing the clutch as pretty much all other consumables complete and I want it mechanically sorted before any further cosmetics - anyone care to chip in some advice on kits and costs inc. labour?
Cheers
Chris
