Dragon Mods

Recommended Posts

Anyone doing any mods to their car in anticipation for the dragon? New brakes, tires, suspension?? Post up!

 

Sara should have her short shifter installed in the next month or so, and maybe a sway bar or exhaust.

 

I have a whole bunch of stuff, but I recently just ordered my tires! Maxxis RC1 245/15 and 275/17.

 

Yes.. this warm weather has given me dragon brain.

16% pulley, 4% crank pulley new belt, Flashpoint MK1 Header, Supercharger service & new waterpump (new gaskets and seals), rear seat removal (maybe) with dynamat, new brake pads, and a proper cleaning/detailing. I also have a 2.5" Catback that i may install if the Header and 1-ball mod doesn't please my ears

 

I have this in the box, not sure if i'll install though:

Also bought into the GP Wing Run, might get that slapped on before MOTD:

So, I have a 10 year old R53... what does that mean? Today I got my car back after getting the following done:

 

1. ALL fluids/filters replaced

2. New lower control arm bushings (Powerflex)

3. Supercharger service

4. New belt and belt tensioner

5. New waterpump

6. Rebuilt Axle

7. New sunroof seal

8. A few other small fixes that should prevent boost leaks

 

Also, last year, I had my suspension sorted since I now have Coil-overs. Primary goal was to achieve nice stance, but maintain tire wear and proper driving feel. :motor: (unlike the dopes with the crooked tires) :laugh:

 

.... I'm rambling again...

UGGGHHH... 6 days until I depart and not even close to being ready yet. I still need to adjust my ride height due to new wheel tire/set up, change the oil and possibly the brake fluid. I have an alignment and corner balance scheduled for Friday and I still need to wash and wax the car. (PS, due to road grime and massive amounts of rubber/brake dust) you really should put a few coats of wax on the car before the trip, it will make cleaning up the car after a lot easier.)

 

I'm sure I will find more to do. I may even change my springs before I get the alignment done. :stupid:
