my meega overhaul...
« on: 16 April 2008, 20:50:58 »

Right then chaps,

I love my meega and want to keep her going for as long as possible so i am going to give her some lurvin  ;D

My meega has a few knocks etc, soft handling and shite brakes lol

The plan is as follows:
Replace Front lower wishbones
Replace Front Anti Rollbar drop links and Rollbar bushes
Replace Rear Anti Rollbar bushes
Fit new performace shocks and springs all round (coilovers maybe)
Change front discs and pads for a mintex set
Replace Rear Pads for mintex items
Flush brake fluid with new dot5.1 stuff
Source and Fit a twin elite backbox

Engine work:
Replace Rocker cover gaskets
Clean breather system
Clean Plenums and Throttle Body
Replace Spark Plugs and Leads
Replace Exhuast Manifold Gaskets
Fit new Performance Chip (191 bhp) from germany
Sort out induction feeds (cold air)
Oil and filter change
Oil and filter on Autobox too

You reckon i'll be busy  :D

P.S where can i buy an LSD from?

Thanks
Jon

LSD......just keep looking on E-Bay mate they do come up, one has just sold on there today for £163 :o

Lots to keep you busy matey and a tidy sum it will all cost to.

Goodluck.

Use Genuine cam cover gaskets or you will end up doing them again ;)

sounds very similar to my project. so far ive almost got the repairs done so i can start modding.

have you thought of welding the diff? would mean it was always locked but is an alternative to and LSD.
