Westy Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hopefully getting the diffuser fitted in the next month or so...in preparation I fitted the rear Titan ARB this afternoon. Stock TT vs TITAN And everything tightened up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yeh, there is a good difference in diameter. Should tighten it up and no doubt make it even easier to kick the tail out!lol! I sticker bombed my jack with loads of stupid stickers that came with old car mags etc...makes it a bit more of a statement piece!haha! - - - Updated - - - Westy loves shiny things with good girth...

Abz Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Looking great! Love your attention to detail Mark. By the way how are you jacking the rear up? Using the jack on the diff and then putting axle stands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yes mate. Jack up via the diff but place a piece of wood between the jack and diff so as not to mark the casing and then axle stands either side for safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 I usually slide the jack in the gap at the rear of the front wheel and jack up on the large mount for the control arm and again fit the axle stands...my jack isn't low enough to get under the skirt. Not sure this is the way to do it but it works for me and gives enough leverage to get some height at the front. - - - Updated - - - Love this car! as above the fussiest owner in the world!! Lol!

Westy Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Carried on and got the front TITAN ARB fitted this afternoon...much more of a PITA than the rear as the engine trays etc all need to come off. Assessing before I start: Drop links were completely seized and were past it IMO (surprised the MOT didn't pick them up). Out came the blow torch to heat the nuts and that broke then free! Luckily I had a nice new set! TITAN vs Stock TT: Arches were cleaned up: And engine tray cleaned and refitted: Not one my favourite jobs I've ever done on the car, but everything feels a lot tighter now.

TheTurtleshead Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I bet there's a bolt somewhere that's untouched… almost seized… will undo fine today, maybe even tomorrow… but the day after….? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
