hey Razor, good to hear about the pedders, yes the pipercross or KnN or green or any other filter with the covering costs a bit more, 7000 or so to be precise

Hey Swap,

Which type of setup sucked in water? Are you referring to yours or Razor's current setup?

i think he talking about the setup that busa has shown. if you can see the intake pipe is directed towards the bumper grill.

Yup, pretty sure Swap is referring to his own setup (pic provided by Busa).

Fitting the Pedders has proved to be a big challenge. Still working with Krupesh to find a way to get this done.

The struts (minus the springs) dont look too different.

The pedders springs being stiffer would have to be of lesser length to keep the car ride height the same.

The stock ones look longer due to there being no tension in them.

As far as I see it, you should not have any problem installing these. But why does the mechanic say this is non-compatible? Any difference in bush sizes etc?

All the best. You car will not be Murphy, she will be how you named her.

The Commonwealth is calling Razor!

The pics I had posted earlier were for the rear struts+springs. Those have been fitted, though the mechanic is not too confident about how they will perform. I am hoping they'll be ok.

The latest issue is with the front struts. The Pedders strut thickness is more than the OE ones. As a result, they do not fit through the hole in the strut mount. According to Krupesh, I will need to drill the strut mount to expand the opening that will allow the strut to fit.
All very complicated. Not sure how it'll turn out.

Dont worry, this will be fine. Drilling the strut mount is no big deal as long as the strut axis is the same. I know the general pshyche of the mechanics. They are exaggerating things just because they are having to do stuff based on your inputs. Moreover you are making them put in stuff which they have not procured. They will never change, so will we!

yup..
i'm talking about my setup...
and the intake pipe is not directed towards the bumper grill... but to the vent which is located just inside the front left fender from where the stock filter sucks the are in....

Update on the suspension:
The Pedders, both front and rear have been fitted. Had to do quite a bit of juggad to achieve this. They are not a straightforward fit... I hope that the end result is good. Thanks to Farhaan and Krupesh for helping out.
Hoping to get the car back with all the work completed on Tuesday. It's been a long wait.
Pics...

Congratulations Razor, finally.

Ishan - Commonwealth games are here this year, eh??

shuvd · 29th September 2007, 20:12

Finally! So, when do we get to see Phoenix in all her glory?

Wimwian · 29th September 2007, 21:35

Hey Razor, I had no idea u'd gone to the workshop today. I'd gone to Glix around noon to help a friend deck up his car... would've visited the workshop too if i'd known!! Good to see pedders finally installed... how much longer now?

redeye · 29th September 2007, 21:59
