Really nice.

What are part numbers from updated control arms?

Kind Regards

I'm not sure I'll be on track myself this time, but happy enough for you to have a drive of my car anytime

Appreciated, I'll take you up on that when I get the chance, likewise you're welcome to have a go in mine as well

Unfortunately I don't have an iThing so won't be able to mess with the custom 1-100 damping settings until they release the Android App (due January). Not sure I can warrant an iPod Touch just to set some damper settings for 3 months.

Will you be able to hold out till the andriod app arrives :yikes:


BTW, looking good

Why you fitting the updated control arms, you got the wheel shimming issue? I have it when cruising at 70mph but heard these newer control arms are just using more damping which isn't great for the handling so I avoided the change. Will very keen to get a feel for this on your car now!

Aye. Was annoying enough with the old rims, but horrible with the new.

Got hold of a Contour+2 'bullet cam'. Sound is not good so need an external mic, but you get the gist I think...

Have thankfully lost all the 'wobble' when I floored it, very planted on the road now. Press the button and the change is immediate: Comfort-Sport-SportPlus. Like it a lot, although think I need to raise it slightly at the rear.

Picture of the button (blurry, sorry).

Did KW give you a warranty with that set up?

Not sure I get you - the kit comes with full warranted with instructions, boxed, fitting toolkit and full set of paperwork.

You mean about the button placement being elsewhere? I left the box at the bodyshop so I'll take some more photos later on. Might put them up in a separate thread

One thing to note. They supply a blanking piece which is supposed to go where the coin holder is and the button mounted into this. This is a nice carbon fibre piece. Unfortunately they sent a LHD shaped piece. Feedback to KW duly given (but mounted the button elsewhere anyway) so didn't need it.

Trying to get this mod ready for tomorrow...

Looking really good Cuppa:thumbsup:

You may want to hide your plate on here?

The spoiler has a switch where the coin holder is so just as well you mounted the coil switch elsewhere and tastefully done opposite the start/stop button. Did you retrofit the start/stop button or already in there?

Any pics from the back - or add them in due course whenn you get chance - im just anxious to see it

 

[Cuppa]

Ben is sending me the switch/loom today. Start stop was a retrofit, yes. More pics when finished, alignment not perfect yet.

Finally got around to wiring up the electrics for the rear spoiler yesterday. Big thanks to IIBen for the looms. Had some fun and games when wiring up as the convenience module was mounted upside down so got lost looking for the bus wire, but got there in the end on all the electrics in the rear. Raises up at 75mph and drops at 50mph. Switch is installed in the console and connected up to the spoiler control module in the rear, just now need to feed power and ground to the switch from the driver fuse panel to be able to manually activate it.

Picked up a cheap external mic yesterday so will look to get some footage of the spoiler and hopefully some decent sound clips of the Capristo.

 

[Wah]

^^lets see it in action :thumbsup:
