Pampered my TTE turbo

[Bugster_MR2]

I've been pampering my TTE turbo for the last few weeks:
Oil and filter replaced.
Air filter replaced.
MAF cleaned.
Both rear caliper replaced. And the fluid.
Four new KYB dampers with H&R 30mm lowering springs, new top mounts, spring seats and rubbers, dust boots.
All stabilizer links replaced.
Alignment done.
Installed poly reinforcment in the front engine mount.
Two new Falkens in the rear, 225/40-16.
New OE floor mats.

And soon a new Zero race cat will be going in. 

Happy to report that the H&R springs did not lower the car that much/too much IMO.I assume it might go down a few mm once the springs "set". The improvement in ride quality is huge. Looking forward to a proper drive once the weather improves.

  you can never give a bit of to much loving to 2
nice jobs done and a friend with ramp with weekly visits just to see how they are  and keep them in check  

the shocks and springs bet they look better as well when looking at your 2

Good work, glad the shocks/springs have worked out for you!

@Bugster_MR2 how did you replace the air filter?
The TTE branded one I have is a reusable one but ever so dirty, wonder if you've replaced the inner and kept the outer branded rubber or if you've gone paper instead?

FYI - I have a nice set of TTE pitlane wheels 16" all round in mint condition if you fancy. Bought them on instinct and now not sure I want to replace my current set.

I went paper instead. I am not particularly fond of washable, oily filters.

Sounds like you've put some serious care into the build! Good call with the H&Rs not going too low—I've made that mistake before and ended up scraping everywhere. Glad to hear the ride feels better too. Falkens have always worked well for me, solid grip. I'm curious how the Zero race cat changes things up once it's in!
