As Im working on all of the other mechanical bits, had a nice delivery from zunsport this morning!

New grill.

 

Bruh!?! I've been debating on getting that for MONTHS, but I just couldn't justify the price without knowing anyone that could vouch for it. Can't wait to see it on and on the sun.

 

Me too and I finally pulled the trigger - took 3 days from the UK, well packaged, well built and was installed in less than 5 mins. Love it so far! Better than having stuff hit the radiator and intercoolers. Definitely vouching for it.

 

Ok, thermostat installed and all back together (I hope haha - this is where my brain tells me I forgot something!)



For those interested, I used red grease to lube the thermostat, pressed a rubber mallet up against it and used a pry bar to push on the rubber mallet, with the dampener as the fulcrum.

 

How did the mesh grilles attach? and are they on the front or back of the vent bars? Also on zunsport I only see grills for a GTS Panamera not turbo?

 

Did you get the engine brace hooked back up (notice it wasn't in the picture )

 

You mean the torque damper on the top left? I had a panic then thinking I was missing an engine brace haha! It isnt hooked up as Im still waiting on my NGKs to be delivered

 

Looks like they only do them for the GTS/aero kit bumper...

They have clips on the back end:

 

Sway bar bushings done and cross member back on and torqued to spec

 

Sneak peak...

 

Love it, would love to be able to do that to mine

 

ooooh wow, that looks good

 

Every time I get a chance to work on the car is one step closer...

Currently got an issue with the demon eye potentially blocking the dynamic cornering light now as that causes an error qhen cornering only.

Still need to replace 2 sensors but broke the brand new water pump pulley by over tightening. Got a new water pump, too.

Now having a boost issue, but that basically leaves 3 things on the to do list

Solve boost issue
Solve and wire in demon eye issue
Replace 2 temp sensors

Looking good though

 

Still need to sort the two temp sensors, and am getting a weird situation with not being able to run more than 0.6bar boost on overboost. Demon eye lights are in but blocking the projector turning with PDLS, so needing to find another mounting point. Just test wired them in though...


Also was on a rally and had a fist sized bouldee land in the road, catch my wheel and rocket up through the side skirt, so more body and wheel repair to be done after I get the rest operating properly. Meanwhile, glue back in to place...



Now have to find out where this grommet comes out un the driver foot well, as that is where the demon eye wiring needs to be routed to. There is the wiring from the old laser deflector still there which is a bonus, but dont know where it comes out. Anyone know?



Its this grommet. The old wire is unused by the old laser deflector system.

 

Demon eyes are in, finally. Lots of wiring headaches but well set up now
