Shadowfell

Post by buzzn » Sun Mar 20, 2016 11:02 pm

Hello All,

I have been a visitor of this forum since few years following the prelude build-offs. And am glad to say I am a proud owner of 'Shadowfell' aka Grey 1996 2.0 Import from Austria apparently its a right-hand drive, and done only 45000 miles on the clock :)

It had been kept off the road for 7 years. I bought the car off my work colleague who had this car under his ownership for 3 to 4 months. The previous owner to him did the cambelt, service, and brakes all round so its pretty good for now.

Here are some pics.

Welcome.
Yes, looks good. Any pics in daylight to show it off? Or are you fully shadowy by name, shadowy by nature? :D

Well, I actually prefer taking pics during sunsets. So yes, I do prefer being in the shadows...

Meanwhile the first job I did on the car was to bleed the brakes. I did use my left over brake fluid from last month, but anything is better than the black oil which was in there. The only set back was the seized bleed screws (nipples :D )

I will be replacing the Bleed screws with install of new EBC Brakepads next month. Not going OEM as I have plans to transplant 282mm braking system.

Mod Update:
One of the latest mod is the new Un-silent mid pipe. Sounds pretty good. Quite for cruising, and throaty for freaking insane driving :D

Will upload the video soon.

Next up is Window Tints + Suspension.
