Oh shite, my covers been blown! Mwuahahaha!!

Should be good! Can't wait!

Looks a bit off, kinda looks as if it needs more laquer? Quite flat as it is!

Didn't do both wheels in white, too lazy. Red lip looks best tbh!

I personally plan on washing my car before the meet, but I guess thats just me!

bump!!

Yeah will most likely be coming to both if thats OK (definately the meet!) PS: Riko you better be coming!!!

Cannae wait! Has it now dropped down to £30 per car? Also, when I try AA route planner, it doesn't recognise that postcode! Think I'll be convoying with dan_ep82 - hope he knows where hes going

Get some vids up of it! Wanna hear this beasty!

Read what I suggested up. A few of us over at TGTT have had this problem, and its an easy fix that makes a lot of difference.

Go on whack me down! Might as well come along! Only £30 eh!

Hey Just thinking about ordering this : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Startlet-EP82-EP91-T...1QQcmdZViewItem and was wondering if anybody has ordered one before, if so, how quickly did it come? Did you have to pay import tax? What was the quality like? Any pics of it fitted? Any noticeable changes in power/torque? I know that some of you are going to say, "Order it from Dave!" but incl. gaskets its £150 so I could save myself a much needed £50. Cheers, Chris!

Could do man! Will sort something out closer to the time

Very nice price! Turbo smart are good as well. The new Blue coloured one is supposedly better (think thats £50) but for most applications that one there should be fine. Quite tempted myself!

Hmmm tempting, but I'm not sure! I think I'll be going to the Bluewater meet anyways - so would make more sense to go to this RR!!! Aaahh can't decide!! ;)

Hmmm....this is £35 for 3 runs & printouts...but I'll be doing it with Corsa redtops and c20let's ;) Hmmm...dunno! Where abouts in Bluewater is it??

GT Art in Falmer, next to Sussex Uni? If so, I live about 10 mins from there! We should have a mini-meet! Infact, I'm going there on 9th Feb to do a power run! Nice result there mate, must be a beast!

hey sup, yeah man defo! went down madeira on monday last week with sussexjapclub! Shud have my FMIC by then...

Well if you keep the standard TMIC once you've done your conversion and also keep the sr bonnet the intercooler will be getting no forced air and I imagine will get *very* hot. Heat soak is an issue with a top mount simply due to the fact that the cooler sits ontop of the engine, which means it gets hot if not on the move (with air being rammed through the scoop). Your best bet would be to get a proper FMIC rather than trying to adapt the std. TM to be a FM. If you plan on going through the trouble of making up piping that will allow the TM to be placed behind the bumper, why not just get a universal FMIC off of eBay for £70ish?

What a bitch

No worries! At the time I thought I'd be safe re-locating my filter because of my actuator- hell no! So my only soltuion was put the EFI pipe back on and ditch the front bumper air filter, and go back to standard!

Even with a HKS actuator, you will still hit fuel cut like mad. And I know from experience; mine was set at 10psi but when I relocated my air filter to behind my bumper nothing would stop me hitting fuel cut. I pretty much unwound my actuator to as long as it would go- still didn't stop it! Too much air coming in! Jay over at TGTT had a good idea though, just introduce some back pressure into your exhaust system. So where theres 2 sections joining, add a piece of metal with a smaller diameter hole than the bore of the exhaust; this will increase back pressure and should help limit boost creep, plus it only takes a few mins if you have the right stuff. Failing that, try wrapping 1/4 of your air filter in tape (to limit the air intake). But I tried this and even with 3/4 of the filter wrapped it would still hit fuel cut 'because the filter was just getting ridiculous amounts of air being right behind the bumper!

Spring compressors. Compress the spring while its still on the shock, once compressed enough, remove the top mount, compress the new spring, put it on and work backwards. Easy job tbh mate! Can be a bitch to take the top mount off if you don't have the right tools!

Cool brush set! Looks nice!
