never seen one before.... but looks spot on!

one of me with my new haircut

im pretty sure mine sits over zero... hmmm

its a shame im not as happy with them as you guys are!! yeah, i dont know what to do with the calipers.... was gonna do them silver, but i fancy a dark bronze??

yeah, thats what i keep thinking... but i dont know whether i'll make it thru the winter like this!! im not sure... i'd like some rota gt3's in red or white or some jmag's!!

not too sure... paul w had a drive in it and reconed it was fine... so maybe its just me! but it we both established its overfueling like a sod... cheers buddy, yeah i need more updates! your overtaking me somewhat! cheers buddy. not really, it just smooths everything out... the only way i can describe it is how the rolla mani free's up a n/a, if you know what i mean? power all the way thru the revrange etc. reasonably happy with it... looking forward to getting the mani on, but really want to get ti running right so its not overfueling. i'd be even more happy if i had my old black racings on! o boy i miss them! cheers matey better pics below! im surprise i havent had a challenge scutch0 comment phil! better pics

i need the splitter!

ok guys, the writeup. got cracking on the spigots for the wheels at 12.30pm, oz wanted £50 for a set with nuts... so bollocks to them, i'll make my own thank you very much! the wheels came with spigots to the size of 66.1mm but our starbo's are 54.1mm, so i ordered a set of spigots that were 67mm outer diameter and 54.1mm inner diameter... my intention was to press them inside the oz alloy spigot to create a set of spigots the correct fitment. heres the original spigot. and heres the new 'inner' spigot i had the file out all the crap from where the wheels had been in storage this is what i was faced with the way i got these to fit was to heat the oven slightly and put the alloy outer spigots in until they were quite warm to allow the metal to expand, and while they were getting warm i put the inner spigots in the freezer to cool them down and to make the plastic contract when they were ready i took them into the vice and pressed them in, bit of a pain (small vice) but it all went ok. ready to fit! next was the decat. i had given it a cleanup so it looked nice and shiny (not that it'll stay that way!) but first things first i had to get my old gutted cat out the way. WHAT A PAIN IN THE ARSE considering i had never done this before! i didnt even realise it was bolted to a brace! the worst bit was finding the room to extract most nuts/bolts. but once the new decat was inplace... WHAT A DIFFERENCE! feels much better... exhaust note sounds evil too! anyone using a gutted cat invest in one of these... makes a world of difference! next i got putting the wheels on, noting major here, only problem i had was that the new home made spigots were a tiny bit too small (probably to do with the process) so i used a bit of emery paper to knock them back a bit, and got my new rays nuts on too! the tyre profile is a bit too high theyre a 195/55/r15 but theyre just to get me thru winter, but i defo noticed the difference in the weight and performance... not that im saying these are heavy, because theyre not too bad, its just that the black racings are soo bloody light! im in two minds whether or not to strip down the black racings and do them for winter wheels and buy a nice set for summer... hmmm what do you guys think?? i must agree with you there phil! but i started this at 12.30pm and didnt finish until 6.30pm! so good pics will be on the way tomorrow. cheers mate. they'll be here tomorrow. cheers matey, yeah, i was pretty surprised with the condition of it! i was expecting a nice big crack in the wastegate housing! cheers mate.

winter wheels & decat update ok, spent the whole day fittin the decat and fitting my new winter wheels. heres the progress pictures of the day... removed cat turbo looks in good condition! fitted decat made a big difference. very pleased! wheels fitted i'll do a bit of a writeup later tonight, and some better pics when i get a chance!

heres a few of my v and my old ep91 n/a just delete the ones you dont want in here g.

nah, just slapped them in mate, im not too fussed about matching them, to be honets it a pretty close match to the glanza 98 interior anyway!

ive been in a tubo'd one of these and fark me was it impressive!

1) awesome mate. 2) where the fuck did you get it from? 3) how much did it cost? ive been keeping an eye out for one for a while now!

i have no idea why,but my v only seems to like esso super. tesco/shell/bp are all ok, but it runs best on esso!

got my car from the same place as you! he's an ok guy, but he promised me the 98 front lip, but actually ordered a 96 one, but since did me a few deals. loving your progress mate.

gee, have you got that video of you at doddington overtaking the nsx anywhere where i can veiw it? seen it before but i cant remember where!?

theyre not winter wheels simon! theyre pure sex! you best not let that dirty salt get to them!

i hope so! looking forward to fitting them to see what it drives like! a cheap safc?? does it exist? to be honest mate i dont think i need to do anything to the fueling as its dumping the stuff in! yeah sweet dude, long time no speak. youve got a set of speedies si! save the poor te37's for summer! what winter wheels were you wanting? thanks mate, i need to put the rays nuts on anywho, as ive got no locking nuts that'll fit them! o well, they were meant to be used, so thats what im gonna do! Rich.

winter wheels complete update ok ive finished the winter wheels and theyre ready to put on (not a moment too soon) just waiting on a new set of spigots. with the new nuts placed on also picked up my xmas pressie (which means i have to wait till xmas for it! ) off paul last week, i think i payed a pretty damn good price for the two, but hopefully it should help me pull back a few ponies. road runner mild steel mani separated stainless steel decat cant wait to get the wheels on, but i think im gonna miss the black racing's... but i have a feeling i'll end up refurbing them in the spring!!! blue this time?? what do you guys think. Rich.

yeah well, you loves it i'd prefer real carbon

your funny colored bit of plastic looks good phil! ha ha ha you know you love our convo's

it has been done. i have no idea where to point you tho, sorry.

^ he'd get it.

that three stage system is the shit. i only have to wash mine with water every now and again and it comes up sparkling!

ok mate. thanks for the advice. i think i'll be going to see mr burwash before xmas!
