  1. Trust me get an Anti-Lift kit too, makes cornering in the NA so much fun wit those other bits Nope I think low boost is 0.4bar and high boost is 0.65-0.7ish? Plus the fact that the standard actuators are crap, it's unlikely you'll be even holding stock boost! Seriously when you try and pull the arm of a HKS actuator out, you'll understand why the stock item is a joke lol
  2. Back end looks as good as the front now, nice!
  3. ^What Dan said, and a HKS actuator set at 0.8 Bar (at first anyway) Then Rear ARB, Rear Brace and better brakes so you can have as much fun in the corners as on the straights!
  4. Cue LukEp?
  5. Ooft Wayne you the man! It looks amazing!
  6. As standard? Have you not seen the restriction in the exhaust manifolds?
  7. Get an LSD?
  8. Can't wait to see a TOM's Kit on this Are you doing the MK3 rear end too or just the front?
  9. Gloss black spokes and Kandy red round the outside? MmMmMm

    Hello :)

    Welcome, V looks nice from what I can see!
  11. Lovely work bro! I'm quite fond of the AE101s having had one for my 1st car Awesome ideas tere, especially liking the Civic recess and moulded lip; WINZ! How do the Subaru parts work so well on this car?! lol
  12. x3!
  13. Soldier!
  14. There was an insurance group calculator on Honest John
  15. Ahh no way!!
  16. I like the dark Shadow Chrome you see on Drift car Rotas but that's just me
  17. Lovely looking GT Welcome along
  18. Top man, good on you
  19. If I can't afford to run the GT, my replacement for the N/A will probably be a MK4 GT TDi
  20. Oil temp sounds like a good 'un
  21. Looks awesome man! Loving the lights & nice pics!
  22. I know my N/A likes to drink when I floor it in 1st, so I don't, and haven't in the GT either. It has hit full boost only a few times in 2nd/3rd year, I'm a student so can't afford to piss out fuel lol believe what you will 50 miles to £10 sounds pretty shit to be honest, I remember reading a thread where most of the Turbo owners said they were getting 30mpg+ even on TD04s It that 75 miles to £10 Spark? Or 75km? The thought that it's running rich did cross my mind, my mate's Auto GT smells the same and he's definitely running quite rich (black smoke)! I didn't think it would run rich without a RRFPR though? I thought it would be lean if anything with the ECU alone Yeah that's exactly how I've been testing the car, how I would drive it day to day and I can honestly say that I won't be able to run this car if this is what the consumption will be like from now on I dunno about piston rings, there's no dodgy noises or any smoke whatsoever, the engine seems to be running sweet bar this fuel issue! Thanks dude that's a good idea about the timing, I don't have a timing gun myself but I could get it checked I suppose! I've actually filled up twice to £10 and first time it did about 75km, so it's pretty consistent. I know the car did do around 250 miles to a tank though when we first bought it, but it was completely standard then and in dire need of a service! I know what you're saying, but the fuel gauge doesn't drop when I let it warm up, the idle is not very high and surely it wouldn't be sensible to start driving a GT Turbo from cold??
  23. Surely this isn't right? Just been doing some testing on private land to make sure the car is running ok after it's recent service and it's done 78km to £10 of Tesco 99 Momentum fuel! I thought I should get at least only a bit less than the 80 or so miles my N/A gets on £10 regular unleaded! I'm pretty sure it's KM and not MILES, as the Speedo definitely doesn't read speed in MPH. Is it possible the odometer could be reading in MILES but not the Speedo? Car seems to be running okay, pulls strongly and tires pressures are all fine but I can't figure out what it is Here's the current spec: - Just been serviced with 10w 40 Semi-Synthetic Mobil One oil & Blueprint filter - Brand new Heat Range 7 Iridium Spark Plugs - Ported Manifold & Wastegate - Gutted Catalyst - HKS actuator estimated at 0.7-0.8 Bar (has never hit fuel cut) - AC Removed (Connection bridged for Rad Fan to prevent constant running) - Rad flushed and filled with water/blue coolant mix (I know the car takes Red Coolant, which I've recently received through the post but haven't had time to change) Whenever it's been driven I've let the car properly warm up and cool down, have only hit full boost on a handful of runs; but generally driven at normal cruising speeds 30-40mph, gently accelerating to 3000 rpm eac gear at most so my driving can't be at fault in this sense right? Another thing is the fact that I KNOW the exhaust is blowing somewhere, there seems to be a blow just before the backbox, would this affect economy, even a bit? Also, I can EASILY smell stinky exhaust gases when walking around the car when it's running, however there doesn't seem to be any fuel leaks as far as I've seen.. Could it possibly be the fuel, should I try V-Power or something? Any ideas guys? Amjad
  24. Turkish's old V right? Looks good, welcome to the club
