awesome! she didnt include a picture of mine tho, i'm hurt, she doesnt like my car.......hehehehehe really cool man! give her a high five from me for that! Phil.

^^^^agreed!!!! sleepers are awesome! Phil.

TOUCHE! lol! Phil.

no idea man. i'm sure Geo would know better tho. reliability > bling and huge figures all day! lol Phil.

awesome. about the brake light....no, its not meant to do that, its only meant to be a brake light. i'm not sure what MOT will say about a side/running light that high up.....hmmmmmmmmmmmm...looks funky tho! Phil.

hahah woohooooo i didnt get the technical shit wrong! tbh, i'm happy with how she performs right now. the ONLY thing i would want to improve right now, is for her to HOLD 0.9bar solid as a rock, totally stable, thats the only thing i'd change. she takes a few moments to really start to pick up, but once she passes about 0.65bar or so, i.e. when she really starts to get into her stride, she pulls really well, enough to have pissed off some arsewipes in bigger cars who only use their front windscreens, NOT their mirrors. I use the car to run in and out of work, about 60/65% motorway cruising at 75/80mph. i dont get that much chance to open the taps of third gear too often, and i havnt had a bulb in a corsa have a go yet which upsets me. The point is, for what i want her for, she is fine the way she is. i have no real plans to go after bigger horse power figures in the immediate future. If we could get her to hold 0.9bar solidly, i'd leave her be, save for perhaps porting the exhaust mani. i have no plans to go changing turbos, and if i do, it wont be TD04 for one reason - the blitz decat and the stock mani are cast iron, it will take an atomic bomb to kill them, i.e. they are as reliable as its ever gonna get, and reliability with some nice grunt is the aim of this. ergo, if the turbo calves on me in due course, my prefered option will be a straight swap CT9 hybrid, thereby allowing the use of the blitz decat and the (maybe ported) stock mani. maybe not the most adventurous of approaches, but i just want her to be bullet proof, thats all, with some grin-inducing, BMW/Audi-upsetting grunt that wont spit a rod or kill a gasket when i put the foot down in 3rd and 4th. Simple really. also - received another couple of gauge mounts today, one for the EGT, and i ordered a spare incase Riko picks up a bargain. Phil.

hott. fact. Phil.

yes. there is. because the stock air box rocks. i have discussed this at length with Jay. The research indicates that the stock air box with an uprated panel filter is by far the best option in terms of induction. For a start, the factory will have done their own research, so it is unlikely that is of a shit design. Keeping an uprated panel in the stock air box also removes the problem of heat soak to an exposed cone. There is also no chance of boost creep or fuel cut from an uprated panel that u often get with a cone sticking out the front of the bumper. basically, the factory will have done their own research, and we decided to optimise this work rather than ripping it out for the sake of a shiny cone that would only lead to more problems. Im not very technically minded, so i'm hoping that jay will weigh in here pretty soon to back up what i have typed, esp if i have got something wrong above. i asked him about a relocation kit recently and he almost threw a spanner at me, so stock air box with improved panel is the way to go. there is a web article that reviewed all the major cone filters etc, i'll hunt it out later, or a search on here will find it, and u'd be surprised how poorly the likes of the HKS mushroom filter performed. hope that explains a little dude. Phil.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmkay! Phil.

I cannot discuss that in public. if i told u i'd have to kill u. All u need to know is, Paul is the Laser Man of EP Awesomeness. Also, link to pics of Paul's sexy Glanza - in which he also has a hott blonde, the ONLY way to improve on a Glanza! Pics Phil.

lul lasers is what we call it here yes. not too sure that Paul's Mrs approves, but meh, EP Laser Love is where its at here in NI! Phil.
