funny onion

The Evo intercooler looks ace! Lol. Can just make It out through the grill and bumper, such a good fit too. Drives a lot different yeah haha. More boost needed for a bit of excitement I think though

Cheers for the comments. The na rocker cover has the same breathers/pcv valve they're just in different places. I have a spare fte one I'll have to get it sprayed up and swap back over. And yeah, I'm sick to death of dicussing afr with people tbh. Bore wash doesn't exist in the eyes of most people on here who seem to think its an amazing idea to run their standard turbo at standard boost with an afr of 10. I understand the whole concept of it quite well, I've modelled it at uni a few times. But hopefully getting management in September most pr

Not updated this in forever. Fallen out of love with the car a little bit to be honest. Bought some hel braided lines all round off the good man pick 1 (recommend buying off this guy, lovely chap ) they made a huge difference to the feel of the brake pedal, a lot more solid and better response. Arranged a deal to swap my arc top mount for a hdi front mount with andy kelly who lives not far from me. went to take my top mount off and boom, massive crack in the wepr manifold so out of desperation i borrowed sam's td04 kit while mine is off being welded. (i start working very intense shifts next

Turns out my manifold was cracked, badly, so I'm literally in the process of fitting a front mount, sard rrfpr, and a td04 kite ought now as we speak because that's the only spare set up available while it get the wepr welded. I'll be running this at 10-11 probably. Just to be safe

It's cheaper to go td04 than it is to maintain a ct9 setup in my opinion. Probably talking £60-£100 for a td04, and the manifolds and downpipes range in price depending on quality etc. sams toyosports kit cost him about £120 i believe. I'm only doing it because my bloody manifold is in need of a bit of tlc. And once that's welded I'll be giving Sam his td04 kit back (maybe )

Let us know how you get on I'm fitting a front mount, sard rrfpr, and td04 kit tonight to my 82. All because my bloody ct9 Mani has a pretty big crack :/.

Hmm I'll have a word this afternoon then . Everything has gone tits up on my car recently shouldn't be spending money on wheels haha

Do you happen to know who it is breaking a gt up near you? My bloke was after a few bits off that and it would make sense to arrange to do both at the same time maybe, as it is a treck for us to come up (and I do love Whitby!) lol

I could bring you some steelies? ;) haha. I've got some 14" alloys off an old clio and I love how it drives on 14s. My other wheels are 16" inovites with nankang tyres and they're just awful to drive on lol

Once you've drained it it's not a big job at all, a lot of people dont bother recovering the refidgerant first (illegal I know haha). There's a how to guide on here if you have a search

I'm most tempted by the wheels, could probably collect as well, I'm in hull so it is a good 2 hour journey though :/. I have a full set of bran new tyres that would go straight on :lol

Would love these. And I'd live the rear shocks aswel :/ haha

Off topic or not, An interesting read.

I imagine it would be possible, but might need to modify piping. Sounds like a massive pain in the arse to me, life would be a lot easier if you rip the air con out

Mine was stock apart from exhaust and I payed £1200. Needed a few little bits and bobs doing but nothing major at all. Been a dream maintainence wise and parts are cheap and there's plenty breAking. I'm at uni, just finished my 3rd year of a 4 year physics degree

At the end of the day its a fucking nightmare of a minefield trying to set your own Fueling up. I'm just saying what mine prefers to run at. I've tried it lean as hell and rich as fuck (not by choice I might add) and mines happier when it's above 12 on boost. Anything below 12 at it just misfires and splutters (0.8 bar boost). So anybody making shitty "LOL" comments needs to get back. It's not worth arguing about so if you haven't got a constructive input then jog on.

My exhaust is a jperformance, keep up chuck!

No sweetheart it's a uego wideband

Cool, hopefully you'll do a better job than me ;). And as for the rest, agree to disagree mate, my car more or less wont drive when the afr is that rich and I have rolling road printouts to prove it. Mega over the top if you ask me. But whatever.

Haha good luck! Mines been a pain tbh, picking up a sard rising rate reg tomorrow so going to try it with that. Mega pain having to pull over every 200 yards to adjust it lol.

At the end of the day it's what the individual prefers. Mine runs like an absolute sack of shit when it's too rich. Unless you're boosting big you don't need it stupidly rich IMO. Id get a wideband and do it myself if i were you (IM in the process of doing mine). Can't wait to get it mapped as it is so much easier. Have a go and see what you think, Haters gonna hate .

Agree with flaminsam. Richer isn't perfectly safe, it's not as risky as running lean but still. You're always compromising certain aspects when setting up Fueling in a way. Inlet temps on 1.4 bar will be a fair bit higher than for 1 bar hence the richer mixture to drop and maintain an even cylinder temperature. I'll out a pic up of my rolling road graph when my afr was around 11 on full boost, you will Lols

No worries I'll have a ring round and sort it, I'll let you know as soon as I've got a decent price and we can sort out when they come pick it up

Yeah that's cool if you on me your address I'll get some prices. I'm at work today but I'll have a look online when I get in. Do you know of any good companies? I've not got anything this big couriered before lol

i'm wiling to pay if you're willing to ship it down (would be much easier tbf) i'll pm you my address if you like?
