drewa.d Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Very nice!What do you reckon to thoese Apexo coilovers?Where did you get them from and how much if you dont mind me asking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Very nice!What do you reckon to thoese Apexo coilovers?Where did you get them from and how much if you dont mind me asking?well i am really impressed with the apex coilovers the handling has improved 10 fold plus having the 32 way damp adjustability gives you a lot to tune the setup to your liking, but they are new to the starlet market (well used on Subaru's) and i found that the standard brackets to hold the brake line were slightly out so had to get a bit fabricated onto the end just as on full lock it was stretching the lines and would eventually rip them from the bracket, but it doesn't take much to fabricate a tad bit on the end.i got them off ebay for 480 something.i would recommend them really nice coilovers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pav Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Very Nice G mate. Makes me want coilys so bad now! Keep it up the good work by the way, how did you find taking off the original cat pipe? Was the O2 Sensor a nightmare? I have a Japspeed Decat pipe ready to go onto mine but am hesitant to do it myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a Japspeed Decat pipe ready to go onto mine but am hesitant to do it myself.cheers mate,i got a friend of mine to fit it he works at a local garage, but he did say the lamba sensor was really long and had to kinda bend it into the decat, can't imagine it's to hard just make sure you have new gaskets and mine needed new bottom studs as there were rotten nd fu#kd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_cl Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Right FINALY have got my fmic fitted so here are a few pics of it on, also decided to get on my zep reverse carbon scoop:quick engine pic- it looks like crap at the moment but will sort it out soon:and some different angles of the scoop:need to sort out my bov, nd i am losing some boost at the end of the revs so might have a leak somewhere, not going to do to much for the time being as i have no money, might have a manifold and laguna splitter soon then eventually get an emanage, boost controller and get a nice map done.

What power pushin out ?cheers mate, if you get rid of the air con nd relocate the filter to the front the engine is not to cramped to work on- the actuator wasn't to hard to fit just fiddly but felt better once fitted.got loads i want to do just run out of money , i'm a digital animation student so money doesn't come in, in particularly large amounts lol:mods to be done soon (i hope)going to get air con removed and front locate filter (very soon)get my turbo portedget a manifoldebchope to get an emanage- then get it mapped, it should through out 180bhpthen go hybrid eventually, port polish the head etc, all the little bits and see over 200 at the moment i hope to be running 140-150 mayb, but i suffer quit badly from boost creep so want to get that sorted asap.
