BAZ2CRAZY Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Mini update really.So, ive began the manifold repairs by firstly removing... everything.Ive still got A/C and P/S... so you can imagine how much of a swearing ball ache it was.I thought i was the fucking DON when i removed the charge pipe... what a piss take.. Removing the radiator is a must!Any way, once the charge pipe was removed, the mani un-bolted from the turbo pleasently well. Along with the mani from the head. Also, it was a bit of a ball ache removing the mani with the turbo oil feed in place (un-bolted). but... can be done!Cracksss;You can see the exhaust sealent coming through the crack..Previous broken brace..Never removed/seen/touched a ct9.... or any turbo for that matter... but laughed at how small it was..Mess...BayMitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MikeGlanzaV Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hi Mitch,Car looks great and some good mods already in the pipe line! The dyno run is a good idea to see where your starting from and to check fueling etc etc.If you are looking for a good quality, simple, mechanical boost gauge we have some Turbosmart 52mm mechanical gauges in stock at £29.95 if you are still looking. If you follow the link below to them on Scoobyworld website you can have a gander!http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/produ...roducts_id=1592CheersMike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Cheers brother!As for the guage, i think il hold out for a while and just bite the bullet and go for a Defi setup. Cheers any way though .Ive also found some new wheels....Update soon-ish.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Updaaaaate.... 11 days untill its on the road... i hope.So, first off. Ive got another set of wheels.. But these ones im keeping ;) SSR Firenze/RF-pro;You may recognize the pattern... Rota copy them,called the 'clubstar'?Next, i found a hair line crack in my mani which in hiensite wasnt really a major issue-tryed to fix it and ended up ruining it.. so. New mani was needed;Pictured, is my new screamer along with hks actuator and a Racetech mani. Can anyone sense a colour scheme? And now ive got to get this bastard back on...Any tips?Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 LOL @ the last pic, EFI pipe is nothing but a cunt....Love the wheels but didnt Rota call them Clubstar's or do you mean the SSR's are called Speed 5's?Nice update, mani looks sweet and love the pink hoses Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Looking good Mitch loveing the colour scheme To get that twat of an EFI pipe back on dont use the silly squeezey clip use a jubilee clip along with abit of WD40 and it should go on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 SSR ones are called RF-pro or firenze i think. Yeah the rotas were clubstars, silly me.Any tips on getting the efi on? i can get the top half on... but then the bottom half gets all fucked up and goes inside the turbo Blah, im just know its going to take me 3 hours screaming, biting my knuckles and just getting stressed to get this on.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
