Steve GT Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 ***UPDATE TIME***heres todays update....well got cracked on with fitting and wiring the gauges up today. after yesterdays mad cable tidy up that was all undone in 5 mins.Look at this mess Got all the pipes and cables in as well as the gauges in the podMounted on the A-PillarAnd finially tiger sealed and held on with a shed load of tape and various brooms around the house Job done il get a night time pic up later on with the lights working tooWell as i had plenty of time to spare it was time to fit the MM filter relocation kit.This wasnt exactly a perfect fit as the flexible black pipe was squasged between the power steering pump and the oil filter so needed some modifying which involved me, socks and a a junior hacksaw took about 2-3cm off the end of it and it went in perfectly thenEnd resultLooks much better. so glad to get rid of that gay EFI pipe and also the sock air filter haha. now all i need to do is fuk the top mount off and it will look a lot tidier then works going to stop now for a few days as im waiting to get paid (Friday) and also got 3 12 hour nights followed by 3 12 hour days to do. but while im working going to get a lot ordered then work can continue next week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 well I've just taken her out to test the boost gauge lights are working fine etcas it was dark and not many poeple about i took her for a blast up the carriage way...she was boosting at .45 bar on full boost.....normal youre probably thinking except i was on HI boost. put low boost and exactly the same. im thinking this has had an uprated actuator on it before and the hi/low boost has been de-activated then when someones put it back to standard they havn't corrected it. either that or im leaking some boost somwhere but it doesnt feel like it she seems to be boosting rather strongahhh well good excuse for a HKS actuator now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 all looks great dude!!! top work!!!!!! keep at it!if i lived near by i'd be round helpin!!!keep the updates rollin man!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Well this aint the worlds biggest update but hey an updates an updatebored out of my brains now waiting to get paid and get cracked on with this. 2 days seems such a long way away so i got the old strut brace out of the back room and decided to get it primered up ready to sprayThe plan for this is to try find a similar colour to the roose motosport blue hoses that im planning on putting into the engine bay in a week or so. and the good thing is if it doesnt look right then i can always put the black one i have on now back in.does anybody know what paint colour these hoses are there pretty much the same clour as the samco hoses in blue?Also my log book came through the post this morning which i was really suprised about as its only been 2 weeks since i bought the car lol normally its like 6 weeks. but im happy to oficially be the owner of it now Plans in the next week or so is:Ordering the management on friday just spoke to the guy today whos selling it but im keeping quiet about it for now as its uber sexual....to me anyway lolthen its going to be a JPerformance FMIC to fill the whole in the front of the bumper. after that the engine bays getting sexed up with a painted rocker cover, blue magnecore leads then a full set of blue hoses everywehere under the bonnet. Cant wait Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 cheers dean and i know its robbing me blind lol but its worth it. i think the plug and play ecu's are awesome they make such a difference to the car. but once i get all the big stuff ordered and out the way i can start ordering the cheaper stuff and really cracking on with the build in a few months time lol@lewis- yeah i know what thats like. my black gt had an alarm in it you dont realise how much wirings involved for one of them lol think it might be worth getting an alarm installed eventually, dont want no pikies getting there hands on my poor girl lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
