philpott Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Apexi exhaust is the one mate, loved mine but they do tend to rot so just keep an eye on it With the mods mentioned above you will want an adjustable actuator too, you will be getting fuel cut otherwise, the next step then is a decent boost controller and a piggy pack to remove the fuel cut or an aftermarket plug and play ecu.Dont get a Fuel cut defender, I wouldnt go near one even with a FPR and decent set up, you get more gains from the ECU obviously.Very nice V by the way, enjoy cheers bud yeh sounds perfect but knocks like fuck in reverse sometimes and under throttle when you let off sometimes smacks against something..what will i do with the actuator set it at 0.8bar so it doesnt raise to fuel cut? lol sorry still getting used to all this. wheres best place to get a piggy back ecu? Thanks for the advice. little update...Still need to get some photos up but i want to clean it up good first alot of tough black stuff in all the hard to get to places. t cut seems to be doing the job though.rear seats/parcel shelf/spare tyre have been removed.Blitz plugsmagnecor leadsdizzy cap and rotor armoil filter and oil changeall on order.Been speaking to a mate who is going to sell me his cobra buckets aswell in very good nick for £100 Just needa find something to bolt them down with now!

philpott Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 UPDATE..in the process of fitting my cj intercooler engine and bay need a clean what do you guys think is best way of doing it? dont want to jet wash it because will get moisture in plugs.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Jetwash it, cover up the important bits and give it a good blast over. I've done it to a lot of my cars and only had a problem once where one of the sensors on the bulkhead got water in it, only took a few minutes to clean it out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philpott Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Cheers guys, there was a wee bit of bumper cutting but in places you wont see the core got mounted really far back nearly behind the top crash bar and my old man bought home some curved brackets to mount it up properly. still took 5 attempts to get the bumper back on! loljust want to know now if lowish rev chatter is okay or not??
