Amjad Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Looks class! Loving that front end! ;)Nice one on the mani who ported it? I wanna port and heat wrap mine now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks Amjad ;) and got it off someone on here, forgot there name but when i removed the standard mani i couldnt believe how restrictive they were! theres like a ring inside each port, really fat which blocks the flow, will be able to port my current one if you fancy that for the ease of swapping it? i chopped the mounts etc off as well, really improved it!And yes on the heat wrapping! get it done Next mod is paint the horn and radiator mounts etc black, for the steath look:)TT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Did you do the porting yourself? I know what you mean, the turbo ones are that bad too with restriction!Hmm maybe, I think I can get mine ported cheaper than you'll want for yours lolYeah I was gonna say the brackets need to go black ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Some awesome updates there mate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Amjad, it came ported dude, but tbf will be a piece of piss to do yourself, just need it matching to the engine, easy enough! only hassle is the bolts WILL be a bitch to get off, i had the car jacked up, and a metre long power bar to crack the bottom nuts off, if something breaks it would be a nightmare! as long as you have time to take it off, port it, then fit it all with the possibility of it breaking then will be sorted Liam, thanks matey. really loving it now, adore the wheels on it and now i have tested it in the dry ohh my god!!! think i need an antiroll bar lolTT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Loving the front end of this now.. I so want to rob that lip ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 @LukeSR, thanks dude! and lol i will keep an eye out for one dude!Oh, i also butchered a JD Tuning toweye to fit the N/A bumper perfectly, now fitted alongside the brackets etc painted black ;) TT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Update, My tacho is now in, and the main thing is i have fitted refurbed GTturbo/Glanza front brake calipers, EBC Greenstuffs and new discs on the front. = Much more progressive braking, less overheating, looks good Also just serviced it again, thats 3 services in 8000miles lol. this time i went from semi 10w40 to fully syn 5w40, and the car runs smoother, less noise etc, and the oils still golden and it hasnt drank a drop in nearly a 1000miles! Heres a few SHITE picturesThere you go:)TT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Looks very smart, especially the front end. A rear spoiler would work a treat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
