Set on medium and has transformed how the car handles, it used to fell like you were draging the rear end around, now it feels like its actually part of the car.And I've started on the interior. Satin black door cards.yes I have sprayed the fabricInduction Kit and Sprayed Rocker Conver3G disks and Green Stuff PadsPaseo DialsGlanza S InjectorsInjected!It was quite simple to do if not a bit dangerous with a warm engine the first attempt went a bit wrong, No. 2 was leaking but manage to fix that by adjusting it and tightening it up propperly After resetting the ECU, I started her up again she now revs at 1100 constant (Good or bad I don't know...) The main differences I noticed apart from the colour were that they are slightly skinnier and instead of 2 holes there are 4 slightly smaller holes in the tip.Anyway heres some Pics.OldNewTook her for a wee spin and she definatly feels like it pulls better in 4th but can't be shore as I have nothing to match it against at the moment. May need another Dyno.Heres a Vid 1st gear pull, Its quite badly shot. Badly Shot VidMore to come... ;) Quote
Sparky Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Looks a nice base mate Some nice fat rims would make it looks so much better Hard being a student though and not earning so much money though 21K thats pretty low mileageAll the best with her Quote

Rich Posted September 19, 2007 Author Posted September 19, 2007 Well I havn't updated in a while so thought I might aswell do it now as I got nothing else to do (except looking for jobs )Anyway I resprayed my interior bits white... YAY!Then got myself a rolla manifold, this thing is definatly worth the 50 notes i payed.Sorry bout the crappy photos dodgy £40 camera Quote
SiCaln Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 cleaned up the interior nicely mate, that rolla mani's a lifesafer isnt it Quote
Rich Posted September 19, 2007 Author Posted September 19, 2007 Yeah now i just need to sort out the cold air pipe going to my filter which is now located behind the battery. I don't see how the origional air feed works, its covered by the bonnet.Then that will be it on performance till I can get rid of them pram wheels and get some handling mods done. Quote
Idrees Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Nice oneWill look sweet on White 15s! Quote
shelly_star Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 oh yes agreed with Idrees, white on white is lush Quote
SiCaln Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 gotta agree there unless your in a mainstream pop/rock group Quote
Rich Posted September 19, 2007 Author Posted September 19, 2007 Yup was either thinking of white speedlines or rotasThese ones: Clicky Quote
Sparky Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Did someone say white on white? I would say go for speedlines to be different and white JSPL's are on a white Sportif on UKSC so be different Quote
Idrees Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Nope Sparky its been done before, J18RSA has them and they look awesome. White Grids on that would be most sexual! Quote
Sparky Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Nope Sparky its been done before, J18RSA has them and they look awesome. White Grids on that would be most sexual!Yea I know Idrees thats why I said get speedlines to be different Quote
Nick_p Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Looking good dude keep up the good work, and as said before white on white will look awesome Quote
Idrees Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Yea I know Idrees thats why I said get speedlines to be different Oh lol silly me, I misread it! Quote
Sparky Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Oh lol silly me, I misread it! Read it before you reply Quote
Rich Posted September 19, 2007 Author Posted September 19, 2007 Its a JR one, it was off my mates astra sport, cleaned it up put some K&N oil on it works great pluss its tucked round the back of the battery so its away from the engine only prob is the gearbox, so I got a sheet of aluminium and raped it round the bottom and on top, the front of it is open so their is still air getting onto that and its not raped round tight. Should really get a pic.Works quite nicely I think. Going to adjust the cold air feed so its near the front bumper, theres an oval shaped whole near the radiator which I think it might fit in if I cut it down a bit. Quote
