Addymk2 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Well, it's about time I smashed her up and the progress so far.I picked her up about 2 months ago, traded in my 99 plate ITR DC2 for her.Heres some pics of how she stands for the very short term:(Could do with a good scrub!) (And I didn't notice the misses routing around in her Satria, whoops!)Currently fitted:Meister R Coilovers.Unknown De-Cat and ExhaustOn to the interesting bit, within a month of owning I've ordered:Blitz Access ECU (Arrived this morning from Japan for a MUCH lower price than they sell for over here, inc import tax and delivery costs!)HDI FMIC (Sat in the boot while I wait for my BOV)HKS SSQV Replica (En route from China)NGK Ignition Leads15" Speedline Safari's powdercoated black (Sat at my mums house as the courier was cheaper!)Rear Optional strutPurchasing next month:Zisco Compact ManifoldDepo boost controllerAFR guage of some variety.I'll get more pics in when shes scrubbed up.This afternoon when I get away from my desk I plan to bypass the standard boost solenoid for a bit more poke and plug in the ECU.Jobs a fish!UPDATE 22 DEC 12How she started yesterday with the new speedlines bolted on!How she finished yesterday with a HDI cooler, SSQV and an RW Developments relocated filter :-) Edited December 22, 2012 by Addymk2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Very nice! Looks familiar was the previous owner on here?You'll like the ECU ;)I found I got bad heat soak off the TMIC but when I fitted my FMIC it made a huge difference on my Mine's ECU. Just block off the BOV port for now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 I had a Blitz FMIC on my last V in my sig pic, and a Zep ECU, I also miss the Volk's I had on that! hahaThe previous owner was 206_Wasstarlet power (Guess at the user there!)He sold it to the guy I got it off, the guy I brought her off was a little... Special.I.e:Alright mate, whats been done?'Dunno but its pretty quick'When did you give her a service last?'I dunno how to change the oil mate so I took it to the garage a couple of months ago'true story.
