pacman Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) I've owned this advance for around 10 weeks, me and a mate flew to Aberdeen to buy it then drove the 500-odd miles home...This is how it was when I bought it:.She came fitted with a custom manifold/screamer/side exit which I didn't really like so I ended up getting a Zisco mani/downpipe/exhaust combo. This means the turbo is held at a slightly different angle and the wastegate is now on the other side so I had to revise the filter set-up as there was no room. Also fitted some indiglo dials as the grey looked tired and outdated, and the blue glow matches my other gauges. Oh, I had an alarm fitted too...Engine bay now:It's currently putting out 202bhp@fly although it's running way too rich so the next step is a remap.Spec list is as follows:EngineZisco ewg manifold/downpipe and 2.5" systemTD04lFMICHKS BOVAlloy radiator w/ silicone hosesUniversal mushroom filterMocal oil coolerNology Hotwire leadsIridium plugs'Race spec' cam cover w/ TD catch canApexi AVCR set @ 1bar370cc injectorsDastek UnichipSARD fuel pressure regulatorChassis/Wheels15" Enkei RS wrapped in Bridgestone RE050A'sKYB shocks/springs (40mm drop)Half roll cageRear strut braceWhiteline anti-roll barAnti-lift kitPoly bushes all roundStandard advance LSD gearbox w/ paddle clutchEBC grooved discs w/ greenstuff pads and braided linesInteriorCobra recliners on custom rails w/ Schroth 4-point harnessesBoost, oil pressure and oil temp gaugesIndiglo dials (painted the needles red as they looked crap white)Battery re-located to bootI think that's about it although there could be stuff I've forgotten.As I said, the next step is getting her remapped as the afr is currently way off. Wanna get her weighed too, just out of curiosity really.Watch this space... Edited December 8, 2012 by pacman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pacman Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 The only 'performance' mods are a different backbox and filter. I have a few goodies waiting to go on though; toms ecu, st205 chargecooler and a decat. I had it dyno'd the day after I bought it. It's running 215hp which is a 5hp drop from factory output, not bad after 23 years eh. Again, this one is running way too rich after the previous owner swapped the factory rev 1 430cc injectors for rev 3 540cc's. What is it with people thinking dropping bigger injectors in without a remap does the engine good?! Here's the cousins together: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm 27, driving for 9 years with 7 years ncd, allMods declared on the gt was ~£440 tpft, mr2 is ~£190 per year more. Both policies are based on 6k miles with cat 1 alarms fitted.
