Liam_D Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Looks like a good base mate! Looking forward to seeing what you do to it! Quote
Dickydan Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 Yeah me too lol! God knows what ill end up doing to it! Quote
dan106 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Lovely clean base! And it comes without sidestrips? Ive got the rolla mani on mine, you can really feel the pull at 3.5/4k a definately worth doing mod! Got many plans? Quote
Dickydan Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 Yeah come without bump strips mate and yeah rolla mani sounds good to me and in the end itll be a v mate well a v rep with gt lump and v turbo Quote
PaulStarletSR Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 with a gt lump and v turbo? the only difference in gt and v engines is the slightly earlier gt lumps had slight thicker rods, turbos are the same Quote
morgey Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 There is a slight differenceCt9a vs ct9b (98 spec)Whether it would be noticeable is hard to call Quote
ryan lang Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 yeah the models are different, wether they make any difference is a mystery. be nice to see if some one can get hold of each and test them Quote
PaulStarletSR Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 u no what i mean, dont split hairs Quote
ryan lang Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 im agreeing with both of you just saying there are 2 diff models, but there are no proven differences Quote
Dickydan Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 I know about the con rods bein thicker in early gt lumps and i heard the ct9b ( late model ) is slightly more stronger? Not boost wise i ment like slightly harder to break but hey im not the expert here!! Just what i gathered forthe 2-3 years i been in here just snooping when my bro had his gt Quote
morgey Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I thought the vains or what ever where of a slightly different design to help with the spooling up slightly, help get the V's up to speed. Again might just be something I've read but has no back bone to? LolJust googled it, B has 9 blades A has 8 on exhuast and the compressor side B has tightly spaced blades, like 4 sets of 2 and A has widely spaced blades more like 8 individual blades.Not sure what effect this would have though? Lol Edited January 24, 2013 by morgey Quote
ryan lang Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 no clue, ive got a ct9b (with a massive waste gate crack) if any one wishes to repair and test it against a ct9a? lol. also have a hybrid ct9b Quote
Dickydan Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah thats what i thought morgey but i heard also last longer ?? I dno but i heard the ct9b is very very slightly betterthan a ct9a Quote
Ryan5793 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 looks a tidy base to start with, look forward to see what ya do with it Quote
Dickydan Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah wil deffo be gettin a rolla mani and glanza v passenger rear light Quote
Amjad Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Looks clean man, nice to see the ugly bumpstrips are readily gone! Give it a polish and wax, it'll come up really nicely! First thing I'd do is get some GT/Glanza front discs and caliper carriers (calipers are same as NA), it's a really good upgrade for the brakes, the NA stock items are CRAP Rear Anti-Roll bar, strut braces, good alloys.tyres and you have a fun little car. Get the braking and handling safe as it's a big weak point on the NAs IMO I know about the con rods bein thicker in early gt lumps and i heard the ct9b ( late model ) is slightly more stronger? Not boost wise i ment like slightly harder to break but hey im not the expert here!! Just what i gathered forthe 2-3 years i been in here just snooping when my bro had his gtThe Glanza and (I think MK3 GTs) had thinner rods, but I read on TGTT that they were made of a different material to give them the same strength as the MK1 thicker rods Quote
Dickydan Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 Ahh right my bro had a mk 1 gt teah deffo be gettin gt discs and carriers mate... anyone upgrading their discs soon? I dont mind taking hand me downs lmao! Aslong as they aint too worn! Quote
Amjad Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I'm using the ones that came on my GT, stock discs with Greenstuff pads I was using in the NA before and they're so much better than before. Even good conditionn used ones will be okay and shouldn't cost a lot Quote
Dickydan Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 Just got it home i put £15 in it and it went up o the first notch above empty?!?! Drove 44 miles not giving it up only little tiny burst nw nd then and its in empty?!?!? Gauge fucked? Quote
Taggy Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 yeah i would say so the NA's should do a million miles a gallon Quote
PaulStarletSR Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 have you left it parked at an angle to the right hand side? if so, park it flat and your gauge will sort itself out Quote
Dickydan Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 Naa its parked straight mate and it was like it when i was driving :/ Quote
Amjad Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Check your tyre pressure, oil level I get 300 to a tank (100 from indicated half to near empty) Quote
