Galliano Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 that exhaust sits so nicely in the rear lip, almost flush, im inlove with it! Quote
keirz Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 decided to tidy up my intake side of things, so swaped my home made filter relocation for a monster motorsport one. thanks to mike @ monster motorsport, always a pleasure doing buisness with him. and also got rid of my old filter for a much nicer oneapexi chrome edition. will get pictures when its fitted tommorow.kinda slow at the minute on mods, trying to save for a house so limiting my spending whilst trying to get the project finished. really happy with the car at the minute though.new hybrid has finished the planning stage, i know exactly what parts i will be using, its pretty extreme, only problem is that i feel that the turbo is going to put out more power than a stock engine will like. so not sure whether to go ahead with the build, as it may ultimately kill the engine.

Dean @RW-Developments Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 thats gonna look awsome in the bay didnt realise apexi even did a crome one only ever sin the black ones, should see some gains too Quote
Galliano Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 nice filter im really loving this motor Quote
Glanza_cl Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 i would produce the turbo but simply limit it to say 220-240max! on standard internals, was going to be me a MM relocation kit but ordered a toytuning before they came out. Quote
joe-ep91 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Lovin' the filter mate. Lookin forward to another update. Silver V's for the win Quote
starlybruiser Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 filter looks great man, i didnt know they done a chrome one either, llooks pucker mate Quote
SiCaln Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 thats gna be so pro man, looks awesome, dont they normally have a black top to them!?looks much better and Mike is a legend Quote
keirz Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 thanks lads, put the filter on today and the diference is unbeleivable. the old filter must have been really strangling my turbo, tbh it was 5 years old, manky as fuck and a cheapo one!, i honestly cant beleive the difference from only a better filter. will see if there is any extra bhp on the 14th when its back on the rollers. if not any power definatly a drop in spool up time.yeah mike is a good lad and only lives 15 minutes from me so it makes doing buisness much easier. and yeah they are usually black, but the seller i got it off had two limited edition chrome ones so i thought for an extra few £££ i would get this one. also recieved and fitted my "carbon" dial surround thanks to idrees, top job mate much appreciated, will get pics when its light, looks lush.

MikeGlanzaV Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Awesome work matey - looking forward to seeing it in the flesh! by the way make the turbo as extreme as poss - I know a car we can test it to the max on Mike Quote
keirz Posted November 27, 2008 Author Posted November 27, 2008 sorry for the crap pics my brother still has my fecking camara!mike its a plan that we could well consider, i really have no idea if its gonna work as with such a big compressor the boost could be hard to control, could possibly need to be externaly gated. but i may just try it and see what happens! Quote
Sparky Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Looks spot on mate how much was the kit?? Quote
keirz Posted November 29, 2008 Author Posted November 29, 2008 the relocation kit i got from mike, but without the filter he supplies. you will have to pm him for a price on that as i think the price i got may have been at mates rates if you get my drift! i have a stainless bend spare that when combined with a stock tmic silicone bend makes a perfect relocation kit. may put it up in the for sale section. the apexi was £65 and that included the adapter kit which is usually around £15. its more than i wanted to pay for a filter but i feel it was worth it. Quote
keirz Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 a bit of new suspension action, RSR springs and kyb sr specials, they are second hand but the price ive paid for them they are worth a go and they seem to be in good condition. i know they ran well on the car they came off. also fitted the tc short shifter, not a bad bit of kit really. worth the money, fitting was a bit of a bitch but nothing major. no pictures as it doesnt look any different!

Glanza_cl Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 looks super nice! they will make a healthy difference in handeling. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 super tasty mods as per your usual standard Mr K!looks great, one of my favourite projects because its just so damn clean! keep up the good work, be sure to let us know wot u think of your new suspension once its in!Phil. Quote
Idrees Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Nice one mate, I've just got some of those shocks and they are good. On that last pic though, looks like the springs needs to be turned to the left. Quote
keirz Posted January 12, 2009 Author Posted January 12, 2009 cheers, im looking forward to getting these on now and seeing if there is much improvement over my cobra springs and stock shocks. i would have thought a big difference but time will tell.where did you get the shocks from idress? were they second hand too? Quote
Idrees Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Yes mate second hand. They came off my bros car because he took the Konis off the breaker we have. He originally bought the two rears from a breaker in Bradford and the front two came off a breaker my cousin had! Quote
SiCaln Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 awesome setup IMO mate, i have the TRD version Quote
keirz Posted January 12, 2009 Author Posted January 12, 2009 ah cool. i got what you see above for what i feel is silly cheap so if they are as good as what people say they are i will be a happy boy!just realised ive not put my dyno pictures in my thread so here they areneed to get back on the dyno for another run now ive got the better intake and turned the boost up a little Quote
AaronW Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 glanza looks very nice, great choice mods and so so clean.what did it make on the rollers? Quote
MikeGlanzaV Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Good stuff mate - hope they are an improvement for you! Don't go on the dyno without me! I still want mine done again!!!!!!!!Mike Quote
Liam_D Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Same here!! I will be joining the dyno crew with mine now aswell, I no there aint much point but it'll be a laugh. Quote
