mikey4410 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 cheers mate.tiz wicked as it surprises people the wheels i would only ever respray in the same colour as that is the closet i would get to the original wheels. the bumper i aint to worried about as i concentrate mostly on mechanical upkeep,cosmetically i think it "fits" the cars style. and no lol the kids sign is to add to the car being what it is.

Gainzy Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Emanage set up will give you that 40hp extra or there abouts but still a good result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 ^^ agreed, it completely changes the car. Faster spool time, general throttle response with ultimate power and torque greatly increased. Not forgetting better mpg.you got everything you need for emanage, so just do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) car issues and lack of power resolved .........turns out inlet cam was out a tooth and inlet opened late and shut late making me lose power.CHECKED ALL THE TIMING POINTS AND ALL ARE SPOT ON AND PERFECT. compression check went from 150psi up to 170 psi over all four and car feels soooo much betterBECUASE OF THE INLET CAM ADJUSTMENT I RECHECKED AFRS AND THEY HAVE GONE FROM 11.0 WOT IN 3RD TO 11.3 SO THERES DEFINATLEY BEEN A SMALL CHANGE WHAT WITH EXTRA AIR BEING MADE BECUASE OF CORRECT COMBUSTION.
