Guest Enzo Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 @ mel yea its an auto and im loving every minuite of driving it iwth the new set up,was on the highland hoon this wknd which was a perfect test for the car!here are a few pics of some of the mods nothing excitingmy own anti lift/castor kit with proper ofset bushes.was hoping for my 98 bumper to arive but it did no so scameed a fre airdam and fitted this on friday!got some red hamerite an decided to respray the arband a couple from the highland hoonthis wknd was a great test for the car, il just say nothing embarased me and the car performed admirably from the start and the handling was sublime, most noticable moment was chasing down a skyline and elise carving though those mountans hovering near speed cut for a solid ten minuites!i still need to take a picture of that snug bucket seat but that involves cleaning the cabin though lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 ok this ep has been getting some heavy amounts of luv and surgery by yours truely in the past 4 months, so just a wee updateended up going abit crazy on it after jae and the parts are still flying on, the bars have moved and im still intent on running a bar but the manual way,so whats happened fitted a gt spec hybridfitted an uprated manifoldfitted a generic big intercoooler removed the dump valve (chatter is full of win)because im running a standard exhaust all passengers can here the wooshing/whistling noises + chatter from the turbo, its soo nice and the extra torque from removing some of the restrictins mean im chewing up less fual but its still too muchso bought a na donor car fully working for a couple of hundred with the intention of converting the v to manual, the reason being is im finding it very hard to get over 200 miles to a tank, and as i do so many miles 40 od thousand a year its sapping my finances, got some braded brake lines, greenstuf pads and a brandnew clutch from dave b last week between me and my mates we killed that donor car, finaly turning the colapsed cat into a flame thrower ive got the box off and heater matrix out, and ive sent the box away to my local gearbox specailist along with my six speed so they can mate the bellhousing onto it,ive got the pedals across alsoso when i get back from my holidays in the newyear i then have the mamoth task of taking the dash out to get at the matrixjames aka Nippon R will be doing the rest of the auto to manual swap for methe final piece of the jigsaw is a jam ecu i purchased off of mikeN which will be waiting for me when i get backthen thats it for the silver v, il have six speeds, 1.1 bar of boost with brakes and suspension mods sorted,so much for being a budget build,lol il get some pics fired up when i get back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 all these plans sound awesome... but a bit much for a motor racking 40k a year dont you think? :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Awsome update gonna be a wee beast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 all these plans sound awesome... but a bit much for a motor racking 40k a year dont you think? :/been looking into how i can save economey as im chewing the same amount of fual as a scooby turbo, low 200's to a tank driving sensibly with fual in mind is a jokeeven looked into how to drive in the most economical way on some of these u.s car eco forums and the best way of saving petrol is coasting, with gradual bursts of aceleration to maintain an average speed and to do that properly i need to to drive a manual,i did a few trips down south recently in the red v to test out some of these methods and i can easily get over 300+ miles to a tank(id be happy with that) using some of the tips and driving techniques availablee to save fual, (theres a guy on this us forum that can get 62 miles to the gallon from his 5efe paseo )so weight up all my options and sweayed heavily to getting an Ibiza sport diesel and chipping it, but the ep ticked too many good boxes, cheap tax, familiarity with the mechanicals and good general reliability over the Seat + the way it handles and i enjoy driving it alot it as it holds the road so well now.even thought about selling it and buying a manual v but with the matrix away and it being an auto i would not have got much for it so decided on this route as this six speed had been lying here on a pallet since 2003, theres the added bonus of being able to run 17s as it returns the gearing back to stock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 £35 almost fills the Paseo tank - and it can usually last about 200 miles around town, they are averaged at 45mpg i think.anywhos good luck with the manual conversion, so far as ive heard, its not as easy as it looks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Someone got 62mpg from a Paseo.....wowBest I acheived in either of mine was 44mpg (actually worked it out) with mixed town and motorway driving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
