adzy Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 where did you get the red spray paint from and was it easy to do? I used halfords spray paint, first time to use it and have to say it's as good if not better than hycote.Yeh easy to do, I primered it all, then painted the middle red, let it dry, taped it up, then did the ends Quote
kavan-k Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Haha, was surprised no one had said this yet as there isn't that many of them over here. I'll look after her well ;)Out of the 3 I have owned this is my favorite, and the only one still alive unfortunately! Will be keeping a close eye on this thread Quote

kavan-k Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 About 3 year ago lad, and I haven't a clue I never seen one before! Is it still in below the dash? Quote
adzy Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 About 3 year ago lad, and I haven't a clue I never seen one before! Is it still in below the dash?Yeh it's still in there, remote start doesn't work but think I'll stick a battery in the remote and see if it goes. Are you from coleraine by any chance? Quote
kavan-k Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Yeh it's still in there, remote start doesn't work but think I'll stick a battery in the remote and see if it goes. Are you from coleraine by any chanceAye get a battery in and see what happens! Yeah I am indeed, but I had the wee car brought up from the south then i ended up selling to another guy in Coleraine who had it for quite a long time, he did a lot of the work to it pal Quote
adzy Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) got a bit more done now in the past few weeks finally got round to removing the aircon so much space now! got the decat fiitted too, the cat was far heavier than i expected! then i went about getting the front mount intercooler fitted.the brackets that came with it were rubbish so i made up my own and attached them to the cross member with rivnuts intercooler is real solid now, also the size difference i then trimmed the bumper a bit, this is not final, just for now i quite like this one i found on google but i'm still undecided on what way to cut it so your suggestions and input would be appreciated! thanks for looking Edited June 6, 2015 by adzy Quote
Aaronb93 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Good job mate . What make is the intercooler? looks very similar to a Blitz Quote
adzy Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 good work on the intercooler mate thanks! Good job mate . What make is the intercooler? looks very similar to a Blitz its a jperformance one, which is a blitz copy as far as i know Quote
davies700 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 same brand as mine mate, if you get an oem bumper splitter it will hide the intercooler pipes sticking out near the bottom Quote
vizzioarts Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Been quietly watching this. Very very clean. Tasteful upgrades too! Looking forward to progress mate. Quote
adzy Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 same brand as mine mate, if you get an oem bumper splitter it will hide the intercooler pipes sticking out near the bottom Yeh plan to get a lip or splitter on it sometime Quote
adzy Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 Been quietly watching this. Very very clean. Tasteful upgrades too! Looking forward to progress mate.Thanks mate, I think progress could be never ending lol. The funds tend to keep it slow lol Quote
adzy Posted June 12, 2015 Author Posted June 12, 2015 gave the car a service this week, thought i might as well do it before the rolling road day on sat castrol edge oiltoyota oil filterdecided to upgrade to the ngk iridium spark plugsalso fitted my magnetic sump plug which i got from idworkz a while agoand also topped the gear oil up as i have discovered i have a slight leak from one of the driveshaft seals also trimmed the bumper properly this time looks so much better without the plate also need to get a lip/splitter as i think its needed to make the bunmper less naked looking Quote
Aaronb93 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Looking smart dude. Yeah you should get a 98 spec splitter, it will make it look more aggressive not that it isn't aggressive looking already Quote
adzy Posted June 14, 2015 Author Posted June 14, 2015 Great updates man I really really like it Thanks man! Quote
adzy Posted June 14, 2015 Author Posted June 14, 2015 Looking smart dude. Yeah you should get a 98 spec splitter, it will make it look more aggressive not that it isn't aggressive looking already Yeh was thinking of getting one, but I also kinda like the Laguna splitters so will see.Having the intercooler so visible def makes it more aggressive looking!

Aaronb93 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Yeh was thinking of getting one, but I also kinda like the Laguna splitters so will see.Having the intercooler so visible def makes it more aggressive looking!Laguna splitters are impossible to find now all the D turbo guys have them lol I fitted a LCR splitter to my ibiza daily and it looks smart. But that intercooler really dose set it off mate. you notice or feel any difference with a bigger intercooler? Quote

But that intercooler really dose set it off mate. you notice or feel any difference with a bigger intercooler? yeh i know, i had an unvented one on my dturbo lol whats the LCR one? is that leon cupra r? yeh notice a difference allright, bit more lag and i've lost a slight bit of boost pressure but it goes far better, pulls all the way to the red, used to feel like it was dying out with the tmic at high revs. short route hot piping should help to when i get round to getting one made 137 on the dyno yesterday which wasnt too bad for 0.6 bar Quote
