Amjad Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 New parts look great! I've thought of replacing my FMIC pipes with pink ones but my pink intake pipe has faded over time I don't suppose you'd be interested in a 4pt Ultra Racing lower front brace in pink?

Karenasx_ Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Massive updated needed! I apologise, don't know where to begin with this one! Haha So.... After getting the car on the road had a few teething problems which was to be expected! Sorted overheating problem by routing a straight live wire from the radiator fan to the battery(connecting to a switch on dash), then a vacuum leak but that was least of my worries. I got the interior all sorted and generally super proud of how the car had came to together, absolute head tuner at meets and in town. Untill a meet last night.. While driving home, approaching a roundabout she just completely gave up with life and cut out, sparks out the exhaust.. And then there it was my worst fear the most painful noise I've ever came across in my life.... Bottom end. So I left the car over night at a near by friends house and basically cried over possible plans all night. Perfect excuse to go forged but I simply cannot afford that at the moment in time, not being prepared to sell the car yet especially for pennies, I rang my best bet and now got a plan to keep her on the road for a reasonable price! Just going to be off the road for a little while, Again!!! ????But picking up an n/a engine up tomorrow and changing the head gasket, valve springs..._________On the plus side it's means my new turbo isn't going to waste and can still go on in the new year! ... Well after Santa has brought me all my supporting mods ????Vf28 yo ???? ____________I promise to keep updating on the new progress! And once she's alive I can start saving back up to sort the exterior out! (Few snaps of what I got of her while she was a live in the last month) _____________ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Like the turbo choice! VF28 are a bit on the laggy side even being BB but they pull like fuck around 4.5k (depending on setup) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karenasx_ Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Like the turbo choice! VF28 are a bit on the laggy side even being BB but they pull like fuck around 4.5k (depending on setup) It's alright for nothing ???? Brother has a wrx Sti, and he's just spent £800 on a Sc42, so I was suppose to get his vf35 but for the size on my engine it made more sense to get the vf28 for quicker spool. So my new turbo comes from a Subaru p1 and like I said before Santa is bringing me all supporting mods for the turbo upgrade ???????????? (Brother's Subaru)????????????????????????

daniel_g Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It would be a tough choice between the 28 and the 35. Just depends what you want from the car? And cant complain getting it for free! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Karenasx_ Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hi! Can't believe how long it's been since I've updated this. So not much has happened. Picked up some genuine Toms skirts and bumper and a forged engine, along with a few other goodies. The engine was bought with a missfire under hard acceleration. (Going to get it striped down and check it out in the warmer weather) hoping it's a simple fix.And now I'm Just after livesport rear lip and perhaps spoiler, and my car is booked in for her respray in March just before The fast show at pod in April !
