Cheers mate :thumbs:. ATM I'm just gonna have to run stock wheels. But next upgrade is coilovers, wheels and brakes.

 

[JameS15]

looks very nice mate! same as mine except for the front bumper :nod: good spec list to throw straight in aswell! i have 0 items waiting for upgrade at the moment :no:

Anyone got any idea why there seems to be loads of jubilee clips on the cold pipe of the intercooler going into the plenum?

 

[C1TPT]

Hmmm not sure about the jubilee clips? strange? The car looks lovely its nice to have mods to put straight on :thumbs:

Looks like its got or had a boost controller though!!

When you fit the turbo timer can you let me know if the speed works for you. I fitted mine and the speed was well out, it tells you to calibrate the speed but every time I do it it stays the same!

 

[andeep]

Cheers mate, will defo check out the speed calibration on the turbo timer.

How can you tell its had a boost controller?

 

[C1TPT]

If you look at the N/S susspension turret you can see that the boost solenoid isnt a standard one and it has a filter after it


Just seen your from Hertfordshire.... Where abouts??

 

[andeep]

Oh right, I hope they havn't run upped boost without other supporting mods! I can see one tube going across the engine bay from the plenum, so guessing thats for the boost gauge. But I can also see the one your talking about, the one with the big filter.

Waiting for my AVCR from nengun, ordered on the 28th of Sept, hoping the latest I will get it is around 1st of Dec - they bloody take ages!

I live in Potters Bar/Cuffley mate, where abouts are you?

 

[C1TPT]

Cool well I live in Bricket Wood but I stay at my Girlfriends in Welwyn all the time so not far from you!

The boost gauge takes it feed from the other side of the engine bay, starts from down by the battery.

 

[andeep]

will see you at the next hertfordshire meet mate! thats if my car comes on time!

 

[C1TPT]

The SXOC one?

 

[andeep]

The SXOC one?

Yep, when is the next one mate?

 

[C1TPT]

Not realy sure mate, ill get in touch with spirit and that lot and sort out a proper one.. Most of us usually meet up all the time any way so when your out in it give us a shout and we can all meet up!
