    got my car a while back and i enjoyed it thoroughly how it is but now i wanna add my own things


    plans:
    . get the rear end lowered even more - done
    . lower the front even more -
    . save up for mot in april, if it passes then a decat manifold is next - done
    . change the exhaust system to a supersprint system - next couple of weeks
    . smoke the head lights
    . de-wiper - done
    . single wiper conversion
    . push start button
    and im not really sure what else tbh

    how it currently is:
    . lowered but not sure by how much?
    . alloys
    . exhaust system
    . sprayed mirror caps
    . tinted lights
    . debadged

    anyways this is how it sits so far



    ^ mate being a prick in the background


    any other suggestions/ideas are most welcome
  2. #2
    You made a thread! YEAHHHH! Car looks mint.
  3. #3

    progress will be slow as foook though! only able to afford to do one thing every few weeks as im skint
  4. #4

    1.1 box fitted today and decat manifold coming thursday
  8. #8
    had the 1.1 box fitted the other day and a 4-2-1 mani today, so so so much fucking fun!
    here are some pics, forgot to get a pic with the mani on but i'll do that later on
    and managed to de-wiper it after tackling it with a hacksaw

    de-wiperd


    during gearbox change



    old shitty mani



    picture of new mani soon...

    i like the wheels
  10. #10
    cheers mate, they deffo need a good clean though
  11. #11
    nice car mate, i like the alloys alot! what you dropping the front by?
  12. #12
    with the smoked headlights and smoked indicators it would be smart looking and then the stickers/teddies removed would clean the rear end up so much
  13. #13
    gonna remove the penguin and smurf, liked it at first but now its abit meh, and reason for the sticker is cos i debadged it but it came out abit shitty, so covering it up with a sticker
    and smoking the headlights soon and also going debadging the gril and giving it a wide mouth, reckon it would look pretty cool and heres a pic of the manifold

    as you can see the bay is rust free

    not sure exactly how much yet, but i want the wheel arch to just about cover the top of the wheel if that makes sense? so by another 30mm im guessing ?
  15. #15
    Looks good! Bay looking much better now mate
  16. #16
    well the MOT went pretty shit, failed on the rear axle, ball joints and a tyre under the limit
  17. #17
    gave the car a nice clean today


    front soon to be lowered within the next couple of weeks and new exhaust system next month
  18. #18
    Looks great mate!
  19. #19
    was going to attempt to get rid of all the slits in the grill and put mesh behind it but i ended up cutting out the bottom row of slits , painted them white, sprayed the whole grill gloss black and the cheverons black.
    also tinted the fogs with black mesh

    the grill looks really different, but i like it!







    soo what you all think?
  20. #20
    head lights soon to be tinted

    Happened loads recently there was a accident a couple of weeks ago just after the Bradford m606 turn off where one of the lamp posts there replacing fell into oncoming traffic it hit a wagon and closed the motorway for the day.

    There is a number on the direct.gov site to put a claim in. I have for my windscreen but it can take up to 60 days to process the claim.

    yeah heard about that, fucking terrible !
    and mehh dont really think its worth putting in a claim for that, just it looks fucking horrible right now, the bottom half was missing and the whole grill was out of place so must of hit something hard

    how does this glossing bumpers work then, im desperate to do mine !
  42. #42
    cheers mate!
    and it was a bastard to do! but got my mates to help me which made it alot easier!

    basically what i did was mask everywhere and everything up haha using bin liners and masking tape, then sanded the bumpers using 240, 600, 800, 1200 grit sand paper. Then applied primer, sanded gently, another layer and let it dry for an hour or so, then went over it with gloss black paint, gave it 3 layers then lacquered over it

    cheers mate
    and ouch, the bus route part must be a cunt :/
    like today when i had to have the garage door open because of the fumes ( i swear its dissolved my brain away! worst headache ) but yea anyway whenever there was wind it just dumped loads of shit on to the bumpers when they were wet so kept having to peal little bits of leaves off etc then respray
    can imagine it being 10x worse with the bus route being there!

    haha yeah i can imagine! wanted to put my foot down but it was rush hour and on main roads, was so painfully slow! but backfired like a fucking machine gun though! sounded awesome!
  74. #74
    photos of the exhaust - excuse the shoe lace! was trying to use that yesterday to hold it together when it happened to get home hahah




    and my awesome job of using tin foil and metal tape stuff to try and hold it together to drive to a garage


  75. #75
    dropped the girlfriend off today and boom sounded like a tractor again! looked under expecting the mani to be snapped again but to my relief it wasnt! but couldnt see where it was blowing from

    anyways continued to drive home then heard a loud metal clunking sound then looked out of my mirror and saw abit of metal fly out from under the car , alittle bit of me died on the inside thinking its something bad! anyways got home with the car sounding like a tractor to find out the one of the bolts that holds the mani to the exhaust system had fell off and the other was extremley loose! so jacked the car up and sorted it out, all good! then had a look at the gearbox to find the majority of the bolts holding it on were loose as fuck! so tightened those up too with some thread lock on them too
    hopefully all is well for now!

    anyways heres some pics



    tried to get a photo of the welding but didnt come out too good

  76. #76
    looks very nice mate, hope the exhaust system holds together. LOL at the tin foil

    and haha yeah very imaginitve ey the exhaust was scraping on the floor so had to hold it up somehow so used tin foil from my sandwiches that i had at college , my shoe lace soaked in water and my head phones to tie it all together haha , still sounded like a fucking tractor though!
  78. #78
    Tin foil ftw! heatwrap is overated! good stuff for trying new stuff out!

    worst luck with this car ever!
    driving along today and some guys dog runs out on the road, so a car coming towards me swerves round the dog so i had to swerve out of the way of that car and mounted a tall curb
    snapped my tracking rod 65 quid to get it fixed! anyways heres some pictures of getting saved by the AA man bang on outside the college gates

    although its fixed my tracking is very very out and the steering wheel wobbles at over 40, is that just due to the tracking being out?







    a few photos with some horses from the previous day haha





    and a photo after a wash yesterday morning



    and any help on the wheel wobble issue any help will be greatly appreciated
  81. #81
    You have the worst luck EVER!

    all was going well until we tried to clamp it together but the clamps from my old exhaust were too small to fit round the straight through pipe! so hopefully gonna take it to a garage tomorrow to fit it! if it was as easy and straight through as the old exhaust it would of bin a 10 min job!
    once its on though will get a video done !
    also whilts underneath the car the straight trhough pipe slipped and fell just under my eye, got a nice cut and bruise there now

    sounds gorgeous!!!!!!
    and mehh! i can deal with it i live on a slight hill so when i get onto my street late at night turn it off and roll down the hill haha

    also now with the exhaust sitting slightly lower it catches on the speed bump at the end of my street, so i have to mount the curb to get over it !

    fucking shit car this! havnt gone one week since bolton abbey without the car breaking down!

    fucking went out for a drive ( didnt boot it ) then driving home with loads of mates and all i could here was a grinding sound from the left hand side of the car! then lost all power to the wheels! stuck on a hill by a big round about! had to use all our cars to block the road with hazards on and push the car across the round about with massive lorries driving across! was horrible!

    anyways reverse worked, so we turned the car around and tried to reverse up the hill to roll back down the other way seen as my house is a mile away all down hill so we thought we'd push/roll down but then power to the wheels in reverse was lost so now the car was in the middle of the road facing oncoming traffic

    we flagged down some police and they couldnt do anything about . Anyways we tried to tow the car home but my mate said you cant tow a car unless you have some special insurance or some shit like that? ? anyways rang so many people and knocked on peoples doors trying to find a tow rope but we had no luck until my mates mum managed to bring down a tow rope but then with my luck the battery had fucking died, and we couldnt bump start the car either so the brakes went soft and we couldnt continue towing so after all that i've had to leave it, all alone in a dark spot off the road

    swear ive had it with this shit tip and i'll be flogging it up on ebay

    Nightmare
  181. #181
    and from having a quick look it looks like either the driveshaft has popped out of the gearbox or snapped by the gearbox
  182. #182
    Sounds like you give this car a hard time tbh, stop spending money on performance stuff and maintain her Ali
  183. #183
    i do
    spent just shy of 700 to get it through MOT the other month! and done an oil change, plugs n all the usual and wash it every week

    £700 to get it through the MOT?
    Oh Jesus!
    What was wrong with it?
  186. #186
    needed a new gearbox, new exhaust manifold since the other one split on the down pipe, new tyre, rear axle was fooked, new ball joints and a new drive shaft
  187. #187
    Have you looked under the car yet? Seems to me whoever did your gearbox job and fitting didnt do a very good one

    If you wash it every week then it should fly through the MOT

    Nope! Like I said in a previous post, when I jacked the car up the majority of the gear box bolts were loose!

    Id take it back to whoever did the gearbox then as by sounds of it they havnt fitted it right! They should pay for it fixing!!

    Cant you come down with someone else?

    wasnt at a garage, was someone who was recomended by a mate
    and i think i will if it isnt sorted tbh
  192. #192
    after looking at this thread, this is exactly what mines done http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8547
    so new box it is AA picking it up in half an hour and we'll have to see what the garage say
  193. #193
    If you have only just had a new box and its gone already is something majorly wrong with how it was fitted that or you drive it like you stole it haha

    Hope you get it sorted :-)
  194. #194
    cheers mate
    but it isnt looking good! was just at the garage, they said its the clutch thats gone, but it cant be the clutch! because it engages all the gears fine etc also there was power going to the drive side wheel, but it was the passengers side not getting any power, so im thinking the gear box has had it tbh
  195. #195
    just having a quick look, can get insured on a 106 gti for less than on my vtr, so if do sell it ( most likley ) gti it is!
  196. #196
    I would of sacked it off if i had a £700 repair bill.. £700 towards another car. Fair play though.
  197. #197
    i know, but i thought maybe if i spent that much on it it might of been good for a good while! but obviously not really am tempted for a gti though!
    600 quid LESS to insure a cammed gti than to insure my vtr!
  198. #198
    right i have decided that i want more umph and i wanna get rid of this car, so 16v i go! hopefully cammed aswell if i can find a decent one

    just wondering whats the best option to go about this car though? scrap it? ( would get 180 for it ) , break it, fix it then sell it? it will have 10 or 11 months mot and tax till december, refurbed axle, new ball joints etc

    really dont know how to go about this? any advice would be great!
  199. #199
    Ricky p selling a black gti £1100, should have take your vtr to him, prob wouldn't have got ripped off Ali .
  200. #200
    Yeah ali get ricky p's black gti as you know you wont be getting ripped off and then break yours as thats the only way to get decent money out of it

  202. #202
    anyone got a link or owt to ricky p's black gti he's selling?
    cant seem to find it anywhere
  203. #203
    Email him. Rickyp-rpm.com
  204. #204
    sent him a text
  205. #205
    Okay sweet. If you need a ride over to view the car someday, I'll head over if you split petrol costs. Wouldn't mind asking him about car resprays and all that.
  206. #206
    yeah lets see what exactly happens first though, got interest in the car already if i do break it for parts, but im kind of tempted to pick up a gearbox, whack that on, tidy the car up a lil bit and sell it maybe 600-700 possibly? with a 10 month MOT ticket on it
    then save up few hundred more for a gti
  207. #207
    I think I'd go with the second option (:
  208. #208
    me too me too!
    will decide in the next couple of days what to do exactly
    wont be getting a new car till next month or so until exams are over so got abit of time

  211. #211
    £1100 he wants for it! It's a very nice car but does need some work doing on the body, that's why he's selling it so cheap. If it was in immaculate condition you'd be looking at easily over £2000 mark. Look up his Facebook page dude Rickyp rpm

    I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?e1ggsq
  226. #226
    well the car has already gone, but basically i was driving along and started to hear a grinding sound from the left hand side wheel, so drove it steady to get home but the sound started getting much worse then lost power to the other wheel too on a hill!

    anyways had a look under the car and i could see that the passenger side drive shaft boot cover was twisted and dripping oil so thought itd just be the drive shaft, got it towed to a garage and the guy at the garage said it was the clutch, it obviously wasnt but yeah i found an old thread on here with the same problem which turned out to be the gear box so i thought fuck spending more money on it and got rid of it
    it was a 1.1 box with no idea how many miles on it so it was probs gonna be the box anyway!

    so thats basically what happend to it!
    spend around a grand on it in the space of a month - 2 month just to keep it working!

    just seen this mate, but tbh im not really sure!
    Im with admiral and i rang them up saying im interested in swapping my car over to a 106 gti bla bla bla the modifications are all the same, lowering, alloys, manifold, exhaust etc + it has uprated cams and i got a quote back of a good 350ish cheaper than my vtr was to insure

    but i have noticed that despite the engines being the same in vts/gtis the gtis have a much lower premium! a vts is around the 3.5k mark to insure

    I've noticed that a vts is more to insure as well, I'd love a cammed gti next but i had an accident in my vtr so think my renewal price will be a bit on the high side

    But I like to know why a vts is more than a gti lol
  247. #247
    ah right unlucky mate
    and there are more vts's i think than there are gti's
    plus a vts can be picked up slightly cheaper than a gti can be picked up for so more crashes in them etc, just down to statistics like

    but i was pretty shocked tbh to see it was cheaper!

    also out of interest when i had my vtr i was playing around with insurance quotes and out of interest i added on it that i had an own fault crash and the price went up 200 ish quid, thats not bad considering im 18 with 0 ncb

    I'm hoping mine only goes up 200 haha I'm also 18 with 0 ncb, vtr isn't bad for a first car but I want something cammed, and cramming a vtr isn't really worth it :/

    Because my old car was lowered so the ride was proper stiff and harsh, and that always broke so since the gti was lowered and the ride was stiff as well he said that's exactly the same as the your old one and said no to the guy before I even opened my mouth! Yet it passed MOT yesterday! Pissed off to say the least though! Found a few ,more gtis now so shall be giving them a ring today!

    just an idea, but ive spotted this but really really do like the look of! its a quicksilver, but come december time i can whack in a 16v which will be no problem

  262. #262
    I wouldnt have my parents decide on what car il be driving day in day out lol..

    I went and viewed it myself and brought him with me when i paid for it. Aslong as its tidy, runs well etc etc etc..
  263. #263
    That quiksilver looks a beaut, but will be a step down performance wise, I would have a look at a couple more gti's first (without the dad lol) and if you can't find a decent gti then consider the quicky, if it is in good nick

    exactly, but the deal was that i worked out with my parents is that since i cant afford the payment outright , is that my parents are helping me out with a few hundred quid and im paying it back monthly
    so they wanna be there haha

    the thing that pissed me off most is that , my dad isnt very " car minded " so anything that isnt normal to him is " broken "

    was a perfect car, looked the tits and had the exact spec i wanted!

    it does doenst it, and i am doing, still on the look out for a gti, but youre right will be a step down but i guess i can deal with it till decemeber!
    i have two options though! im doing a 1.6 8v turbo build within the next few weeks either way to whack into a cheap little shell or should i whack it into the quick silver shell? or just put a cammed 16v lump in it?

    Lol. When they got my first car they didnt decide them selfs. I chose it even though they paid for it all.

    Tell them to pipe down and you're going to buy it lol.
  267. #267
    Ali i would put it into a cheap shell mate, it will cost an absolute fortune buying the quiksilver and building a turbo lump, so a cheap shell might be the best option tbh

    But I don't get the fact that your dad won't let you have a lowered gti, but he's willing to let you have a turbo'd lump in a car lol

    well im getting a 1.6 lump and 90% of the tubo parts for pennies so wont cost me that that much to do atall, so i will probs be putting into a cheap shell as a project over the next 6 months to a year

    and they dont know about the turbo part yet
    theyre oblivious to stuff like that, ive told them im buying an engine to play around with and they were like thats fine, they'll have no idea its getting boosted

    but tbh i think i will go for this quicksilver, dirt cheap on insurance, by the looks of it and from speaking to the guy it seems to be in perfect nick! and in the mean time i'll buy my self a 16v and throw that in on insurance renewal in december, should hopefully have 1ncb by then too so should be all good!

    haha same here mate, but because of all the trouble i had with my vtr they blamed it being modified, they said because it was lowered, exhaust etc that it broke the gearbox, twice :s they have nooo idea what so ever!

    fair enough my manifold snapped at the downpipe which they blamed it on the car being lowered but there was no scrapping/dent on the exhaust where it had snapped so obviously wasnt down to that fact!

    so...

    Turbo builds cost a hell of a lot more than imagined mate, okay the bits like injectors, decomp, intercooler etc are cheap, but wait til you get to the engine management and mapping side, it costs a small fortune mate

    If I was in your shoes, I would either buy a cammed 16v lump for the quicky, or buy a cheap shell for the turbo build tbh

    yeah i understand mate
    there is no deadline for the turbo build, it'll take how ever long it takes tbh to be able to afford everything inc the mapping and management, but like you said think it will be a cammed 16v lump going in!

    just spoke to insurance now about swapping the policy over to the quicky if i do go ahead with it, we get back 370 quid from insurance and i asked them out of interest how much it would be roughly if i put in a cammed 16v engine in december if i got my one years ncb, they said it would be around the same price as it would cost to insure a cammed gti if i got my 1 years ncb which they said could be around the 1500 mark so not bad atall tbh

    and as for the performance now it'll be reet, the car looks a beaut! and will be slightly better on fuel since i'll have to be travelling a good 45 mile commute a day from august onwards so should save a few pennies for a few months
  272. #272
    off to view the quicksilver tomorrow hopefully

    if i do get it first thing on the list will be a 4-2-1 mani and a straight through pipe if anyone has for sale?

    thats a bargain at that price, and probably worth double that in parts too

    id leave the same engine in it though as you have said above, its a bit on the low side to be bombing around in a 16v or boosted lump in it
  287. #287
    very very true! brilliant little car and goes surprisingly well for a 1.4!

    gloss black bumpstrips - next month or so!

    4-2-1 manifold

    paint wheel nuts and show cage but not sure what colour yet!?


    any ideas welcome
  293. #293
    Il upload one shortly mate haha! Btw have u checked your ground clerance yet? Because if your wuite low i wouldnt recomend a 4-2-1 as it will hang quite low!
    My ground clearance for gearbox atm is about half - 1inch

    yeah mate, im around the same, especially the exhaust is a couple of cm off the ground
    I was thinking about the manifold issue, think i may just get an mk1 manifold and put that on, just want to decat it for the sound

    cheers mate, and yes, some epic scraping sessions 90% of the time im driving haha!

    the petrol station i usually go to by my house is having road work carried out around it, and the pavement between the road surface and the petrol station is now about half a foot, which i didnt realise and tried to drive off resulting in my car getting stuck hanging down off the curb , was awkward to say the least

    I discovered today that I can't go down the slopes in multi story car parks , got stuck half way down

    And and and and!!!!!! Next weekend I shall hopefully have my self an engine and some juicy turbo bits to start off my sleeper build already got a flat arch shell lined up in September for the boosted engine to go into bwwwwwaaaarpppptttttttttshhhhhhh

    looks so so nice, but so impractical to drive like that hence why i would never "slam" mine.

    Oh mate it's impractical as fuck! But it's brilliant and handles amazing ! Even had compliments from the popo and being a piper back box it's about 2cm off the ground, from the scraping it's flattened out if that makes sense?

    I'd love to have the boosted engine in this but it's way too low to boot around !

    basically with the standard rev limiter it cuts out the fuel supply where as with the omex limiter it cuts out the spark so fuel is stll injected and when the plugs ignite you'll have mahhooosive pops and bangs! just seeing a golf with an omex limiter at fueled society with bangs and pops loud enough to set car alarms off a couple of hundred meters away made me reaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly want one!

    Haha it's a pain In the arse but well worth it! And I saw you driving past! What you doing tonight ? Me n a few mates are chilling at odeon car park tonight if you fancy coming along?!
    There will be a mini there, two saxos' a Clio and my 106 if you're up for it?
  343. #343
    Ahh gutted im busy tonight im afraid mate, shame really would of been good to bob along for a bit. Thanks for asking though anyhow. Where did you get your car lowered if you dont mind me asking? Seriously need mine doing. New parts youve bought sound good!
  344. #344
    Ah you let down! We'll be there for a few hours or so so you could pop down for 10 mins or whatever if you can? Would be good to meet you and boony on here can do you your torsion bar for 50 quid and I can't remember how much he does he front for though !
    Also rickyp does the torsion bar and front end including springs for 120 if I remember correctly!

    And cheers man
  345. #345
    slight update but nothing much!

    engine is in the process of being stripped but i stripped two sockets trying to get the long bolts which attach the head to the block, got 4 out and another 4 to go!

    seriously cant wait till it starts to take shape
  346. #346
    Impact sockets ftw! hahaha looks good mate. feeling a 16v turbo conversion myself hmmm
  347. #347
    Deffo! And haha do it mate! I was tempted with a cammed 16v ump, so much easier but I have to have boost!
  348. #348
    are you using the 6 point socket or a 12 point also when i had a Fucked head bolt i banged a 10mm 12 point socket on to get head bolt out
  349. #349
    6 mate, gonna see if I can borrow an impact socket from college on Friday! Just need to get them out, bin stuck for the past 2 days on it!

    Give them a good coating in wd40 for a good half hour then get an impact socket and a strong bar a couple of foot long and will come straight off!

    Shall do mate will need to borrow a bar too! One I have now is about half a foot long haha
  352. #352
    Fuck long bars get yourself a short length of scaffold does the job fine. And also as a note had a customer in today for a wheel change because he got pulled and 3 points for each stretched tyre on the m62 roadworks I think it's just the odd copper but thought I would tell you with u asking.
  353. #353
    So he got 12 points :0 fuuuck that

    Yeah unmarked silver Audi pulled him on heartshead moor service station asked why his tyres were un road worthy and over inflated took pics and wrote him up.

    I know that most places around here won't blow the tyres on without you signing a disclaimer first. I think it could be a west yorks crackdown and I'll ask my mate ( traffic cop ) when I see him on sat.
  355. #355
    That's horrendous and yes please do ask him and let me know mate!
  356. #356
    Wait, the police man said to me to that as of yet they cant give me any points or fines until next week when this new " legislation " comes out?!?!?
    This is so confusing
  357. #357
    Boost and stretched tyres dont mix.
  358. #358

    Seems like coppers just take a disliking to certain people/ cars

    From what happened between you and the fella who had 3 points for each tyre thats mentioned is 2 different things?

  368. #368
    way way too much to buy a 16v turbo manifold
    will be easier to build this up and boost it as a first experience and maybe at a later stage for a higher spec 16v turbo lump, but a 1.6 8v turbo will be plenty fast for now

    Pretty fast? for how low yours is mate its all its going to be able to take.

    Anyway's called my mate today and he got back to me after work. There is a crackdown in west and south yorkshire on stretched wheels and camber. Each wheel is classed as a offence so 3 points for each. He also said that you would have to be very unlucky to get pulled but there is still a chance.

    Maybe so
    And ah right cheers mate! thank you! And why would it be very unlucky like? I mean there's plenty of traffic cars about recently, more traffic cars than actual police cars round here these days! The car that pulled me over I have driven past 4 times since I got pulled!
    So are they actually looking out for cars with stretched tyres / camber? Or just if you get pulled and they notice it? Then again my stretched is very little! Not even noticeable unless you actually look at it closely

    There's a civic round here with massive camber and massively stretched tyres which I've seen around for a year or so, and it's always bin like that so I'm just wondering if he's had any hassle

    As far as I understand it, as long as the tread of the tyre is within or inline of the arch then the tyre is legal.

    I don't see how they can say what "stretched" tyres are as there is no specific guide as to what width wheels should have which tyres.

    Exactly! He tried to do me for my actual wheel sticking out p the arch, and I said you have a 30mm limit and he was like I've bin a traffic officer for 25 years I know everything about it do I just shut up
    And he got a tape measure , measured the width of the tyre then the wheel and then goes its stretched !
  378. #378
    My mate (traffic cop) said that from the middle of the month they will be issued with a template that is a set degree that they put on the wheel rim. Anything beyond that angle is deemed unsafe for highway use.

    But as said he only knows about the south and west yorkshire area so i cant comment on anywhere else.

    Unfortunately he sounds like a c*nt that doesn't actually know a thing. The whole idea of stretched tyres comes from keeping the tread inside the wheel arches.

    I suppose if they were seriously stretched then they could say it's dangerous but I've never heard of that to be honest.

    A traffic officer will tell you anything if he thinks it'll make you change it.

    yes actually mate, gonna do a proper boot build
    after seeing some at trax its made me wanna do it!

    basically out of this car i want it to have the lowness factor, the boosted factor and the sound system factor, alot of cars these days its mostly one out of the 3 if you get me?

    its alot of money, time and effort but it will be worth it
  445. #445
    Sounds cool, I'm not fussed on boot builds but I love silly low cars, do you gt people ask you why your so low? Haha

    well it would be possible but would need boost pipes running to each body and alot of moneyyyyy!
    but yeah would like to see a picture if you can find it

    Nevermind, retard moment. Just on bodies. Confused by the VR6 conversion AND bodies <3

    fair play, but thats out of the question atm, its either boost or that head and those carbs, the carbs are all good to go, just bolt it onto that vtr engine i have and chuck it all in!

    i thought about it for a min after i said it, im sure it would work if you had a setup to deliver the boost to each throttle body , should work shouldnt it?!

    That is a beautiful engine bay!
  494. #494
    That engine bay is gorgeous!!!

    But Ali out of the two I would go boost, from what I've heard carbs are a bastard to set up and get the air/fuel mixture right.... bodies are a much better option IMO

    But tbh personally i think in your 106 neither would be a very good idea because of your ride height.... I mean you'd fly along having a great time and then catch air from the sump hitting a cats eye lol.... if your going for a high engine spec then your going to have to compromise ride height tbh
  495. #495
    boost would probably give you more bhp and shock more people, but carbs would sound awesome?

    I'm after the uniqueness if you get me mate? And my mate knows someone who can sort out the air/fuel mixture on a rolling road for 80 quid so that ain't too bad
    And as forthe ride height I dunno

    i'd say stick the rallye head on get the s1 loom and ecu aswell (for higher rev range) and boost it! i reckon you would see good gains from that!

    ps i know of an s1 loom and ecu that has been modified for a quickie!
  500. #500
    Carb it with a set of fully polished webber twin 40's and you will never look back. A way better idea than boos when your that low.

  502. #502
    fitted a mk1 saxo mani yesterday to decat it ( sounds alot better! )
    anyways about an hour later when i revered up my drive it caught on the pavement on the joint between the down pipe and centre section and completley bent it and caused it to blow, alot!

    so got a new manifold from the scrappys and bought a brand new down pipe from a to z and fitted it on the side of the road, cos im a true badass

    at first i did, but now the sump has pushed " inwards " if you get me so it just misses them, and now with the new manifold on, it sits less than half an inch off the floor so im scraping as i go

    and they did mate, but as i tried to reverse up my drive it caught on the joint between the dow pipe and centre section and pushed it forwards if that makes sense? and bent it at the joint at the top between the manifold and the down pipe

    get saving

    and basically ive enjoyed the epic lowness now of my car, and want more quickness

    original plan was to throw a boosted r lump into this, but i gotta admit, its way too low to enjoy boost in that

    and come decemeber it is my insurance renewal and my mate is selling a completley rebuilt, stripped and cammed gti in a beautiful red colour! absolutley pristine car

    so thats the plan, and its only an extra 380 quid to insure a gti so not complaining what so ever

    I cant get saving, i cant find a job

    Yeah, wouldnt make sense to boost a car this low, im after a gti some time next year, all depends on my insurance, i was going to cam my VTR, but its pointless when i could get a gti and start with more bhp in the first place.

    hope it would only be an extra £380 for me to insure a gti

    Yeah, wouldnt make sense to boost a car this low, im after a gti some time next year, all depends on my insurance, i was going to cam my VTR, but its pointless when i could get a gti and start with more bhp in the first place.

    hope it would only be an extra £380 for me to insure a gti
    you let down

    yeah no point camming a vtr, just get a gti

    I know I know make sure it goes to a good home

    If I do find a job, and can get insured on a gti I might look for a throttlebodied one ... Just a dream ATM though haha

    Need to save up for some cams now!
  534. #534
    basically found a vts engine for a prce i cant turn down, also being a 3 plug engine which seem hard to come by tbh! so plan now is ( i keep changing my plan i know! ) is to pck up the engine next weekend, and save up for some ph3 cams or catcams , whack those in along with a new timing belt and put the engine in in december!

    also the car will be getting stripped too once the engine conversion is all done and working !

    and some pictures will be up soon from a little mess about today with some awesome flame shots

    haha yep, well originally we put it in the boot, but two people sat in the back and two in the front + the engine in the boot made the rear wheels scrape on the arches real bad! so we had to move it to the front and 3 of us got in the back!

    was on facebook mate
    and yeah but im not really sure!
    it isnt the impracticability, it was getting police off my back but im keeping them now until i drop the new lump in, then gonna see how drivable it is with being so low, if its all good ima keep them, if its too low for abit of fun i'll swap/sell them
  574. #574
    also partially started stripping the car , rear bench, carpet etc and will be stripping more off it today from the rear, the front half is staying as it is until the 16v lump is in!





    the exhaust noise is fucking beautiful in the car!
    stupidly loud ( hurts my head ) but youi can hear ever part of the exhaust note! every pop, every bang, every burble, raspyness and the lot! love it!

    yeah thats fair enough matey well give me a shout if you do decide to swap/sell them

    p.s there is no such thing as too low
  576. #576
    I'm pretty sure the weight from putting the vts lump in mine dropped the front a lot. With my ats's on I actually raised the front a few threads as driving round totally slammed left about an inch at lowest point. Looks good though mate

    im not surprised, theres a quite a noticble difference in the weight between the r lump i had and the s lump now!

    but i shall work on all that once the engines in, but also im gonna be stripping alot of the car once the engines in so that may raise the front up a tad?

    but thanks mate

  596. #596
    This will probably sound stupid but with the omex limiter does it stop the car hitting the standard limiter? Or do you still get valve bounce and risk damaging your engine if you keep it on limiter to long like normal?

    s'all good mate, and yeah, if you set it lower than the stnadard revlimiter mate, if you set it higher than the standard revlimiter you'll hit the standard limiter
  598. #598
    So if the standard limiter is at 5750? Or what ever it is and you set the omex for 4750 it would be ok just to keep your foot planted everything would be ok? This has confused me when you watch videos and you can hear it haha
  599. #599
    yes mate its all good, i've set mine to 5.5k, sounds awesome how fast it bounces off the limiter!

  625. #625
    Up to you but id rather have the 16v running then be skint.

    never know when you might need the spare coin.

    Exactly yeah, could end up needing to buy more bits etc, I'll have 600 ish quid to play with till next month,
    80 in ecu, guessing roughly 30-40 on loom, 80-100 on manifold, 20-30 on alternator , 180 for cams and say 30-40 for fresh fluids plugs etc
    That's 420 - 470 so will leave me with just over a 100 for a month think the cams may have to wait till next pay day tbh
  627. #627
    I'd leave the cams and get the 16v in and running tidy, like Prickle said, you might run into problems or something and the you'll be without money and a car :/

    Also seen this on the French car show Facebook page.
  628. #628
    £100 isnt a lot at all. I go through 40 quid a week with fuel on my S. cant sat how many miles i do as i dont record but on some hoons, booya she sips well xD

    balls in your court regarding cams though.

    bit of a fail day today tbh
    set off early in morning to go pick up a 4-2-1 mani for my quicky, fitted it all well and good!
    then i lowered my car down off the jack , hopped into to pull it out of the garage and there was a constant scraping sound , so i Looked under the car to find that the bottom of the manifold sits on the floor
  645. #645
    raise it.

    Yes...

    Why not? If the metal is 20mm thick then why not shave 10mm off?

    I've never seen a Saxo manifold so I have no idea. There is no reason for it to be "unwise" as it'll make no difference (In theory).

    Lots of people shave parts if they need that little bit more room. Even as far as brake calipers.
  651. #651
    if the metal was 20mm thick itd be a ton weight

    Correct, you dont. xoxoxo as per fb

    I did think that lol

    As said to John on FB, I've never dealt with/seen an aftermarket Saxo manifold so I have no idea.

    Even if it's only 5mm, why not shave off 3 if it's that close?
  654. #654
    Isn't a manifold like 1-2mm thin? Hahaha

    Gutting that its constantly scraping though, I got a supersprint on mine and it doesnt sit much lower if any than te standard one.
  655. #655
    no no no, i has a better plan

    basicically the flange at the bottom that joins to the centre section is at an angle if that makes any sense? so gonna take the mani into work on monday , cut it off and reweld it into a slightly different position so it sits flat rather than at an angle
  656. #656
    the flange is a cunt to start with. could you not take it off and fit a flexi cat? if you can weld youre laughing

    especially the racelands

    5mm steel is thick mate even still itd be heavy

    most cash security boxes wont be 5mm steel
  659. #659
    nah man it'll be reet, just saw straght through it, will take seconds to cut through it, reline it up and weld it so should be all good
    was just pretty gutted after it all though!

    on the other hand paying for an unlocked vts ecu and alternator on monday, and in two weeks time i shall have hold of a 16v manifold and piper 285's

    dont change the shape of the flange, it will flow shite.
    instead just shorten the length of the downpipe a few mill, if its anything like mine you should be able to take a fair few mm off it..

    im not changine the shape or anything like that mate, just twisting it round



    if you look there the joint where the centre section attaches to is flat, where as the mani got that joint is more like this kind angle /

    so gonna cut it off and realign it
  663. #663
    Even if you do that? Won't it give it like 10mm ground clearance still? Haha fair play for driving it so low
  664. #664
    nah it should be reet that way cos then it'll sit how the manifold i have on now does,
    only issue with the new manifold is the angle of that joint
  665. #665
    why not cut it off on the (2). cut it down and weld it on the same angle as it was lol.

    no need to change the angle of it.
  666. #666
    I really cant see this going well. Why bother with all this cutting and welding and all that? especially for a manifold that's going to be redundant when you go 16v.

    But John has the best idea shorten the collectors and re weld. P.s. Welding stainless with mild steel mig makes the stainless rust because you introduce carbon into the metal so it will rust fast.

    im sorry

    complete norm for me these times lol.

    How long until you go 16v ali? is it worth all this hassle for the sake of a manifold?

    punt it on, and put the money in the bank for when you 16v rather than spending money on an 8v your getting rid of !!

    till i drove to work this morning i checked on my drive and there was no oil, but on the way to work there was a raised surface on the road which my cars scraped on before but not badly, but i scraped on it today and im guessing it cracked the new sump


    so once again lads, i did not drive knowing my sump was fucked

    plans are, 16v in and running spot on, invest in some 15inch alloys just so i have abit more ground clearance and keep the starmags for meets/shows

    then, cams and a 4-2-1 / 4-1 ( depending if i can pull it off with the starmags on !

    then once thats all done and mapped, buckets, and a full cage and once everything is spot on and how i want it , it shall be abused round a track

    What about 205s? Or cyclones?

    Me n my mate and it turns over but have a massive fueling issue! seriously filling cylinder 2 and 4 up with a stupid amount of fuel!
  824. #824
    right then, bit of an update bitches

    had engine out by 10, had 16v all built up, ready, dropped in etc and done by 1
    so before splicing the looms or anything we hooked it all up, and decided to turn the engine over and it did which is a good start! until it hydrolocked!

    right so plugs out and get rid of all the fuel ( not knowing that there was that much fuel in cylinder 2 and 4 ) by turning the engine over briefly and the fuel shot up a good couple of meters up into the air!

    so we thought right could be possibly be because we blocked the fuel return, so then we hooked up a fuel return to the tank ( which took the best part of about 4 hours to do! )

    then tried again and the same happened again! so what we're hoping is that this is simply happening because of the wiring loom situation !

    pics soon to follow
  825. #825
    ecu and loom seem a bit pricey i just had my mk1 16v loom delivered for £25 and ive sold a few ecus for around £55-60

    that aside get some pics up!

    good luck with sorting the problem

    You need to be looking at stuff like this 99% change its something mechanical not a wiring fault. Mind you you mayaswell get the loom sorted so you know its done etc and then you can move onto that stuff.

    Hahha that did crack me up not gonna lie! At least you've come out of the closet mate and actually yeah! Gav talked us through it but any extra help wouldn't go a miss!!!
  878. #878
    Plans bitches! :
    Right get engine running, next bigger wheels, mapped ecu from cam if he still has it, 708 cams, once gav has got a 16v itb set up made up and running then bodies, bucket, full cage and maybe some other bits n bobs
  879. #879
    You need to decide what you actually want with the car mate.

    With it been so low I wouldn't bother putting a cage in it because you wont be able to use the car to the extent where you need one. Other than that plans sound good.
  880. #880
    someoone just help him get it running
  881. #881
    Can possibly go down to work on Sunday and get on with it, sir Bedford might come down too!

    I would of said injector if it was just one but they failed in pairs now all 4 I imagine it's a wiring fault within the loom or a problem with the Ecu. It's a strange one though

    That does make sense doesn't it , think it might be a case of strip the loom out and have a look

    On rs rollers we are talking a peak of 208 bhp fuck knows what torque but it wont be more than 2 its a honda I actually lost the print out. And weighs in at just over 900kg with the fuel light on at my local scrap metal dealers.

    Fastest run at york was a 13.996.

    But its also not very well at the mo needs a LOT of welding and a new clutch and the gearbox looking at.

    Feels amazing to beat 14 lol and I just scraped it.

    York generally gives a better time they have 4 different surfaces and its a cooler place to run at.
  993. #993
    Yea im hoping that with the usual lower times and the fact ill have a good gearbox ill crack 14.8. i think anything less than that is abit ambitious however my mate got a 14.9 in a standard saxo with budget tyres :/

    thats fair enough mate and i got the complete engine so i would of assumed that the injectors would of been the originals !
  999. #999
    right lads, update as to whats happenig!

    basically when we put engine in etc it was turning over but filling cylinders 2 and 4 up! so after a lot of pissing about and try all sorts we decided to whack on the old quicky ecu, and it sorted out the injectors issue! but obviously it wouldnt spark, so does sound like a ecu fault,
    the 16v ecu does spark but majorly fucks the injectors up where as the old quicky ecu sorts the injectors issue out but no spark!

    so new 16v ecu needed!

    i just cant see it being anything else tbh! the old quicky ecu stopped the injectors having a spaz attack but obviously wouldnt start, and the 16v ecu causes the injectors to go all retarded! really do hope that this new ecu will fix it!
  1012. #1012
    Hope it works man! Can't wait to see it running (:

    buy a new ecu and boom! first turn of the key it started!

    so that old ecu was providing a constant live to the injectors causing 2 and 4 to stay open when you put ignition on!

    and no loom splicing had to be done

  1061. #1061
    Will it 100% not talk to a diag at all? what machines have you tried on it? ive never had a problem with 3-plug communication like. As bedford says you could just check the map values with a diag if you can get it talking and other parameters. Saves alot of time swapping and manually checking stuff.

    Give me a shout tommoz ali if I'm not busy ill try pop over and plug it into mine. Got 3 different software packages we can try and if none work ill happily burn it for you.

    I as have a icv crank sensor and map sensor from vts's that we can try see if they solve the issue.

    "unlocked" ecu i was told... turns out it's not, another possible ecu brought down to try, not unlocked either, so got another 3/4 days to wait on mine to be unlocked, and then the conversion invoice arrived :'(

    Well ali your car has fucking baffled me.

    Used 3 different diagnostics software and all we got was knock sensor crank sensor and lambda.

    But with the map sensor unplugged it idles sweet as a nut but won'r rev up. Confused like a bastard.

    Well at least we've narrowed it down to the ecu needing reconfiguration!

    I don't know mate. It seems to simple to be just that. That connector wants sorting too whilst you still have the old loom it comes off too easy specially with the vibrations with you been so low.

    well with the link above, and all my current issues its fucking me right off!
  1093. #1093
    i nearly bought it too due to being a local 3 plug and never saw that thread, im so glad i didnt, as he suspects piston rings in that thread due to over fuelling badly.

    when i saw the bump this afternoon i actually thought, thats alis engine.

    thats why i bought it, soon as i saw 3 plug engine i was like get in!
    but seriously though, he assured on 2 seperate occasions that the engine was spot on

    although, my current problems are down to an electrical fault

    truely hope that a few electric gremlins fix it mate as thats where i am now, hoping my ecu is on its way back to mark for a test fire.

    but i feel for ya mate, sucks

    also the lovely tom on here ( tom5190 ) is coming over on saturday to have a play with it!

    i really do hope so mate
    just everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, and im sure by how things are going even more things will go wrong

    also, since it has been over fuelling like and still is i just hope the rings are not fucked!

    its just really fucked me off that he reassured me the engine was spot on! but obviously not!

    Check injectors
    Map Sensor
    Crank position Sensor
    Get the correct lambda sensors for the engine, not just from a 1.1
    Make sure the earths are all in good condition.
    Check the plugs to see if any of them are very sooty, can be a sign of over fueling or lack of fuel and can give you a good indication whether an injector is off.

    Well by reading some of the last few pages none of you have bothered changing them, just thought about the cause.

    I should've wrote change and then the following....but I didn't so please forgive me, just trying to help the lad out so he can get his pride and joy running.

    You've had it in all of these diagnostic tools but have you bothered changing the parts to see if it cure's the problem? It's not like they'll cost you an arm and a leg is it.
  1105. #1105
    can we get a summary of what parts have actually been changed?
  1106. #1106
    so far

    . injectors are fine
    . 2 ecu's
    . oxy sensors
    . crank sensor
    . coil pack
  1107. #1107
    can you get a map sensor from anywhere to try?

    Nobody has said anything about being a mug, you're just jumping on some strange defensive wagon because I've suggested changing some parts that havent already been mentioned to have been changed.

    How the fuck do I know what you have and havent changed if it's not documented in here? I havent got a crystal ball mate.

    Because Bedford126 and your mechanics at work are incompetent I suggest the following:

    Check injectors
    Map Sensor
    Crank position Sensor
    Get the correct lambda sensors for the engine, not just from a 1.1
    Make sure the earths are all in good condition.
    Check the plugs to see if any of them are very sooty, can be a sign of over fueling or lack of fuel and can give you a good indication whether an injector is off.

  1120. #1120
    right ali before you go diagnosing or changing any more things do a compression test on it (bedford can you help big hair bumder?) then go from there if its good then first thing to do I would drop the oil and see how fuel smell it is and then put some new in

    sensors only thing which has been mentioned get proper 16v lambdas on and try a map sensor, if you got a spare tps try it wont explain the overfuelling but may do something about this invisble rev limit otherwise loom off and check for breaks in wiring
  1121. #1121
    Yeah I can help go do a compression test. But in all honesty he works in a shit hot garage with a amazing reputation around here.

    But in my opinion the car didn't smell like it was over fuelling that bad.
  1122. #1122
    cheers for all the help lads, bvery much apprecieated! and fanks bby
    showed the lads at work your comment
    and mr tom is coming all the way from his place down to mine saturday morning so we can play around on it ! really do hope he can sort it as im so close to breaking the car for parts now!
  1123. #1123

    Not read this thread for a few days didn't realise you were still having problems Ali, I hope you don't give up but I can't say don't give up because I gave up on my 206 HDI, that had electric gremlins where at some point the loom had been spliced and never run properly.

    If anyone can fix it Tom can!

    I'm in the same boat as you now Ali and I am massively fucking pissed off. Cost me nigh on a grand and it won't even fire, fuel pump is not even priming so not a clue what to do now, I never actually considered the fact i might have problems haha.

    Waited all week for my ecu to come back from being unlocked, and still no closer to driving it

    i was just gonna ask how yours is going i really hope you do get it sorted asap as it does proper fuck you reet off!

    and when i was thinking of 16v'ing it, everyone said to keep a couple hundred spare incase you ran into any problems, that couldnt get any more true !!
  1136. #1136
    I must of been lucky when did the conversion in the rallye, took a day and all worked perfectly haha

    Wanker.

    Mine is stressing me out no end, I think there must be a conversion cloud over west Yorkshire that just fucks it up for us lot.

    So what's crack with yours now Ali? Will it be getting split down?? I'm tempted but don't think I'd get even half back what its cost me

    What you mean you tried the list that was posted and it didn't work? No way mate!!!! ha ha

    Hope the ecu sorts it out I had a feeling it was going to be the ecu when it was throwing the fault codes up and we couldn't wipe or reset them.

    Update to mine seen as me and Ali are now sharing disaster conversions. Tom visited mine after Ali, swapped his relay into mine and it fired straight up!!! So fingers crossed mines up and running!)

    Fucking buzzing.

    Lawlans is sorted pretty much had it running with mark at MA. here's a list of what we changed/tested on Ali's:

    EVERYTHING

    Only thing I couldnt test was the ECU.

    ali & fram just to make sure this is fail safe for both of you so nothing fucks up fram when your engine is still running at alis take the mobiliser box out of yours so the ecu is in an unlocked state, ali when you try it on yours make sure there is no mobiliser box plugged in at all

    iyghwsefhqlrwi so happy!
    but i just cant find an ecu to save the life of me!
  1221. #1221
    probably easier to buy a known working locked ecu and send it off to blue hawk to get unlocked? 20 on ecu about 70 to get unlocked 3 plug unlocked ecus look to be an arse to get hold of
  1222. #1222
    im even trying to get hold of a locked one but absolutley no where/no one has one!
  1223. #1223
    Picked up a new rad and got a twin fan set up too! already in red but needs a fresh luck of paint!

    Oh she runs! And runs well! To say that the engines on 105k it pulls fucking well! Just need sort out some issues need ecu, need to fit new rad , new to get the fan working, sort the pas out and onc all sorted fit the twin set up
  1226. #1226
    Oh and all the dials have decided to stop too !
  1227. #1227
    dials i would check the plug on box/wiring
  1228. #1228
    Yeah they are surprisingly fast little engines as it goes I might need to borrow yours to see how the fuelling is set up, does yours have a return line?
  1229. #1229
    Bastard I wanted those wheels. Trololololololol....

    And just need to get yours going now matt. Did you get the throttle cable sorted? I had a little lol at it on the way home.
  1230. #1230
    No just text him now, rang before but someone else answered cos he's deaf ha, need to look at a 16v fuel setup and it should be better, can't be that hard though surely

    yeah man, ive driven a couple of 16vs and bin out in quite a few so i knew what i was expecting, but just didnt expect that much haha!
    i guess not much weight, plus the tiny wheels and the 1.4 gearbox helps haha!

    also, yeah man no worries, once its running proper !
    also, originally i blanked it off, but, when the injectors were staying open i thought it may of been ebcause there was too much pressure, so i ran a fuel return( which took the absolute piss! )

    on the loom side or the fan side? and i tried another relay on it mate but made no difference
  1242. #1242
    Hmm possibly fuses? Yea the fan plug dosent connect properlly
  1243. #1243
    oh fuck, never noticed that, i shall have a perve in the day light tomorrow, and ive checked fuses
  1244. #1244
    so plans now that the its down to the ecu which will be sorted asap, but once thats done plans are:

    since the engine is on quite high milage ( drives beautifully though ) a rebuild wouldnt go a miss! so shall be whacking on a new jp4 bottom end , new seals , gaskets etc!

    then, buckets, cams, and boddies when gavs pulled his finger out of his arse
  1245. #1245
    hur hur
  1246. #1246
    Get on it
  1247. #1247
    well if I get that jp4 xsi then it will be done pretty fast
  1248. #1248
    Good lad then when it's all sorted I shall drive my car to your ends and you can work your magic
  1249. #1249

  1251. #1251
    paid for an ecu now hopefully should be turning up tomorrow!
    just a few other little niggles now,
    fan wont cut in, pas works for 20 secs or so when the car is turned on ( tried another relay on it and no luck ) and i think thats it!

    so help!
  1252. #1252

    Same happened to me after conversion!

    PAS worked for abit then stopped.. Ended up binning the PAS lol. Also my fan didnt work either, so just wired a switch in.

    You can get thermostat switches off ebay that allows the fan to come on at a certain temp.

    Like did it work every time you turned the car on for like half a minute then stop?!
    Also that's what Im thinking but I don't have a temp gauge so I don't really know when I should switch the fan on or off?!
  1256. #1256
    Well done Ali, I drove mine first but I think yours will be more "complete" first.

    Mines done 15.2miles to 10litres of petrol (h) best of all im now being ignored by my "mechanic"

    Thanks man I think yours is more complete tbh, as everything's works as it should doesn't it? Apart from the major over fuelling?
    Also, that's abit shit tbh

    I still have the fan to get working and pas to work! I can deal without the pas now but I just want my fan to work so It doesn't over heat
  1258. #1258
    Yeah it worked every time after i just started it then went off a few bends later lol.

    Couldn't get my head around it! Broken PAS is alot worse than removing it and the fluid.

    Get the temp sensor working, but tbh I hardly use the fan.. Just when sat in traffic for abit

    An right! What an odd one as it worked perfectly fine before hand haha!
    But you're not wrong! It's horrible to drive like that haha, but I might as well put it on a switch for now then tbh, just so at least I wont run the risk of it over heating!
  1260. #1260
    Same my PAS worked faultlessly for 3 years and doing same as yours, So must be something different on the 16v looms or some other wiring monster lol.

    Pretty straight forward putting the switch in, just getting the cables through tidily.

    Possibly so because mine worked perfectly too! So did you just get a new pas pump from a 16valver?
    And yeah man not too fussed as I just wanna make it drivable for now then get the fan working soon as
    Also it's mot ran out today so I need to be able to drive it to mot soon too!

    Wiring in a thermostatic fan shouldn't take very long at all, car can look after itself then

    Lets just say I set off in my car this morning, and I'm on the way home on a bus....

    Ill explain when I'm home , too much to type on phone!
  1267. #1267
    right, so, whacked on a new ecu and boom it worked spot on, did the last little bits n bobs, then drove it down to wakefield for its mot ( first proper drive ) so i know i shouldnt of while not being 100% if its spot on but even so i did give it a boot and it was brilliant! especially on slip road to the motorway, it just took right off!

    right anyways, got my MOT and as i joined the motorway the temp warning light came on, so pulled over into the hard shoulder to find that the bottom rad hose had come off its clip on the side so it was rubbing against the alternator belt therefore putting a hole in it

    right, so only thing i could do was top it up with water and wrap some tin foil round it along with some insulation tape ( all i had on me )
    that kept me going for 10 miles or so until rushhour traffic hit the fucking m62, so i couldnt risk staying on there so i got off the motorway and honesatyl ive never had a more frustraiting drive than this ever!

    so i got off and fuck me the traffic was horrendous! honestly never seen owt like it, so my car being the bag of shit it is, completley pissed all water out again so i pulled into some street, knocked on a few doors asking for some water and some tape if they had any, and i did that maybe 8 or 9 times in the space of 3 miles! and that 3 miles took me 2 mother fucking hours!

    so now ive dropped it off at work, and got the bus home

    think i might write out how much everything has cost me:

    . engine - 70
    . clutch - 72
    . top rad hose - 20 i think?
    . 3 x ecu's = 200
    . wiring loom - 70
    . alternator - 40
    . oil/coolant etc - 30
    . plugs - 4 . something
    . timting belt - just under 20 i think it was?
    . alternator belt - 7
    . radiator - 20
    . twin fan set up - 10
    . fan wiring loom - 10 ( marcus your money will be with you shortly! )
    . bottom rad hose - 5 ( gav , above )
    . metal pipe shit to temp fix my bottom hose - 8
    . exhaust manifold - 25

    im sure theres other bits too but cant remember them!
    so in total, so far : £611


    thats a painful figure

    i bet a fair chunk of that though was the bill for the lad who dropped the lump in for you?
    and yeah man i can do if you want? what are the roads like by your ends? also, ohhhhhhhh yes
  1323. #1323
    Roads are OK but i know you will love Leeds tunnels

    Conversion cost £220 the other £780 was service parts labour and random bullshit along the way plus £180 for engine box loom ECU and then other extras on top.

    More than a vts to buy basically
  1324. #1324
    Okay man we'll sort something out for next weekend then ?!
    And ah right, but fuck me that is alot!
    What we both should of done tbh was buy a running donor Vts/gti , then done the conversion!
  1325. #1325
    Totally off topic.. but my head is mashed!

    I always see banter with you n the lads off here about being gay, then you post a picture of your hot bird?

    She changed you or just a very long on-going inside joke haha ?

    On topic.. Glad you got the problems sorted mate =] Just for some added confidence.. I haven't had a single problem with the 16v conversion since I put it in on DEC 2011 =]

    I thought Ali paid out a fair bit.

    Im by how much you've paid mate. That could of got you a 2000 plate vts easily what you've paid out.

    Hopefully you sort it though.

    £780 on what service parts/labout?? a full rebuild?? I fear you've been what they call "been had" ...

    Not trying to sound harsh or negative but FUCKING HELL DUDE
  1352. #1352
    Its what I have been saying all along unless you can do the conversion yourself and all the work with the re-build its just not worth doing.

    youre not wrong, wouldnt of been worth paying for everything to do it + labour costs on it, could buy a decent s/gti for that, but deffo if i was going to 16v a car again id buy a running donor car and go from there!
  1355. #1355
    I have been had in a sense.

    Engine had new head gasket and bolts, skimming and stem seals, something like that.
    New clutch
    New timing belt and pump plus pulleys

    Then it needed ECU unlocking and had two new engine mounts one being rally spec and a new shaft also...

    So not really as other than a bad issue i am still to discover, the engine has had a FULL service for all above work I'm sure it would cost you £750 prickle...

    Just the fact its drinking fuel like George best that is depressing me ATM.

    Yeah we have at least 4 inch if not more.

    Also no wide tyres are shit in the snow because they fill with snow and sit on the top. Thin tyres cut through the snow to the ground below.

  1434. #1434
    Nice car but needs to be a bit cleaner IMO.

    De-slat the bumper, remove bonnet wrap and other stickers and it would be great.

    I have so much love 106's especially the GTI's.

    Shell it.

    Get everything decent swapped over to a decent none abused shell.

    You have £300 minimum in the rear quarter after a blend into the door because the silver is a cunt to spray and panel to panel match.

    Yeah get yourself a new shell, Save yourself £300 o the new beam and £300 fixing the quarter. you should be able to get a half decent shell for £500 ish.
  1507. #1507
    well, was gonna rebuild the axle, 60 quid for the bearings etc but still
    gonna see what robyns dad says as he owns a body shop, if not either like you said put all the bits into a new shell / break the car for parts

    Bad times Ali, at least I won't be only person at bolton abbey with a dent edition 106, my 106 has tiny dents everywhere! Sure my car was the result of a breakup revenge looks like someone has punched the poor thing
  1511. #1511
    Oh yes! and haha that's fair enough! It's gonna look ugly as fuck! but it'll be reet just a shame tbh after all te money I put into it
    If I can find a cheap enough quicky/gti shell soon ill swap everything over onto that!
  1512. #1512
    Gutted for you bud! I would be looking for a gti/quikky shell and would be swapping everything over though I think.
  1513. #1513
    still... must be kinda hard swapping shells. sentimental value and all that. I certainly wouldnt want to swap the shell of my vtr. I'd save the ball ache and get it repaired
  1514. #1514
    If it was mine id get shot of it. Lol. Not worth it.

    At least you wont be the only one with a dent. I have one on the top of my boot.

    Dent friends.
  1515. #1515
    Ali hasnt put much money into his shell, to be fair, it was held together with glue and it was rusting to hell. So probably a good idea to shell swap it. And a new colour wouldn't go a miss I wouldnt rush to do it though, we got Malia to pay for tomorrow dude!

    its a beaut!
    mine does it on every ( high rev ) gear change and every down change with out fail and wont stop popping and banging until i dip the clutch in or stop haha!

    but i mean when i had the omex on my 8v the bangs were okay, but with the 16v in they are litterally like shot gun shots and its constant bangs!

    i only hooked it up because it was already there so thought may aswell!

    and i know the feeling!
    but yeah they gear change bangs are the best, but i do know what you mean about more annoying haha, does sound good like but just abit awkward as it doesnt stop banging and popping and i mean seriously loud bangs, not just crackles!

    always the best though when it does it past a bunch of old people at bus stops etc, the looks you get are priceless!
  1548. #1548

    honestly mate it is a pain in the arse!
    like not pot holes or owt but the curvature of road too, that causes alot of scraping! slight ridges in the road, slight drops in the road etc all cause it to catch on the manifold and sump!
  1560. #1560
    Yea the bolton abbey ones are a nightmare like. My problem is the manifold thats what i always hit, the original one took a right beating. My 4-2-1 hasnt done too bad for itself but thats what always scrapes.

    oh yes they are!
    and i dont mind hitting the manifold, as its the standard one, easy enough and cheap enough to change, but its the sump that im scared of!
    after every time i drive my car i check underneath to make sure i havnt cracked the sump!

    that sir is a plan, and any new designs, techniques etc as your good at that shit feel free to try on my engine bay!

    also, plans are!

    come back from malia, sort some monies out and sort out :

    - reabuild a vts/gti axle as mine is shagged
    - 4 new tyres
    - either reshell if i can find a cheap enough shell or sort out the wheel arches/side skirts if i dont reshell it

    and after some discussion with a lad at work we have planned to chuck a set of carbs on

    so:

    carbs, spark ecu and ph3's/708's


    should be fun

    oh yes! they are huge are those bastards, i proper take my time switching lanes cos i have to judge them just right to avoid hitting the cats eyes!

    and reallly? fucking m62
    im on that bastard 5 days a week, really getting fed up of it
  1596. #1596
    not much of an update, but hopefully should have one of those inox group n exhausts coming my way if all goes to plan!

  1602. #1602

    Lol this needs changing to "should of been my plan for a long while"
  1604. #1604
    it should of been yeah haha!
    just had enough of mine, want to start all over again!
  1605. #1605
    Clean shell and you should be sorted mate it's not like you can't do the work.
  1606. #1606
    thats all im after! and yep so no other expenses, doesnt have to have mot or anything as thats all easily sortable !

    but i would rather go for a fucked gti as its better on insurance rather going for another quicky and insuring the conversion and cannot be arsed with the hassle of swapping engines over etc, i know it aint a big job but ya know!

    i just want to start again, making it look good , then start throwing money into the engine with cams , cabrs etc as ive been wanting to that for a long while but just the state of the shell is putting me off!
  1607. #1607
    hopefully should have my exhaust on tomorrow lads
    its on a vtr'd quicky atm and it sounds amazing/loooooooud as fuck! never mind with the extra 8'vs

  1610. #1610
    If its the same bore as the 2" supersprints i cant see it being any more restrictive then them. I dont think they are..

    Not sure why they ant as popular. Kamracing mentioned something before but cant remember. They do sound cool although far too raspy.
  1611. #1611
    think the pipe is an 1" & 3/4 aint it liam?
    and they do sound freakin' awesome!
  1612. #1612

  1613. #1613

    Aww you wanker!!!!1

    West yorks police don't carry db meters. All they can give you is a producer with forced mot. So even if its too loud get the car in and get a 1 year standard exhaust from pages and stick it on.

    UPDATE:

    been a very productive day today getting car ready for fueled socitey tomorrow!
    as some of you may of seen at the bolton abbey meet, my side skirts and wheel arches were in a real state, half hanging off/held on by some white glue bollocks,

    So today, complteley stripped all arches off etc, cleaned them all up, and refitted them all nicely! took a good 5 hours or so with the amount of fucking horrible glue stuck everywhere!
    has completley transformed the look of the car, looks 100 times fresher/cleaner! very very happy with them!

    then got onto cleaning the car, all polished up and looks smart
    nice polished exhaust too... so after a full day of fucking about its all ready

    only got 2 or 3 photos which i shall upload soon!
  1665. #1665

    Do you get to drive the car properly like hooning it around back lanes etc due to it being so low?

    Wish I could insure 16v conversion :/

    back lanes no
    if the roads are abit lumpy i can manage ish by swerving round everything, but anymore than couple of cm deep dips then its a no go as the manifold just digs into the ground

    but, generally its alright to drive, just the most fun i have with it is on dual carriage ways and motorway slip roads

    and get saving

    Fair enough haha I live about 10 minutes from some amazing country lanes (Brecon beacons) so gotta make the most of them so can really go any lower than 50mm.

    I have been saving but to insure a gti with mods I'm looking at £180 a month so a conversation would cost more probably :/

  1717. #1717
    Well Sod's law says something wrong has to happen night before setting off to trax!
    So it did! Cut out on me , in te pitch black, pissing rain on a main road traced it down to the fuel relay so tried my mates on it and boom works so on a mission to pontefract to collecet one!
  1718. #1718

    Your car is never happy tbh.
  1724. #1724
    True! But to say since the conversion it has started without fail every single time! Until now!
  1725. #1725
    Hopefully you will make it to Trax problem free mate
  1726. #1726
    me too mate!
    and tbh since fitting the engine ive done near enough 6k miles in it without a single issue engine wise!
    only stuff such as driveshafts etc but nothing with the engine its self!
    starts up every single time and runs spot on until today!
    anyway i have a new relay on it and all is well! but i did try the old relay back on it and it ran again funnily enough!?

    Nope I reckon you can fuck the factory welds in the bay within 2-3 weeks with solid mounts.

    Takes a whole lot of prep work and welding to run solid mounts successfully without doing any damage especially in a old car.
  1733. #1733
    I did say Ali lol

    Maybe ott with the gbox mount and ecu one but something WILL fail lol.

    snazzy part though

    bedford is right mate who had solid mounts on his ax sport rallye car broke stuff within 5 stages
  1736. #1736
    Okay I might have to resort going back to the group N mount
    honsetly though the difference it makes is rediculousl! Something as simple as that!
  1737. #1737
    you'll see the difference when its just the ecu and gbox mount supporting the engine ha


    sell it on to a noob tbh.

    yeah but what you gotta think is that all the stress and vibrations the rubber/ urethane in the old mounts use to absorb and make into heat just goes directly into the chassis legs and when your talking about 10-13 year old spot welds holding the french tin together its not a risk i would be taking mate.

    well, what a disastrous car!
    spent freaking ages trying to fit this manifold, old one was off in half an hour but trying to get the new one up from bottom of the bay upwards took almost an hour! finally got it up there, bolted it all up etc, dropped the car down to find the flange sits nearenough the same level the original manifold sat at,

    but the manifold its self literally sits 10-15mm off the floor! pissed off to say the least, it took the freaking piss to do, then for that, but couldn't be arsed swapping it back so gonna do it tomorrow and the manifold will be up for sale

    it does look freaking awesome in the engine bay though!
  1759. #1759

    so then this happened -













    all done ready for work the next morning! although was too late to get any gear oil so it had to stay there till the night after work to get some
    its a 1.1 box that ive put on it, and fuck me does it go, especially compared the shitty 1.4 box that was on it!

  1776. #1776
    not too bad considering your bonnets wrapped.

    Parts are quite cheap

    Althought that dent you have on the side would be pissing me off slightly, werent you planning on re-shelling it?

    and tis indeed, but it is a healthy little engine!
    but like above doe it does have the c2 vts inlet, injectors and zeee cams !
  1819. #1819
    What does it handle like compared to the saxo/106? Keep it a reasonable height so you can drive it proper down the lanes haha
  1820. #1820
    Looks nice that dude! Sure iv seen it on the c2 forum too. Wanting a Lester rear valance myself, think they really suit the c2

    Tbh I havnt really pushed it through the corners dude as I don't have a 100% trust in the stretched tyres, especially on the back the photos dot really show it but there is alot of stretch!

    see two innit
  1824. #1824
    Yes brother Omar......init !
  1825. #1825
    bit of an update like!
    managed to get hold of some beautiful brembo 4 pots yesterday for a rather nice price of 170 so couldnt really complain!
    got me self some longer braided hoses, and went out and got some discs since they already had pads...

    after a trip to fucking wales and back to pick the calipers up i came to fitting them ( which may i add looked awesome! ) the bastard wheels wouldnt fit over them!

    gutted to say the least
  1826. #1826
    That's because you need 15" wheels and a pair of 20mn spacers
  1827. #1827
    I've got 16s on with 20mm spacers as it is, it's the depth of the wheels that are the issue, spokes sit against the calipers about an inch before the it's anywhere near the hub
  1828. #1828
    Change wheels?
  1829. #1829
    I'm gonna I've put mine up for swaps
  1830. #1830
    Bet the brembos will look great, need something like some team dynamic pro race 1.2s to show them off mate
  1831. #1831
    Yeah man they would look good! But after some vts alloys atm as they're cheap ish like !
  1832. #1832
    If my c2 was low enough I'd have swapped ya mate. Shame you'll have to get rid as they looked great!
  1833. #1833
    oh man!
    and they do llook good, but tbh i have been thinking of getting different wheels as these have massive stretch on the rear and i dont feel 100% confident flying round the twisties with them on haha!
  1834. #1834
    Yeah I can imagine mate, don't think I would either lol! Fancy a lester valance when I next have the funds
  1835. #1835
    yepp! and get one bought, they're the dogs bollocks!
  1836. #1836
    Gutted about the wheels mate. Reckon they'll look good under some td 1.2s !
  1837. #1837
    well, eventually after weeks of fucking about finally got the brembos on!

    bought some vts wheels, didn't like them on the car so took them back off, went out and bought some pro race 1.2's and the cunt I got them off reassured me they were 4x108, came to fit them and turns out they were 4x100...

    so ended up having to sell those on and luckily they sold pretty quickly!
    then some pro race 3's popped up, but then girlfriend fucking booked a holiday for end of jan so had to put nice expensive wheels on hold

    but then some popped up today, no idea what wheels they are, not in best of conditions but tyres are good so ended up picking them up pretty cheaply and after all me luck didn't think theyd fit but fuck me they did!
    no spacers, nothing just striahgt on! and clear the brembos by literally less than a credit cards width!

    they are going to be sanded down and re done in gloss black, and also the brembos are going red too!



    will get a photo of how the car sits tomorrow
  1838. #1838
    anyone got any idea what wheels they are ?! cos I need some centre caps!
    also ordered some shot gun shells to go over the wheel bolts , but first of all they are in dire need of abit of tlc, they'll be sanded down, filled over the curbing and resprayed in anthracite gray I think!

    but heres a picture of how it sits atm, not the best of photos but meh!



    any feed back?!
  1839. #1839
    decided today to give that tyre paint stuff a go and at 2.50 I thought why the fuck not!

    came out a lot better than I thought tbh but I ran out just as I finished the front tyres





  1840. #1840
    Was considering getting one of these how big they compared to citroen saxo vts seems smaller to me looking though the pictures.
  1841. #1841
    They're like roughly the same length ish I would of thought?

    Thanks for the local meetup. Still on the hunt for wiring loom lol. However managed to get the back light working on it for now. Just need get correct loom and get a time and date sorted with ya. Nice sound on the c2 too.

    And cant fking believe that dizzy bitch driving out went slam into the concrete post and drove off that was so un expected highlight of the night that to happen lmfao
  1843. #1843
    fair doos man fair doos, and ah yes that noise! you cant go wrong with that lumpy idle! and oh yes, women drivers eh!

    also painted the brembos red today, cant believe how much better they look now !

    photobucket is being gay though and wont let me upload photos, so shall attempt again toimorrow!
  1844. #1844
    Well got me loom and also sent pm you on here mate.
  1845. #1845
    ^^^ never received the PM dude? and ive just only seen this haha!

    also quite a few updates as it has been rather quiet in here!

    first of all the paint work on the car wasnt in the best of conditions every time i came to washing the car more paint seemed to peel off! and it got to the point when the car was nice and clean aall the defects made the car look rather horrible tbh!

    so last night it was dropped off at a body shop to have the paintwork sorted
    but also i had ordered a new rear lester valance and the one currently on the car broke and i had to plastic weld it back together
    so thats at the body shop getting done in gloss black and the wing mirors/wing mirror trims going gloss black too


    also i took the brembos off, prepped them and gave them a lick of red and banged some new brembo stickers on look much better in red and they stand out like sore thumb!

    and i also bought some new shoes for it too as the other wheels were disgusting and i didnt like them! so bought some 15" oz superturismos and had some 2.7mm spacers made in order for them to clear the brembos just by a piece of papers width!
    but one of the wheels is buckled so at the moment i have only the front two on and the buckled one is getting repaired on saturday hopefully

    and here be some pictures of the paint work






    shall get some photos once ive got the car back

    and here are some of the calippers





    half way through fitting a new wheel bearing as it was fooooooked!


    and the 2.7mm spacers i had made


    a couple of the new wheels



    also on saturday gave it a good clean ready for malton then squires cafe meet














    aaaaaaaaand there we go
  1846. #1846
    Looks good dude! New wheels suit it much better I think personally. Which bodyshop did you take it to if you don't mind me asking? Need a couple of touch ups on my c2 soon
  1847. #1847
    Spent a very long time going through your thread today, great pics and stories. Nice to see a couple of you from Hudd too! Sent friend requests, maybe we can meet up some time once I have done a little more to my VTR.

    Can't PM you and Sandy for some reason though :/

    very impressed with how hes managed to blend the colour in just right and how hes got the dent/scratch out of the wing and all resprayed, cant fault it!

    and also getting my buckled oz wheel repaird tomorrow so should hopefully have the back two on tomorrow

    more pics to follow
  1852. #1852
    Where did you get the work done and how much in the end?
  1853. #1853
    Bodywork looks spot on now dude! Lovely C2
  1854. #1854
    Rock body shop in brockholes , holmefirth mate
    And cost me 250 mate and had it back 3 days later so can't complain !
    And cheers man
  1855. #1855
    or do you mean who repaired the wheels?
  1856. #1856
    Small world this used to be my car !!! I put the spax on it and a few other bits and pieces !! Wow small world !!!
  1857. #1857
    Tis rather a small world eh !
  1858. #1858
    and a few more photos of some little bits here n there!

    got my wheels back from the place which sorted out the buckles


    and now how it sits! should look better once the wheels are gloss black!


    and also fit my new lester valance as the old one was broken
    off with the old
    cant believe how ugly it looks without it!

    and on with the new!


  1859. #1859
    Looking good, what's next for it?

    Sure I seen you looking for itbs not long back?
  1860. #1860
    Cheers man, ad wheels going gloss black next and a few other bits and bats,
    And I was yeah but on these c2's itbs are a reeet fucker I do want to do it but I'm just not sure I can justify 1.5/2k on it , that's my problem!!!
  1861. #1861
    I think the wheels should be white gloss or subaru gold.
  1862. #1862
    Not so keen on white wheels on blue cars, and that gold is a good shout actually but I think it would just look out of place?
  1863. #1863
    Give me a good quality photo of the wheels on the car and I can photoshop it.
  1864. #1864
    Shall upload some when I'm home !
  1865. #1865
    spent a a good few hours on cleaning it today and its come out pretty well!
    but yes the wheels could do with abit more cleaning before anyone points it out haha






  1866. #1866
    Without sounding like a mentalist.... I thought it was you driving through town! You stopped out side the bank but I went up round top Sainsburys. Your car smelt very very rich btw.
  1867. #1867
    Will of been me! and it does on idle yeah, but you know the idle sounds sexy!
  1868. #1868
    nice c2 ali looks very clean, and im sure many have asked but where did you get that rear defuser from?

    Also wheel color, maybe a graphite grey or something along the lines of the grey's.

    Cheers man, and from Italy dude, can't buy them here and no website sells them either haha! But I have an email address for a guy who can get them in
    Got it for 100 quid delivered to my door within a couple of days so can't really go wrong with that!

    And I'm thinking yeh dark grey would look good! But I think gloss black would compliment the wing mirrors rather well?
  1870. #1870
    little bit of an update as its been rather quiet haha

    just the other day my diff decided to explode after setting off from a set of lights which resulted in it destroying my new clutch and shooting the crank sensor straight out of the gearbox !

    with two biiiiig holes in the bell housing too which the council ended up having to come out to clean up the mess i made on the road


    but either way now i have nitrous oxide !

    set about it fitting it saturday night and i got half way through it but then left it for the night/the feed line wouldnt fit onto the full bottle but fit onto the empty one!

    so yesterday i managed to get an adapter made so now the full bottle fits

    got a few photos in the process but will get somemore in day light







  1871. #1871
    Well then last night got all the nitrous set up finished and took it for a test run, and fuck me does it go! A lot better than I was expecting! The power delivery is instant yet very smooth and gradual if that makes any sense?
    Theoretically it should be running now just shy off 200bho and a bucket load of torque!

    Very very happy to say the least!
  1872. #1872
    Get a video up mate.
  1873. #1873
    Got one dude but don't think it's appropriate to upload online!
  1874. #1874
    Fuck me dude! Get a fluffing video up don't be shy

    It transforms the engine Doesn't it!

    You got it fitted quick bud

    Btw how have you mounted the bottle? As I mounted it the wrong way so just a heads up incase you did the same - the pick up pipe is at the base of the bottle, So you want the base to be pointing to the back and the nossle pointing down so when your accelerating (at bare G's - lol) it all stays at the bottom

    And it fucking does! And also I've mounted it the correct way dude
    But yeah it runs epic man, so quick! Had a play with a focus st last night on a dual carriage way though, was about neck and neck while using nitrous, soon as I stopped using it I was left behind haha!

    only thing is from speaking to the main man at wizards of nos me car seems to be running a touch on the lean side! Especially with the weather being cold as it is it should be running richer than normal!

    You don't happen to know if the jets were messed about with by the previous owner or anything so you dude?
  1877. #1877
    Glad you're enjoying it bud! Yeah I changed the jets as it was jetted for 25hp.. So I asked Won what jets to use with 3 bar fuel pressure and around 750psi bottle pressure, they recommend what I put in for a 40hp hit.. Sure its a 40 nos jet and a 25 fuel jet. Whats the bottle pressure now? If its lower or you have more fuel pressure than 3bar, then it will be running rich not lean

    Easy to take jets out and the sizes are stamped on them, but it was set up for a 40 hp hit with 750psi bottle pressure and 3bar fuel.



    Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
  1878. #1878
    ah i see!
    and the jets in there now are 80 in the nitrous solenoid and 35 in the fuel solenoid, so that should be around 40bhp as its approximately half the number on the nitrous jet is what bhp you get but either way it seem to be running a touch on the lean side, BUT its still okay as its fine but abit leaner than expected for the current tempratures if that makes sense? but still within tolerances if you gt me? but we is alll goooood!

    but i didnt realise how quickly the nitrous gets used up!
    i think i may of used it in total for 3/4 minutes i would of thought and its all empty! :O
    but so much fun!
  1879. #1879
    Haha asif you've gone through that huge bottle already!

    I know! It didn't last long atall! I did a few 30-100ish pulls , a couple 30 to 70s and then that's it! Finished! :0
    and and and what plugs were you running in yours dude?
    1 user thanked this post:
  1881. #1881
    New standard NGK Rs fine on a 40 shot, just will have to change them more often.

    They recommend 1 cooler grade and -2 retard on ignition every 50hp increase - so I was happy with the 40
  1882. #1882
    Yeah man 40
    Is more than enough, I think engine is just on borderline of what it can take tbh on standard internals!
    And only problem I'm having is not being able to find non-projected tip plugs!

    WEW you gone NOS in that beast. Last I seen you done a fair bit to it when come to have wiring loom sorted but got that sorted now added NOS WTF how much you put into that project now guessing a good few grand into it.

    How you get so shinny on washing lol you using some magical formula and paint job lol
  1886. #1886
    Havnt posted on here in time! But hello everyone haha!
    Gone off French now that Im alittle older, and become more sensible so I've gone jap!

    So back in November I got my hands on a low mileage 350z gt😄 Was quite a transition from a c2 to this but I'm starting to get used to it after many arse twitching moments!

    Unfortunately after poking around underneath etc after I'd got it home and put it on the ramp at work I found two holes in each rear inner arch which then progress to be two rather large holes!
    Either way all welded up now so all is well

    either way, it's near enough standard. Has had the plenum spacer mod done, miltek y- pipe and an uprev map (done at abbey motorsport) and made 270bhp at the wheels on the dyno, not quite sure what that is interns of horsepower at the fly though?
    Anyway, here's some pictures!
