Mine has a 7400 limiter at the mo - having standalone means I can change it just by plugging the laptop in.

Never really take it above 4-5k tbh - no real need on the roads driving about

miracle of having a pred :) even more excuse for me to get bike bodies on it all in due time :)

tbh tho with all your mods what is your car like for petrol consumption?

just as a reminder to myself i thought of a few things i need to get before starting my 16v project
list includes
12 months mot
angel lights
dual 3.5" backboxes
decat

I get around 300miles as the petrol light comes on

not the best then :y::drink:

Lol, 300miles to a tank is about right for me tbh - if I wanted fuel economy I'd own a diesel:p

lol yer i spose :)
upon looking at ur ecotec video i slipped accross ram/electric superchargers. unsure on how useful they are tho lol. ill post a thread out :)

Colourcode the bumpers, tint the rear light darker or buy mine, fit the Angel eyes and have my Bucket Seats ;)

im putting it thru mot, angels and a hid kit before moving onto engine. i want a racing wheel and show cage but unsure on buckets with stripped interior or gti leather :S

No the car wasnt clean but i popped down to a place to get info for a local rally day and couldnt help take some pictures of the scenerary :) a few might know where this is??

obviosuly im not sad enough to cvarry a camera around with me so unfortunetly you have somestoneage pictures to look at taken of a iphone :S








i also decided on some final plans that now include modding it to a euro style car before dropping a vts lump into it. therefore im after delocking the doors, cmoothing the ariel and rear badges and some deep dish alloys and prehaqps a spot of colour coding the whole vt kit before the vts lump. sorry speed fans!

cheers azza!
Ok so ive been a bit confuzzled with plans for this car. so far ive decided on getting it through the mot then moving to the styling s then dropping a VTS lump into it lastly

so plans for the looks are:
smoothed door locks and ariel
buckets and harnesses
supersprint race section
removing the dent on passenger 1/4 pannel
strip it. ie remove rear seats, sound proofing but keep the carpet etc in :)


then after that the spec i hope to run on a vts lump is
1.6 16v lump under 80k
unlocked ecu
p+p throttle bodie
lightened fly wheel
4-2-1 mani and decat

thats just to start with and will add bits as i go along. before dropping it into the engine tho i hope to replace cambelt, HG, thermostat, oil filter, headbolts and waterpump just so i dont have to strip it down at a later date.

fingers crossed vts engine will be ready by october????

whats it like haveing ya car this low is it a pane ??

back end slides out alot and theres no body roll, plus the ride is a killer feel every pot hole. i would reccommend it for a fun/fast road car that you have fun in at weekends but for a everyday driver its a killer. Hopefully this will be my weekend driver this time next year if i get a megane 1.9td or something for the communting lol. if you wanted lowering id suggest 40 if your driving every day :y:

Aftter what seems like ages i finally got round to fitting the new slam pannel brought for a absolute bargin. everything now works on the car including the bonney latch closing fully!!!!. now just going to get the car through its mot then fit a decat.

since having ive also added a GMC 4-1 manifold and uprated the speakers a bit.
pictures to follow :)

Lightly cammed? come again?

Lightly cammed.. Mild cams- the ph1 Newman I have in it :)

ok so since my last pictures ive been very busy

my old bonnets fibreglass snapped. so in the skip that went to be replaced by a new shiny carbon fibre one with a real meatl skelton for better support
i also uprated my noise box a bit with a GMC 4-1 manifold and my old exhaust of my peugeot my custom made backbox thats a bit knackered which is why its being held on my jublee clips :D
furthermore i still have the cat on. this is for the pure purpose of the MOT in 2 weeks but after ill be removing it :)

also sorted a few little niggles out :)

i like new bonnet!!!! need a widemouth at front and poss debadged or smooth boot to finish off.
loking good tho

ahh manby airfield!

brings back some memories of ragging pretty much anythin we could get our hands on round there in my youth :D

car looks nice mate, i like how low it is my old vtr used to be that low and never gave me any trouble down the B1200! lol. not sure on the new bonnet tho i prefered the old one

will completly agree there mate i think id like to debadge and widemouth it :) got a few things forst like dreaded MOT time!!!! :n:


aaa manby airfield lol. yeah pop up there every now and again and try to see what i can hit through the gates :)
as for the bonnets i think i like the old one. the fact that it was smoothed and quite liked and it cut accross the lights for a more agressive look :)
thanks for the comment matey :y:
