ok mate yh fair point :S. i dont rly wanna keep fogs tho :S. IMO they look to standard yet i love Saxo bumpers so wouldnt get a aftermarket 1 :S. Any ideas what to do with it??

But also ( i understand ur point just making a jk :P) if my car drove thru a ford itll be underwater instantly lol

lol, you'd need a snorkle !!!

lmao myt get 1 of those that 4x4ers have. acctually that is called a snorkel :S any ideal places where to run a cold air feed from??

if run one from just up the front of the car around the top of the radiator? Anywhere high up with direct air flow really tbh

get a roof scoop! :D

Fitting radiator tomorrow replacing with nissens as it sprung a leak :S

I'd definitely change the filter !! Easy to do when changing the oil !! Don't skimp on doing a good job :P

Completed some hard work today but ill keep it a suprise for a while ;) just suprise all you haters :P

Don't keep me in suspence Corey - me want to see lmao
Any luck with the lexus lights yet?
Corey - I should come down yours a couple of days one weekend and we'll get all your car claybarred and waxed - it will restore it to a nice shiney finish :)

Dids I read lexus lights?!

Yh blk lexus ;) n yh mate when ever your up for it probs sometime in new year??

saw this today and fell in love. on the downside ive spent all my dollar :( bad times

You wana buy it ?

yer probs lmao ;) get smooth boot with it. if they repost it in jan i will :)

You going to kit the rest of the car up to match? (in the future) as it might look a bit odd on a standard vtr ?

If im completly honest with you mate im not a fan of body kits. Future plans will probably be that spoiler, not to fussed about the tailgate tbh, erm 15" multi alloys in black or something, get a bigger exhaust and probably a rear splitter. aint got much plans sorced yet lol

Sounds cool, best to just keep you eye out for bargains on ebay !! Shouldn't cost mega £££ to get the car how you want it then !

hope not mate :) providing i dont get punched by another tree lmao

updated the new plans on the first page. also a mystery about my cars strength in accelration despite me thinking its standard. All written up on page 1 thread 1. any information appriciated

cheers

Youd know if you had TB's !! Pop a picture up of your engine bay if you want us to confirm it for you!

I'd say the engine was standard and just in better condition/you're a better driver hence being able to keep up. A 4-2-1 manifold isnt going to make one car quicker than the other tbh, especially on a standard engine.

Stadard yours is 98, and his is now 107 - not a massive difference tbh especially if his engine needs a service etc.

aaaaa ok then this makes a bit of sense lol ill pop 1 up tomorrow as i use my phone for the pics n it has no flash :S

just out of intrest tho how much is a TB and whats the power outcome?? cheers :)

Mate its all down to traction and how quick you can get the power down, milage on the engine, whether it needs servicing etc.
Its the bungee cord thats givin you the extra power :)
Mine feels a lot quicker since puttin the buckets in and sorting out my idle control valve :)

ull beat me this time lol. i wont hit past 30 ;)

Nearly sorted out my handbrake mate and I've got to buy a new ICV now and clean the Throttle Body out - should be performing right by then :)
May service it soon aswell even though it isn't due till March time

do it urself mate i did its a piece of piss :). changed my rocker cover as well so the engine will stop leaking oil. The dickhead previous owner reckoned he changed the oil. He did that all right but it was also over double the proper ammount in. i thought he knew about cars :S

thats bad tbh - engine should run a lot smoother with the right amount in it !

init. problem is tho after i strapped on the radiator i filled it up to "max" with coolant then ran the engine. Had a bit of white smoke out the back (condesstation?) i assumed as it hasnt been started in over a week. Then looked back in coolant bottle to find it half empty! could it have just put more coolant into the block or you reckon all that oil has blown the head?

That doesn't sound good mate :(
Could be an airlock - have you bled the coolent system properly - otherwise you may cause an HGF!

sounds like an airlock, keep topping it up until it goes down no more, open the bleed valves to get all the air out !

where are bleed valves??

usded guide on here to bleed the system. i also flushed it all so fingers crossed the temp should be ok now :)

Will look forward to seeing some pics of it back together !!! Fingers crossed !!

good luck mate

yh just headlamps and bonnet needed now :) opted for a fibreglass 1 to save weight. also looks good and was cheaper then the standard bonnets. for air ive popped some 15mm bonnet raisers on already with a cold air feed induction sucking just where the gap will sit :). For added secruity also purchased some bonnet pins although i dont have a clue how to fit these :S

ive also updated modifactions the car has all ready for when i get it back on the road :)

bonnet ive purchased (will fit it in this state with some posi blue citreon badge on front)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

nice bonnet !!!

I'm planning on getting a fiberglass bonnet and boot for mine when I've got some more ££££

cheers :) trying to upload the pic i got the idea from but photobucket playing up :S. I wouldnt mid a boot tho tbh :). i wanna go to a track day next yr some time and try it out lol. Ill just wait till someone drives into the back of me then i got a excuse lmao :P
