yer been thinking about what you said about the engine upgrades :(. any cheaper mods that'll hit me on the door of 120bhp by april??

raunchz 3rd December 2009 17:06

urm..... could try a 25bhp shot of nitrous? Still could be expensive though to get setup properly and fitted etc.

Gaining bhp isn't really 'cheap' tbh.

Ideally I'd just hang off and try to save for some engine mods tbh. If you bought a vts engine carefully, could get all the bits, and it fitted for £500-£600 if the right one cam along. Could do it for less if you fitted it yourself, nothing too difficult about it

Umm i c where your getting at with the VTS engine and TBH its a good idea. however i only have mild engine knowledge. Most of it with me lies in exhausts and electrics in cars having fiddled round with my last car quite a bit lol.
TBH tho if i got a vts conversion isnt there the hastle of having to upgrade the insurance, brakes, gearbox, etc etc. I was just thinking of cams as i can get some heavy duty servicing done whilst it was being done. Etc as you said waterpump, timing belt HG, etc, etc. And if im not mistaken arnt newman ph1 cams not require a remapping of the ECU to gain there power? However i don't know if they're absolutley wank or what. whats the adverage BHP increase in a pair of P1's compared to p'3s as so far ive noted p3's are a extra £400 including the rolling road, remapping, vernier pulley etc

unsure if my pas pump is buggered will post pic in asec if anyone wants to check which type it is as it stopped working

xxo0pko0xx 3rd December 2009 19:33

the crossmember could do with a straighten and the rad is held by custom made brackets :). However its all sturdy so happy days.
Is now fully serviced and i painted the rocker cover and changed over the gasket. :).

ALSO SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING WHAT TYPE MY POWER STEERING PUMP IS. HERE IS A PIC IF YOU KNOW PLEASE MENTION IT SO I CAN BUY THE CORRECT ONE. CHEERS


xxo0pko0xx 3rd December 2009 19:35

with the bonnet (link above) tyhat i am buying thats still in the post -.- i tend to make it look something like this. obv without the body kit



i like the idea of the saxo badge just breaks up the blandness of the bonnet. Its seeing this pic is the reason i brought it tbh :)

not sure of it on posi blue tho :S

Thoughts??

raunchz 3rd December 2009 19:37

Car still doesnt look too right tbh!!

I'd try and get that bottom crossmember straightened out!! Get a nice bar under it and straighten it using this.

xxo0pko0xx 3rd December 2009 19:50

lol :) :P

raunchz 3rd December 2009 19:54

yeh, I'd try and get it looking a bit more standard than that!!!

Can rent a welder from hss if you need one - is good to have a contact with a welder though to save some £££

Azza-VTR 3rd December 2009 20:11

The fibreglass bonnet would look mental in black on a posi I recon bud - definately will need the chevrons though mate too pull it off imo
I need to get around to doing my rocker cover as its getting a bit rusty lmao

xxo0pko0xx 4th December 2009 10:04

Yh save some £. Luckily my stepdad taught me who is a welder yet he doesn't have one of his own :( Aaron thx z4 comment and hope ur rite. Hopefully will find some nice aftermarkets in black soon to pop on :) would contrast quite well then :). Just awaiting the smoked headlamps now as I broke all clips on my other ones during the crash :(. Thinking of some rainbow sidelights for posing pics??

xxo0pko0xx 4th December 2009 10:05

raunchz 4th December 2009 12:44
