You always have been lucky with engines lmao - how much the RR cost ya?

Been a lack of progress over the last week or so, mainly due to a s**tload of snow!
Need to find some archliners ASAP.

Have found the time to whack brand new clips in the skirt that fell off though, and I need to do the same on the drivers door, as one of the clips there is loose.

Got a Rolling Road day on the 23rd, unfortunately I won't have a 4-2-1 on as planned, however, I should have a standard mani without a cat, which should make a slight difference. The Supersprint will be going on too, both need to be done before that date tbh lol.

And the spec:
1.6 8v
Pipercross Induction
Magnex System (bleurgh)
Standard cat in manifold (more bleurgh)

Quite impressed, 4 up on standard after 10 years

Chris_429 · 23rd January 2010, 20:59

Quick pic from the day aswell... who said yellow was uncommon? lol

Azza-VTR · 23rd January 2010, 21:02

Saxo FTW!
Really bored of 106's in Nana

-shuggles- · 23rd January 2010, 21:13

have a soft spot for yellow vt's, did moving your induction kit closer to the front help any?change noise? got the same filter but need to relocate it or change it tbh

Chris_429 · 23rd January 2010, 21:21

Azza, why's that man? I love a good Nana

lmao

Shuggles, No idea if it changed anything tbh, only had it up the back of the bay for a day or two... should help a bit though, it's in the flow of cold air now

Azza-VTR · 23rd January 2010, 21:42

Nah I like the colour especially on the Saxo but I think the 106 is starting to become dead common in Nana lmao

Saaamon · 23rd January 2010, 22:06

Very nice.

Chris_429 · 24th January 2010, 18:59

Slight Update...

Had a bit of an incident with the Magnex today - it fell off all 3 rubber mounts!
As it's a heavy system, that I don't like and generally feel like it sucks performance, I decided to bite the bullet for the second time and just fit my old Supersprint.

And Christ knows why I didn't before!
I can already feel it breathing better, and for some reason it sounds great this time round, even with the cat still in place. Even looks OK after a little hanger bending - they need shortening ideally, but until I've got an hour or so to play about with it I'll leave it as it is.

Should be picking up a nice Janspeed manifold this weekend too - and hopefully fitting!

Quick pic of the Supersprint... nearly in the cutout, just need to bend the hangers a bit!

Chris_429 · 6th February 2010, 19:39

Right, just picked up a nice Janspeed mani, hopefully being fitted soon!

It's feeling a bit juddery at low speeds now though, don't know if that's just me though lol

Azza-VTR · 6th February 2010, 19:46

This car is gonna look the sex once finished

Let me know Chris if you decide to do another RR and I'll pop down - would be worth it to see this beast

Chris_429 · 6th February 2010, 19:50

We might be having a smaller one later on in the year actually, got a 16v that needs the head rebuilding that the guy wants to re-run, I wanna run mine with mods and Tom (Shortstuff) wants to run his quiky without a cat.

You'll see it at FCS etc before that though

either on 106oc or B4T stand, undecided as of yet.

Azza-VTR · 6th February 2010, 19:53

Can't make FCS unfortuantely as I'll be in Egypt diving the red sea

Will be at TRAX though if your going?

Chris_429 · 6th February 2010, 20:02

Yeah, definately there, was awesome last year
