oh right lol well ive bought a full 2-1/4 inch powerflow system for it and fitted it but its too loud for me i think and currently looking at a miami blue bonnet on egay for 99p!!
Leave the bonnet as it is - adds to the surprise!
But it does also ruin what is a very clean car etc, so with the bonnet the same Colour would look very nice.Quote:

not an update more of a spam lol not really done anything to her at all but drive it starts 1st time in the morning even in the cold with my diy choke mech lol think the carbs need balancing again as its lumpy on idle. Thinking about selling her but we will see!! Over and out!
If it's running lumpy make sure that the carbs haven't worked themselves loose on the rubber holders onto the inlet, mine use to do this quite often.
Also one of your jets maybe blocked.
You still got that exhaust system????

For sale?

So off came the turbo and the oil feed fitting broke off! I noticed it had been overtitened before and was wary if it was going to break and it did! Managed to get the rest out and hopefully get another asap!
So back up and in went the engine and all fitted up very easy to be honest!
Got all the tie bars bolted up but no shafts yet. Then my mate came round in his corsa let and showed me what went where water breather and boost wise.
Then trial fitted my intercooler and it will go in very easy aswell, ive got a few boost pipes and made up a diy kit with an exhaust tailpipe end i had lying around! Still needs cutting down to fit nice but it will do the job for now! Fitted 2/3 of the loom. Erm . . . loads still to do but loads done!!
Thanks to Jordyznova ,Sam and Philly Portman!
Piccys!! . . .

Have you moved the rad over ?
What IC is that? Seems quite handy that it fits inbetween the rad and the crossmember!!
Yeah mate had to cut the lugs off the bottom ive got to make some new brackers for it and the IC now but cant do that until the turbo and manifold are back on.Quote:
