Xe 45's Alpha & ATB - looks like the new owner got his wish & got the inside painted too - I was there when you were trying to chat Grom into doing a deal. Always a deal within a deal…

…Or did you have to get it done elsewhere at a later date?

Did he sell just the shell?

As i think the guy i was talking to said it was just a std xe now.
Does look good on those rims.

Autovaux do them Ad. They also supply the shorter bolts needed as well. Just got a kit myself... very reasonably priced. ;)

Adam, i got mine from a local auto parts supplier (sure parts) over the counter along with filter as well.

As for bolts im using m6x20mm with a washer so theres about 18mm going into the bottom of the block, but used the original two that bolt right through near the oil pump.

Any way!

Good news.......

My cars A OK lol

For some reason i decided to go give it a look over tonight when i got home from work, and i started poking about and then noticed what was wrong as to why the car was running like it was on 3 cylinders etc)

So it's not a dodgy plug/lead/or injector, was something really simple and so so silly!

The little spring clip that holds the throttle butterfly's all at the same amount, the one in the center of the pic, it had some how come from how it's sat now and was sat with the bottom part of the clip on the arm of the butterfly, so cylinders 1 & 2 was open about 3-4mm and others were set correct, so it was not idling right, and was trying to draw more air into 1 - 2 under acceleration!.
So i manged to just open it and place it back into the right place (as it is now) i have no idea how it got like it, but it's now running fine!
OK it was a silly thing, but dam im happy! lol
