Cheers dude, I'll pick some of that up and give it a go. It's a similar thing to Plastidip, just different branding.

 

It's definitely made a big difference to yours though.

 

I was thinking of getting a set of these mats, they look decent quality.

Can't wait to see it with the new engine fitted dude.

 

No doubt I'll be asking for advice when I get round to changing mine.

Been thinking of changing my engine a few cars back but i know that if i do, 1 - ill use more petrol, 2 its more expense and 3 the insurance would be voided unless i told em :sad: plus my engine is running fine and my spare one has a new head gasket/cam etc fitted so that one is ok too. Obviously the benefit is more power but i suppose something has got to stay original on my car. Cant wait to see the silver top in yours tho and its going to be very quick :smile:

modded a few of the pipes and a few things to get it all fitted . ( go in to more details later )

 

 

all thats left now is the wiring, fitting the downpipe and modding it to my exhaust and lets hope she fires up! (oh and best not forget to clean the fuel lines ! )

(no pictures as i haven't been down yet )

 

Thursday

 

wiring was sorted out and i think the exhaust was finished cant remember haha

 

Friday

 

all wired up and she ran like crap.. seemed to be she wasn't getting enough fuel (faulty ecu we suspected ) so it was either buy another ecu and hope is was faulty ( hard enough to find the first one ) so we ordered an adapter plate to fit the cvh inlet on and that should solve the problem
