Not started a thread for a while - so i thought i would
managed to get a blitz bov and pipe from ausrotary ( not overly cheap - but it was OK - and only took 5-6 days to get here ! )
thought i would fit it today - not a bad job - about 30 mins - you spend more time getting the hoses loose and they always put the bolts on the clamps where you cant get a socket to !!
tried to start the car and it was flat as a pancake - stuck it on charge for a few hrs and just took her for a spin
backed it off the drive - roof down and away we went ( yes even in this weather its great with the roof down - still very warm although it was going dark )
the BOV works superb and sounds great :D :D
there is no real noise when the auto box changes gear - but if you hold it in a gear , foot down and build the boost - it sounds great as you back off
just need to get some more stuff sorted on the car - and it should be the same spec as the coupe i sold - i just need to get the decat sorted out and then i can chuck on the cone filter and new ECU for it ( should see a nice .9 bar ! )
Thanks for reading my boring post :D :D

So you got it changing gears properly then? Just remember the conversation at the Retro show that it wouldn\'t change gears quite like it should...
Nice to hear Stu. So you gonna be changing the intercooler as well?
So wat was the total cost for this modification then stu? He he he!!!!!!
the torque convertor is still iffy ( unless it supposed to be like that )
but yeah it changes up ok - you just need to be gentle - you cant just floor it - it revs its nuts off !!
although if you use the hold button - it will red line quite happy :D :D :D
the IC - dunno - bought a greddy elbow last month ( and some poly bushes ) - so might look at FMIC in the future :D
and colin - it was about £65 delivered - so about right - i think i paid about £90 from the one from the US for the coupe
Stu
Sounds good mate-you got a link to the site?
//www.ausrotary.com
its a great site - lots of cheap stuff on there :D
it wont make a noise because your not shutting the throttle during gear changes..
exactly - and you dont loose boost when the auto box changes
but when you do back off .. WOOOOSH :D
So Stu, this is the car that you were going to leave standard then? ;)
Told you, you\'d be modding in no time!
He had parts for it waiting in his shed before I\'d taken away the coupe.... :Giggle
yeah yeah yeah :D :D
it just need tweaking slightly - im not going mad at all ( i would like 250 fly and i will be happy ! )
just want to try and get the 100mph 1/4 out of it :D
