hokay so shes running an air filter, a 2.5 inch bore exhaust from the turbo back, free flowing, no cats. The stock ecu has been chipped with a RE-A chip which maps it to 0.9 bar boost and apprently has all the adequate safety features built in. The shell is in a pretty awesome condition underneath, some of it is still white :O
The List of things to come :D
Rear Polybushes (she NEEDS them)
Boost gauge
Boost controller (im quite scared about this RE-A chip so i might see if i can replace it with something, also after speaking to Mitch 0.9 bar sounds a bit too stressfull for car)
Re-sprayed Bonnet
Strip down interior
Lowering springs or fully adjustable coilovers
Welded diff untill i can afford an LSD
Strut braces and Sway bars
If anyone has any of the above for sale i would be muchos interested :D
I will also be paying to become a full MRC club member today, so brett you can stop with the abuse!!
:wiggle
\'gratz! :wave
...and yes, until I read the last sentance, the abuse was being prepared :Giggle
PAYED!! whoop
I presume we will be seeing a TII with a red bonnet on Forza tonight?
maybe, are you going to come out of your hole and actually play?
WHy not! Not on lates this week, so should be around :)
why not? errr because somehow i dont think the users of xbox live will realize that having a red bonnet makes it lighter :D also its not the most attractive thing!!
ah awesome, easy opponents tonight then!
did it have the strut braces front and back still with it? and the vented headlamp cover ? I have pics somewhere!
Paul
so how much was it then ???
no on both accounts.
was this your old car then? pics are good :D
I paid 6K back in 1998 ?
about 5 owners ago:Giggle
LOL

£1000
i know its more than £50, but i just had to :D
not bad at all really :D
Found a couple but more somewhere !
P.
nice one!!
deff looks a lot better with the lip
it needs to be slammed though :D
I remember seeing this car - JAE 2002 IIRC...?
i can remember seeing the left hand pic of the person looking scared to death in the passenger seat !
yep your both right, time flys
P.
Nice on DtheB. Now the fun really starts! So many more options to mod now (well easily accessible mods anyway). I\'ve been running 0.9 bar on my FC for the last year nearly and had no probs but it will stress the engine/turbo more.
Awesome purchase dude! White FC\'s are the way forward.. :)
I totally forgot about Forza.. me you and Brett need to catch up soon!
Sweet! Turbo a go go! Looks nice man! I too need some boost related safety featuers! Lol! And a little diet interior wise!:Giggle

hmm.. one of your fav phrases..?!?! lol
i will have stock uk ecu (N380 i think it was) up for grabs and fcd if you wanted to replace the re-a ecu.
you got a FTP missing.. is that to let more air get into the cone? if so its on the wrong side :Giggle
PS nice find.. white is NICE!!! but red ones r still faster :p
you got HID\'s on that? whats that lil box next to the air filter?
cheers for the comments guys :D White is deffo the way forward, i will also soon be getting an arcade button from retro boy. way
oh the ECU is stock, it just has a RE-A chip.
err not sure about the box actually. The red tube goes to the bov/recirc could it be some kind of sensor? The car has a AFR meter which doesn\'t work, maybe it was plumbed into the wrong place?
oh...and everything needs to be slammed :D
oh and they\'re not hid\'s they\'re uprated bulbs :D

not that black box... thats the pressure sensor (think thats wot its called)
the one between the cone and the headlight.
bronze bracket.. silver box. (thought maybe was HID thingie box)
thinking about it.. i think i kno what that is.. well.. where it used to be.
with the vented headlight cover water falls into the engine bay n think that box used to be directly behind the headlamp, thus water would get all over it, n now its been relocated to wont get wet.
cleaver idea really.. think i should do that also.. electricity and water dunt really mix too well :rollin
Quote from: BBCFC;583007bronze bracket.. silver box. (thought maybe was HID thingie box)
That\'s the dip/dim resistor - it puts headlights on dim when you select sidelights and have engine running - European cars only.
hmm.. interesting...
thanx prof
haha its not a bronze bracket :D
