Fuel pump went without a hitch yesterday which was nice and everything seems fine! :cool Just waiting on a fitment for the secondary rail then I can tackle the fuel rails - oh joy! :2Rolleyes

Quote from: interloper393that kakimoto exhaust really dosnt suit the car, plus is also cause very bad detonation in the engine.. should sell it asap bud :yes

Really? I didn\'t know that - better sell it then :p (you wish! :chat)

Ricco_04 · April 08, 2007, 11:06:52 AM

Oh the intercooler works out as near as dam it 3x bigger than stock plus more efficient & better flow. Well I say efficient, it needs some proper ducting so im either going to modify the existing or have a go at making my own up - I know which is going to be the easier option :rolleyes:

Loads of good work there mate...

My Dead Red is sitting Red and Dead again following gearbox disintegration, followed by electrical gremlins to alarm system...

Saw that you had swapped the exhaust as well..guessed you were going to when we were chatting at the pub!

Ricco_04 · April 08, 2007, 09:32:41 PM

Cheers matey :wave Yeah, the exhause is just a bit to meaty I think, so cant wait to put the Kakimoto on when I get it - it will still be big but think it will be better overall - was too much of a ball ache to get the tip changed from a rolled one etc

Can\'t believe the lack of luck you are having with your car

- have you manages to source another box - whats up with the wiring? :3Confused

khyber pass · April 09, 2007, 12:41:41 AM

Box sourced (cheers Brett

) and fitted..
then looks like the alarm system has failed...leaving car immobilised. Again Brett went along and managed to suss a short cut wire to kick start the starter..unfortunately, even that has gone tits up...

At least the car lives up to its name

With so many replacement parts, and an engine that has even compression all round, there shouldn\'t be too much else to go wrong...

can then get on with sticking on the bits I\'ve been buying...(unless I need to sell them all to pay for something else going wrong:) )

See you around when dead red is up and purring again

Ricco_04 · April 10, 2007, 03:27:04 PM

Well there is only so many things you can replace!

Hope to see you again soon bud! :cool

Ricco_04 · April 30, 2007, 05:01:59 PM

Well I finially brought something for the bodywork (after saying I would NEVER modify the car! :Giggle )

MMmmm, re amemiya. Love that kit. Gonna look mean with that fitted ricco. You gonna keep the red or go with a different colour?

Spen · April 30, 2007, 07:41:14 PM

Should look great when fitted mate. When you aiming to get it done for?

Thanks mate! :chat

I did want to put this kit on a yellow FD, for obvious readons

I have done a few photoshops for different colours and I like the mean look that red gives :cool Plus it means that the engine bay stays the same colour as the outside - not keen when they dont match

Not got a date in mind to be honest - I would really like to book a few weeks off work and just really get stuck into it :chat

I have already fitted the bonnet (ie me and tim - or maybe just tim :Giggle ) and the fit is damn fine. The rest shouldnt be too bad as it\'s no copy but for sure will need a fair bit of playing around with.

I actually cant wait now :chat

Cheers dude :driving

RotorHeid · May 02, 2007, 04:31:35 PM

difficult to think about colour, well if it\'s me, go for 787B\'s colour.
Keep the red and overcoat with green print / white strip.

Oh! sorry, FC!!

Ricco_04 · May 02, 2007, 11:16:39 PM

Sweet, love the FC :chat

I still havn\'t ruled out a dual paint job........

Ricco_04 · May 06, 2007, 12:40:46 PM

Bonnet went on a few days ago and the fit it flippin spot on. Seen a few bonnets where you can slide your fingers down the sides but the ReAmemiya bonnet is totally spot on - the only thing that lets it down is where my front bumper has sagged slightly but thats coming off soon enough anyway! (still need to fit the washer jet\'s too!)

Even took it up to Pip at WGT and had it remapped - have to shout about Pip, he managed to fit me in at the last minuite for mapping and he has given me lots of advise over the last few day\'s and has been one big help! Top bloke! :Thumbs-up :Thumbs-up :Thumbs-up :god

I have the MOT booked on Wednesday and I have got everything crossed that it\'s going to pass - just cant help being a bit nervous! :wiggle

Same gesture, welcome to the wide club

Will look awesome.

Ive seen a few in red. and you bought the best one in the 2000 model front IMO. Front is very smooth.

There\'s going to be a lot of nice cars around soon.

Here is some red inspiration.

I love the one with White SSR Type C and red bonnet

RE-A Kit fits great My last one was good.

Russ.
