chris_90 106 derv project xsi rep, turbo NAD ;)

[Chris_90]

Bit of an update car went to garage this morning had new front pipe as the old one had a nice hole in. exhaust is now all sealed up, not sounding great tbh but i wasnt expect it to being a derv. Got the back box leveled up now so it dont hang to one side also wind deflectors come so go them straight on :-D




comments welcome :-D

Bit of an update not much happening with this tbh fitted to clear indicators as mine were very old and frosted



Also fitted the K&N filter that i had off the d turbo


Thats about it, Did a run to Essex 315mile round trip yesterday and got 67.7 MPG well happy with that been getting around 52mpg around town, saving me a fair few quid compered to the old d turbo..... All tho im so bored of putting my foot down and going no were think about adding more fuel see if it makes any difference or not.

Comments welcome

Bit of an updated, took k&n off as the noise got on my nerves and dropped the mpg, Today i got on with cutting the aches and fitting them will let the pics do the talking




Was getting ready for rain as it went dark but it never came lol







So thats on just waiting for the tiger seal to dry, didnt use that much i screwed the kit on mainly just the front archs had most of the tiger seal on as there wasnt any were to screw them.

Bits waiting to go on are some brand new number plates
Lowering springs
Gloss black vynial for the roof
Powerflex lower engine mount

Need to save up and get rear lowered tempted to get a gti axle tho and swap them but not sure yet

Also if any one can help the car sits a good 10-15mm lower on the drivers side than the passenger side what could be causing this? worn shocks?

Comments welcome

Ruined ( Flat arches are far better

tbh i liked it as a flat arch and was gonna keep it a flat arch untill i removed one of the bump strips and it marked the paint worked and stood out a mile so decied to carry on with the xsi rep approach

[ezb]

looking cool as f*ck, now get it on its ring!

[ginge191]

Those arches look smart!!! awesome work!!

[Chris_90]

Thanks guys needs lows measured it and the passenger side is 50mm higher!! Than drivers side so no idea what's going off there can any one shed some light on it??

[samass]

Probably just tired beam/springs. My old one used to do it. Lower it and it should be fine.

Oh hope it sorts it out once its lowered, Got some more pics now just put new plates on, can really see the difference in height






Just had a go on photo shop at lowering it


Doubt it will be this low when i actually lower it but looks good i think

[Dum-Dum]

Needs a de-cat

[Strikeforce]

Arches look so much better
Starting to look good this now keep up the good work

[1616six]

Once you get it lowered this will look epic. Honestly when you got it I had to lol that you flogged the hdi and ended up in this but now I love it, wouldn't mind it as a daily along side something fast!

[samass]

Hey man, these nads can be pretty rapid!

Yer weren't great when i got it, think i made a bad move selling the hdi but i still stand by what i said it was boring to drive and really dont like electrics all over the engine, simple mechanical engine is the way forward Also i wanted one of these before i bought the hdi so i got what i wanted. Would be great to have something rapid against the side of this because it would work as the money you save driving this 50+mpg mega cheap to insure etc etc hopefully once ive finished modding this will be able to save up to get something faster but will have to see how i get on with this, tbh surprised ive kept it this long

Hey man, these nads can be pretty rapid!

I wouldn't use rapid and nad in the same sentence but they can move when ragging the fook out of them.

[Midnightclub]

[Chris_90]

like you've said, bit lower to remove some wheel arch gap and your on to a winner

[306carter]

Looks good man. Needs wing mirrors painting.

What's your plans for the interior?

Thanks mate, yer once it's lower should look a load better

Looking for Xsi seats/door cards or s1 rallye seats don't really want gti half leathers as they cost to much for a mint set I would be worried about wearing them down or ripping them lol tbh not in a rush to sort them tho as focusing on the exterior at the min

[Eeyore]

looks tidy. Not really a fan of flat arches. Needs moar lows!
