[Frosty]

Looks great mate! Liking the pipe route

[Poodle]

Looks tidy dude, I need to get my act together if i'm ever going to be able to keep up with you two lol.

[c.gerrard]

Cheers guys

Haha, poodle, you're already too far behind mate, there's no hope!

Here is my Jeremy Clarkson stealth spec bumper

   

[Frosty]

What did you do about a screen wash bottle?

[4WayDiablo]

I don't understand how people have so much issue getting one of those size fmic behind the bumper!
Mine sits nicely behind and not hacked it up

The car looks bloody good when cleaned! Good work :-)

[mr_fish]

good looking setup there!! still need an exhaust like yours though

[c.gerrard]

Nothing at the minute, will cross that bridge one day. I'm fine running without one for a bit.

Cheers mate, mmmm, I'll have a read through your project in a minute and see how you've routed yours then. Not a chance in hell of moine going on!

Everyone does But if everyone did, then no one in the world would get any sleep

Got some colour coded hoses sorted

   

[devils_fuel]

It was a hdi air box yeah. Fairly easy, I had to chop the battery tray a bit and a bracket would need making up, so could be done. Never got that fully sorted and now that there's intercooler pipes going through, it didn't quite work out.

Can you pm me a bit more info ie what parts you used etc, rather than spamming the thread? And yes I'm lazy just need to know what do and what to get before I waste monies etc cheers

[c.gerrard]

Well, the car has now got an 11mm fitted. It still needs a bit of tweaking to get the most of it, it's far too clean at the minute.

Definitely interested to see how much power it's producing at the rolling road meet!

It was quite a proud moment, everything I ever wanted to do and then some has been finished (engine wise). It's just a matter now of maintaining all the little issues and keeping on top of it all.

Just strange thinking back to all the times when I wanted to give it up and now how it's all been worth it

Next area that needs some serious attention is suspension. The car was spot on untill I put some koni's on the back. Completely upset the handling of the car!

[Piggy]

well done chap

[martyn92]

Sounds awesome how does the 11 mm feel?

[c.gerrard]

Its changed how the car feels to drive for sure. Well after how foooked thr old pump was, a stock 9mm woukd have been a a nice change

It seems to be making more power for less psi as well, which I'm still trying to get my head around fully!

[Piggy]

well it should do...more fuel going in for more bang per psi!
bet its woken up that td04 now

[Mattcheese31]

really liking this car mate, first time i've properly looked at this thread, well done . . .

[c.gerrard]

I guess when you put it like that.

Yeah it has done. It was like a monster before, now its like a monster on ecstacy

Cheers mate, , its been a long old road to get here

[Dean]

I need some 11mm love in my life. Scrapyards are calling my name....

[martyn92]

Where/how is your intake? Cant work anything out on mine

[c.gerrard]

I'm in the same situation mate.

We've tried on a number of occasions to get it sorted and there always seems to be an issue that brings proceedings to a halt.

Only way it'll seem to work is if you come off the turbo with a 90 bend, come up over the cambelt and then across. I haven't got any covers atm, so once I have some on, that's how the routing will probably end up

[martyn92]

Ah right may work for you having fmic as you can then remove the bonnet lining giving you more room.
Hmm... did the fmic make a big difference? It's changed massively from Europe haha.

[c.gerrard]

It's made a difference for sure yeah, but it's hard to say much of it difference it ACTUALLY makes. Worth doing though, especially on my set up.

Yeah haha, the state its in now is what I wanted for that trip. Funny how long these things take!

[Dean]

Move the turbo to gearbox mounted , sorts the intake problem out, can have it anyway you want

[c.gerrard]

Well, it was with great regret I chopped my bumper

But, it's looking good, so it was worth it.

   

Next up some coilovers. I was thinking about getting some decent shock absorbers, but for the price it will take to get everything sorted properly, it kind of makes sense to go down the coilover route.

[martyn92]

Dont look too bad that Will be good to see it at the rr meet!

[devils_fuel]

Is that a ph3 splitter on the front? Looks good mate, such a shame you had to lose the fog lights though

[c.gerrard]

I know, I quite honestly felt so bad doing it, but I had little choice!

Erm, I'm not sure what it is, I got it off Samass a while ago and was under the impression I was getting a laguna one, but it obviously isn't It's a nice subtle one though.

[devils_fuel]

I could be wrong...I bet I am don't look like a guna to me

You a ph2 lover or hater?

[c.gerrard]

Lover

Just with it being Sigma and a phase 2, it made it all the more special to me. I can't think of many others out there, I think Darren's got one, but apart from that, don't really see many of them.

Hence why I didn't want to chop out the fogs.

[devils_fuel]

Everyone loves ph1 or 3, I thought it was only Airey-fairy and myself you liked them. Puglove was being converted then it died

[c.gerrard]

Airey-fairy's car was/still is stunning. I keep meaning to pop round to his and see what the crack is with him and the car!

Yeah , maybe we should have some kind of phase 2 intervention. A car meet with just phase 2's, that is if I'm still allowed?

I've not heard from Mark for ages but then again he's the other side of the world from me

Ha ha so true not many left now , is 4ways still a 2 or 3 now?
