cool coll thanks mate, just wondering as all my mates went with the bridgeports on there 12 and 13b NA's ... they were all in rx2 and 4's so could be a classic car thing or something
Its more common in the OLD SKOOL's for sure. The N/A route is just a half way point to the final project so i'm going to test the water and see what happens. Ultimatly i will be using 2x GT3071R's on the PPort and that will see over 600bhp
Righty a few more bits done today, Have dona all the rear Sephical bearing, and JIC hard tie rods are in. De-ct is now on (Tim stuck it in whilst the car was at RX Motors.... hey saved me a job ) New Kakimoto twin rear cans are on the car..... lurvely sound they do produce Will get some pics up tomorrow as i'm hiting the pub now I'm awaiting on funds to clear through my account so the next satge of tuneing can go ahead on the engine ....
hey people a minor set back funds never cleared in my account!!! but only a set back so the peripheral port in unfortunaly on hold for a while. I was hoping to have it done Aug in time for Rotorstock but now not likely. I have thrown a set of Teins HA's on the car as one of the HKS ones has blown a seal (only rear left). The teins are merely to get me out of a spot of bother personally i hate teins.... cheap and not very well built at all IMO. So hopefully they wont be on there long.
What kind of difference does it make taking out the second row of butterflies? and is it just a case of sealing up the holes left by the bar with some metal sealant?
It just stops disruption of air flow. I'm not saying this is the worlds best mod on its own but if you look at the picture below you will see that the pipe work for the Induction kit is nobily as where the pipes on the intercooler... thats alot of air bouncing around in different directions instead of one smooth flowing line.... The car is running a few degrees cooler that before and it just feels smoother in general. {} Its better to tap and plug the holes left with a bolt but yes i use chemical metal.
Few pics nothing too exciting just the bits added past week or so old filters {} new ones {} Old exhaust : {} new one: {} {} new BOV as the old was leaking. {}
Cheers buddy, unfortunatly funds have become a little tight so i have had to slow the project down... MORE WILL COE SOON
Hey people, i have had no time to do anything major to the car at all.... Here's a couple of pics of the New Drift/Circuit Tie rods. They are loner and much stiff, due to thickness, that the stock ones. They also give more angle. Very easy to change. You just have to be patient with the rubbers on the steering rack... unless you get new one thn you just cut 'em off :chat Old ones {} {} new ones {} {}
Right URAS kit turned up Yesterday looks awsome. The fit and build is superb it must be said. Heres some pics of the test fit: front end {} front with skirts {} {}
Manged to get started on the paint for the car. Moving slowly but surely along: Prep work for the car and outer details removed {} {} after the red had gone it was too late in the day to start messing around with the black do i decided to start flatting down the red. Only did the door bonnet and front wing which came up like so {} {}
Given that rainy ays have been unpridictable i stoped flatting the red and did the black, {} {} now i have pretty much a whole car to flat and polish up but this gives and idea of paint scheme {} {} Now back to the flatting! will post finished pics as soon as i can
That looks really good mate, I like it a lot. The GT kit is beautiful! You need some new wheels to really make the most of that aero now.
Outstanding colour choice. I love the split behind the door. The Aero kit is awesome and really sets the car off. Can't wait to see some pics of the car finished. Really nice work. Carlos
