Looks good fella,how much are the forge tips to buy even if second hand.

 

[CraigW]

Car looks good mate. What Dotz wheels are those and what size if you dont mind me asking?? I quite like those in the gun-metal/anthracite/grey colour.

Think they would look good on my white car

Hi all this is my pride and joy, bought it about 3 months ago and before had a MK2 Fiat Punto 1.2, bit of a jump and its a hell of a car, always gets good remarks

The week i bought her

accept for having standard wheels

When i bought her she had
forge split R
some sort of remap (think stage 2 hits bout 1.4Bar boost)
longlife cat back exhaust
Cupra R style gauges for boost and oil pressure
bonnet lifters
samco red hose kit


Tires were on the legal limit on the front so got a set of Dots for her

Then ended up a week later in Devon car show where i met Myki

to his recomendation I got Forge TIP and some new vac hose, also a jetex cone filter

and fitted the oil pressure sender finally

turbo009 - Um i paid around £120 for mine new from forge i think, but i think theres some second hand ones about, try ebay. quality bit of kit, you get a big increase in spoil up noise from it sounds awesome!

Cruiser87 - there 17" dotz radiums, they look great when on the go as well with the polished lip and gray centre

need better tires though on them , thats next month lol

 

[Righttoe]

Did a few more bits and bobs, had the car detailed by a mate and paint finish looks great, looks pinky in some pics but its just my phone camera **** lol

next was a set of AP Coilovers from venom motorsport, fair play great service from them and great set of coilovers, nice ride as well!

before

Fitting

After

couldnt get jack out after without argos catalogues lol

Then had a cold side relocation kit and moved airfilter towards wing

 

[Righttoe]

and then the N249 bypass thing lol

Before

After

Also had a new set of bonnet lifters because old ones were knackered

got a LCR splitter, and had camber and tracking down to finish off the lowered look

 

[Righttoe]

Some better pics of car

Just got paid and ordered 20mm rear spacers, some silvertec indicator bulbs cos my orange ones are knackered, new oil pressure sender because mines buggered, and on monday will be ordering a universal intercooler!

Bring on next week

 

[Righttoe]

Also took a quick little vid other night, sounds nice in it

What you guys recon about the universal intercoolers on ebay? most people seem very happy with them, cant afford a forge although it would be nice, also car is running about 1.4 bar of boost, my local performance garage reccomended getting a intercooler, which i am, but said i should get the fueling looked at as it is littely to be underfueling??

any advice on what to check, and what to upgrade to make sure it dont go bang running 1.4 bar of boost, i have VAG.com if that will help

Cheers

 

[turbo009]

Righttoe thanks and nice short video. uni intercoolers i think a few people on here have them i think i am going to buy one next year- like you would like the forge but a bit expensive at £600 ish.

 

[gregorcupra]

Very nice !

What pipe has been blocked off in this pic ?

 

[Righttoe]

well i followed a thread guide on here on how to do the N249 bypass thingy(getting rid of all the crap ontop of engine), and there was a pipe going down to the actuator from all the crap ontop of the engine that the guide said wasnt needed and just to block it off, most people on here have done it so i hope its ok lol

 

[rogers]

wot filter r u running?

 

[Righttoe]

A jetex cone filter

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Its coming along nicely now mike. Nice job on the relocation aswel

 

[Murdered LCR]

mate i have an lcr but want to get rid of the **** on top of the engine how did you do it .. i have done the n249 by pass but all he crap is still there as it need to be plugged in

 

[Righttoe]

Cheers Myki yea its starting to get there lol

Dan - unplug the N249 and the other one, N112? or something like that, anyway, unplug both of them, then cut the plugs off the wires, get yourself 2x 330ohm 10watt resistors from somewhere like maplins electronics (bought £1 each), they recommend 10watt, but my maplins only did 3 watt in that ohmage and they work fine, the wattage shouldnt matter anyway. solder the resitors across the wires of each plug so it makes the ecu think the valve is still there

Job done lol

Mike

 

[wise_crak]

nice car!
coming along nicely!
much further ahead than i am on my mk3 haha!

Wisey

 

[Reuvers]

mate you're really cracking on the car. Looks good. Still looks kinda pink in the pictures but sure its down to the camera.

Question, looks like you have the splitR DV in the pic, and I heard that it sounds absolutely shite when relocating it. I also have the SplitR and want to relocate it, but not if it sounds worse...

so how does it sound? (don't have sound with vids at work, and vids never really portray sound properly)

cheers

 

[stani540]

your cone looks tiny mate whats its bhp rating?

car looks great though, what do you think to the ap coilovers?

 

[Righttoe]

Reuvers - I heard that about it sounding shite when relocated, so i was going to do the relocation then get a turbosmart, but im happy with it, after doing the N249 and N112 bypass, and the cold side relocation it was much louder and smoother, proberly not as loud as a turbosmart but it did get louder, it proberly depends on the boost ur running to, mines on about 1.4bar and gives nice sound. yea think its still crappy camera making it look pinky cos some of the red hoses look pink and they r bright red!

steni540 - yea it is a we bit small lol, but its got a bhp rating of 230, i thought it was the biggest one jetex do in a cone filter, not sure now tho lol
as for the AP coilovers, fantastic quality for the price, easy to adjust and fit, took about 2 hours to fit all 4 but little while to get it sitting at right height, and the ride is great, not massivly smooth but ive been in alot worse, and nobody has complained yet!
