I think they are pretty much the same really...not an expert on the engines!

Anyway, I never really bothered to update stuff so il summarize a quick update:

I replaced my variable valve timing system, and i can feel the car pull a lot quicker.
also removed the soundproofing so i can hear the dumpvalve sound better.
a wee vid of the dumpvalve sound Here

and compiled a vid a while ago on my first trip to crail, Here


iv got a few stickers on my car the now.

since its been nicknamed mango by almost every girl i know,i thought id get a wee sticker for it;

so... at my house last night and i'd been watching "The Cube". There was a youngish lad on it called Fasial, who's mum commented on how much money he spends on his cars.
I said to john what an unusual name it was and wonderd if it was you off of here long shot i know but i've only ever heard of two Fasial's, 1. You 2. the guy off of "The Cube"

so Fasial were you on "The Cube"?

i know quite a few Faisal really, (pronounced Fesil - like Cecil with an F)

so it could have been anyone, what car was it?any idea?

 

[cap r 225]

no idea what car he had, it was just a passing comment.

I wouldn't have asked but seeing as john put me on the spot i had too, the guy was a bit of a prat actually so it's a good job it wasn't you, lol

lol yeah, just going to get my bushes done next. ordered the rear TT bushes, and Powerflex for the front bushes,dogbone mount and steering rack bush too. then get some new tyres by the next crail day

 

[Faisal]

Wee update.

spent hours taking the rear beam off to replace the two bushes, only to find out that the bushes were too small...wasnt a complete waste though,as i discovered that the bushes have already been done before i bought the car.

later i got the powerflex bushes, so managed to replace all the wishbone bushes, as well as the dogbone mount and the antiroll bar bushes without having to drop the front sub frame

however i cant manage to fit the drop link bushes since the standard ones are like ball joints but the ones i received are actual bushes

not managed to do the steering rack bush yet though.

at the same time, got dot 4 racing fluid in, and took the car for a test run with some new tyres. car feels more solid and responsive

 

[Shaunyboy]

Why not paint your wheels in Renault antracite, hard paint to get hold of unless you know code and who can mix it which i know both, got a tin of it here so if you want the info give me a shout.

 

[Faisal]

that looks great shaun, i was thinking of either diamond cutting my wheels or getting them done anthracite, still undecided on them really.

just getting some more handling mods done, and some silicon hosing, then il look at the wheels properly and toss a coin most probably lol.

just removed my foglights for more air to the intercoolers, going to replace my maf next, do the N249 bypass, and get the boost hoses as well as the strut braces fitted for next week, turn the timing up and then finally a decent set of coilovers

 

[MadFaz]

hello my fellow Faisal! loving the car, looks awesome
