Best not mind ...

Nice motor. Could u take some pics of the induction kit. Looks neat and that is the next mod for me so getting ideas. Also is that quick shifter mod hard to install myself? Or Is it a professionals job lol.

I detailed it about six months ago... she only gets a wash every couple of weeks.

Good read this. Lots of well thought mods. Not just going for the most common or expensive parts. And obviously it's spotless.

Very similar spec to what I hope to have, just hope to add an intercooler. Hope to get similar numbers too.

 

[Mr OCD]

Thanks for the comments

FMIC and rear ARB is being done this Summer... But first I need new discs, pads and two tyres

Why the change to a fmic? What one you going for?

How much of a difference did you notice from stage 1 to stage 2?

To reduce IAT's which get very high when temps are above 15-20 degrees... I'm looking at a twin-pass setup to go on... you only realise you need the FMIC when you've been driving the car in Winter

Stage 1 to Stage 2 is not as much as going from standard to stage 1 ... but the downpipe, decat, exhaust, TIP, etc... all make the car pull harder but also makes the turbo spool up quicker.

Funny thing is I let the Wife using my car this weekend as I had blocked hers in so threw her the keys ... when she got back she mentioned she'd like more power from her own car...

Considering putting the old girl up for sale shortly. I just don't really use the car anymore
