Big difference

Ahh so it was the S bend that you were missing... glad you got it sorted

 

[Mo Arif]

The result:

T clamps could do with tidying up but that's last on my list, everything is secured, tightened up as much as possible without snapping anything.

Everything back on:

Looks ace! I'm really happy with the overall effect, Ignore the air feed, it's temp, I'm going to get 3" black air feed pipe and fit it properly flush

All done!


Verdict? well apart from the missing part pissing me off (and I had every reason to be pissed off) this is a really well put together kit, relatively simple to fit (provided all the parts are there), looks the nuts! Highly recommended.

Not been out for a test drive yet?

That's a very secure and tidy job, props to you

 

[Mo Arif]

Thanks mate, I always give it my 100% when messing around with car's, even though I'm not a mechanic, far from it, I work in the I.T sector.

I took it for a wee drive to shell petrol station, V-Power'd her and gave it a little bit on the way back, it was very wet, kept spinning in 1st, 2nd and 3rd! will take her for a spirited drive tomorrow!

 

[Mo Arif]

Sits very nicely under the crash bar, measured up and aligned:

Forgot to mention, original inter cooler is a pig to remove, well the piping is anyway.

 

[Mo Arif]

I made a little, well simple pipe fitting guide for this kit:

Hope it helps.

Fantastic result in the end Bro, when I get mine ill pop down to Brum and you can fit mine eh?

 

[Mo Arif]

thanks bro, lol as long as you have all the parts! I don't see that to be a problem.

 

[oldskool]

so after the TIP , you going stage 2?

 

[Mo Arif]

well I'm still deciding about the TIP, I've read mixed opinions about the TIP on a LC here, apparently only the LCR benefits from it, not a LC

 

[kineticz]

That's a good little guide.

R33f I'd highly recommend a TIP when getting a remap.

 

[Mo Arif]

I knew someone would say that! lol not looking forward to fitting one of those.

 

[Murdered LCR]

There easy to fit , I would change every thing you can before a map more you change better the car will be

 

[Mo Arif]

other then the TIP what else should I change for stage 2 that I havn't already? I might get a Forge 007p for the sake of being on the safe side and give her a full service

 

[kineticz]

Uprated downpipe and decat/sports cat is a must.

 

[Mo Arif]

Dude ain't you been reading my thread? that's the first mods I done! lol

 

[kineticz]

Nah I didn't read it just saw the FMIC bits.

You can go for stage 2 then

 

[gezmeister]

Very tidy FMIC install my friend! Looks ace!

 

[lynchy]
