I'm just awaiting some supplementary parts from Tom, before the RS2 can be fitted. I have every faith that it won't be too long a wait. :)
However, as I doubt the kit will be on the car now before FCS (which is what I was initially aiming for) ideally I'd like pursue something I thought...
I managed to find the information online, they were send off original cams to have the work done. Thought the price seemed too good to be true otherwise haha! :o
Thanks! :)
I still need to sort some mapping; I'm hoping that TDF are happy to do it. :)
Bit of a tangent here, but what the crack with the Piper Cams? The price on 'tweeks, just over £300, I'm assuming is for regrinds? With this, do you send your original cams away to be worked on?
Bad news on the insurance; prices like that are pretty disgusting imo.
It's good you've a plan in place to sort the car later down the line though. :)
hai! ;)
I bought that, the 1.6 sport, standard at 18 and insurance was nice and cheap!
That's alright then; I'd have been expecting slow throttle response and lower MPG until it's been mapped tbh. :)
Just awaiting my coil pack mount and then I'm all set!
What's it been running like on the standard map?
Would you say it's usable for a short while, everyday use? Just I'll need to use mine to get to work, etc between putting the manifold on and getting it mapped!
I'm just using a 13mm straight section silicone hose for the catch tank; plenty of...
I'll be having mine mounted in the same place; where the old air box was, at the side of the battery? :)
I've just not got around to swapping the inlet and level sight over yet.
The all black scheme is great imo! :approve:
What map is yours running on at the moment? Standard map? the...
The last piece of silicone hose I needed arrived today; for use with the catch tank. :)
After looking around, I ordered it through AP Motorstore. This was the same place I got my jubilee/wormdrive clips from; fantastic prices, nowhere else came close!
The hose was only £8.38 for the 133mm...
haha! :approve:
I've just ordered the last piece of silicone hose that I needed. Just a 13mm straight length to use with my catch tank.
I had a look on AP motorstore again (where I got my wormdrive clips from) and once again their prices were great. They also cut the hose in shorter lengths...
I've just swapped the diamond back to the original item.
My carbon one was getting a little rough around the edges; the painted black edges chipping off. Looking at it now, I think the original silver/chrome diamond has freshened up the front end!
So, on that, I think that's decided that...
Thanks for the comments, guys! :)
Cheers, Tom. Don't suppose you have any of those fancy JMS window stickers kicking about? ;)
I was stuck between spraying the engine black or silver (after seeing your rocker cover :evil: ).
I decided to go with that crackle effect black in the end...
Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Big update time! JMS RS2 intake arrived this afternoon.
I'll start with a few photos of the manifold, which itself is a beautiful piece of work, before writing a bit about the plans and my experience of the ordering and group buy process...
