i would really advise against this. not only will it blind you it will also depreciate your car an make it look very tacky. would also be a great get out for insurance companys

the vans are a fair bit cheaper to buy than a dci car.. unless you already had the car ? and with the shape of the car it would be a pic to mdf.. you wont have the load tray in the back either that you have with the van

depends what your budget is tbh.. il be starting to slowly colect bits for mine soon. if you focus on the hardware mani £80 ish turbo £300 ish IC + pipes £200 oil pipes + fittings £100 used ecu £400-500 mapping £300ish Obviously there is more to it that that but if you can afford all that...

not really a toy then is it.. if it had a 1.8t pushin 260bhp... now thats a toy

in what sense is that a toy, you tracking it ? or is it just a runabout ?

are you getting a dci 565 van like mine or getting a clio n makin it into a van ?? if so i have all the trim panels for a van so it will look proper

what kinda power are we talking here tho.. im on about a 400+bhp evo. i know a few of the lads running big power c20lets use the ebay ones and do well from that, although they no doubt would do better from a more efficient one from the like of forge etc.

iv seen the differences on dyno from a run on a ebay to a run on a standard evo cooler.. no i havnt gone into any depth on it as its not something that concerns me atm but i have seen the differences on dyno from a run on a ebay to a run on a standard evo cooler ( on the same car )

from what i have seen yes. why make your turbo work harder when for a little more you can have a much more efficient IC. when it comes to these there cheap and expensive for a reason.

i wouldnt go for the ebay universal coolers. a mate fitted one on his evo and lost power on standard the dyno operator couldnt think why until he saw the ebay cooler. if your after a IC look for a evo one as they flow very well on standard so do the landy td5 ones

:O hope not... although not sure what mine comes under now

awesome rep tbf

although it may be worth it you can buy a conversion for alot less.. think i have spent under £450 on my conversion and that was from diesel to a petrol 172. you will be better of selling the engine + box on there own then do like a conversion kit which includes full loom ( inside + out) ...

personally i always stick to my bank but paypal if needs be. although i am very low scale. a bloke on here recently had alot of trouble with paypal, think they are currently holding £35k of his money may be worth reading into his thread

do you want some of the alcantra front seats ? im takin mine out and fitting buckets, really would improve the look inside with these

you could, but then you would need to have the flange welded onto you tube then a hole drilled and a nut fitted for the lamda sensor.. you can pick decats up on here for about £50 quid which will save you alot of messing about and you will still have your cat for mot time

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion love the project will be mint when done.. shitter aint it when you come across problems because sells couldnt be honest

v6 airbox setup matched inlet's decat springs/ coilies whiteline arb solid dogbone mount poly bushes

wanting to get my project back on track now. from one 172 i have key, ecu, decoder ring and from another i have the uch.. now know i will need the ecu and uch to be paired for the car to run .is there anyway around this or am i going to need the ecu unlocking, and if so were and howmuch

sorry mate didnt realise you were a painter aswell.. iv been doing this for about 4 years now trained by a merc + bentley approved garage. and you can use standard 2k lacquer with rocket added and flat that within a few hours.. although the rocket makes the laquer or paint slighlty dull...

who mentioned flatting and polishing ? and it can be done in a day prepped, painted,lacquered, flatted and polished. in a day using standard but decent aerosols it can be lacquered and left to cure or bake depending on what you have available

if its solvent based drying times should be fairly low unless your putting way to much on.. lacquer will take slightly longer but can easily be done in a day

and why is that

f**k that would take forever. 1)remove strips 2)p400 dry 3)3-4 coats high build primer ( half hour between each coat) 4)dust coat of black paint over the primer 5)now wet flat with p600 untill all the black aerosol has gone ( will mean primer is smooth) 6) base coat 6.1) light dust...

wests renault on here is very good and always tries to get a good deal for you

more like s**t a rod through the block

who needs expensive kits when for £600 you can have one of these, 25psi of boost !!! :dead: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RAM-AIR-UNIVERSAL-AIR-INDUCTION-KIT-25-PSI-BOOST-/150503270874?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item230ab1a9da#ht_2834wt_905 that coupled with the 15bhp 4 branch...

cheers dude, and creswell near worksop cheers, should look alot better when its finished just dont have much time or money for it atm

for £300 you can pick up a gt35 if you look about will be far better than using a turbo with audi fittting ( if it is audi)

seen them turbo's before but cant think were.. i think as fred said its a VAG turbo.. why do you ask . got plans for it ?
