not 100% sure they are staying there to be honest mate. i heve a big one in the back window that has outstayed its welcome too lol

what a thread, this is amazing. ive just read the whole lot, its taken hours lol.

lol

does it sound the same as a diesel but go away at about 1200 - 1400ish revs

i dunno, i think it could look quite nice. subtle yet obvious that somthing has been done. thats if it is done tidy and looks oem though

dephaser pulley mate. mine sounded the same as that and ive just had it done a couple of weeks ago. not cheap repair im afraid though mate. new cam belt kit, new aux belt kit, new dephaser pulley and a days labour

^+1, he sorted me out with a lamba sensor a couple of weeks ago, seems like a top lad

i think what they would do is have the back box in the same place as where it is now but route two pipes to the centre, kind of like the k tec 172 (182 replica)zorsts but hide it all behind the bumper

+1 on the fine line masking tape. it made by 3m bud

depending on what plastic primer you use, you may need to use a normal primer on top of it as some of them are purely for adhesion perposes and cant be flatted to get a nice finish.

not sure but to get the correct equipment to do it would probly cost you the same as getting it done properly, unless you were getting an rs tunner.

hi mate i gave it a clean today at dinner and it did make a difference to be honest. was a lot smoother and less hesitant to go. 1*2`s are famous for not letting you floor it from cold but as said it was smoother so its worth doing any way. if you dont know where it is then its under your air...

forgot the all important silver side and repeater light bulbs and the toe eye ;)

you would pay a little more for that as it is a 3 stage pearl mate

if i had the money that would definatly be on my cards

can see alot of effort has gone into and goes into it mate. not for me but fair play for doing it how you want it and taking pride in it, keep up the hard work

cheers for the comment fellas. didnt think i had done a fat lot to it but whenm you look at it as a whole, there is a fair bit there. next on my list is a zorst system (when my renault one falls off), remap or rs tuner and possibly some of those k tec coilovers when funds allow it. wont be for a...

tell them that you would p**s all over all of them in your new car and say id rather spend my money on somthing that i want rather than what every one else has got.

lol ive already done about 10 pairs and have a waiting list of people who want them too lol. i just dont get the time to do them at work unless its quiet though. ther are guides to most of, if not all of the stuff ive done to it so if anyone fancied a go then its there.

ive heard that giving the crank sensor a clean helps a little so im gona give mine a clean tomorrow at work to see if it makes any difference. if it does then ill let you know mate.

i would strip it out like yours mate but it wouldnt be practical for me so i just made it my own.

cheers for the comments and sorry about the spellings lol. i was a bit tired when i did this. i do the thumb grips when i get the chance mate and put them up in the for sale section. they are made from fibre glass though not rubber im afraid. as for the sub box, i rapped it in a fleece...

cheers mate :o

next up was the wheels and badges so decided what i wanted to do then got on with it and this is pretty much how it stands at the moment. ive just had the dephaser pulley, cam belt kit, aux belt kit, cam cover gasket, lamba sensor, exhust and steering rack all sorted...

amongst all this work i was doing i also decided to have a bash at making some fibre glass thumbgrips as mine were batterd

thank for all the comments chaps

my missis got me a stelth shelf for my birthday so it was rude not to fill it with vibe juicy goodness and whilst i was at it i put some in the rear 1/4s too i also decided that i fancied making a one off fibre glass sub box that fitted perfectly into the corner on the boot so set...

i then thought that the fron end was looking abit taty and there were a few scratched (the ones i mentioned earlyer) on the rea bumper that needed doing so i started on them so once that was done it was on to the next thing

i then wanted more lol so i decided to have a bash at polishing it up... at this point i had managed to get a blue samco induction hose so the bring the blue into the colour sceme i did this i then started on the inlet i then thought this would be a nice finish to the engine bay so...
