Pretty sure they're about 160bhp, so Deffo should feel down compare to the ST!
Should be good when he gets the Porsche, even a low spec boxster will be great fun!
So, I managed to sort the boost piping yesterday. I've not got the hard pipe kit yet but I've sorted the pipe that kept popping off.
Original set up
New set up
It's a much tighter bend, so doesn't catch on anything now and it s much better fit. I took it for a few high gear full throttle...
Cheers guys. Just trying to resize the pics but photobucket editing doesn't work on my work laptop! I'll edit later and put of pics of the new intercooler boost pipe set-up.
So, a very quick update on this.
I've removed the ECU from the airbox and blocked the hole, amazingly I can definately feel a difference. It feels much smoother than before and makes a little more induction noise.
I've been having issue with a hot side boot pipe popping off under full boost in...
Have I missed the part of the advert that mentions the turbo? If not I'd like to know how a pipercross air filter has given that an additional 100bhp!
No doubt it will be quick but my god is it ugly!!
Mine has a boost pipe that likes to pop off occasionally. Annoyingly the last time it happend was on the M1!!
The standard rubber doesn't seem to like 18-20psi. Some new larger, silicone and alloy intercooler pipework is now on order (2.5" instead of 2").
Kindertons dealt with a repair of mine a few years ago. It was a Megane Coupe that i'd paid £2,000 for a year earlier.
I was really hoping it was going to be written off, but the bill came back at £1950 and they repaired it! I also had a hire car for 2 weeks.
There is hope for you yet!
First one is a Cup, second one isn't.
The Alien green one still has the same brakes, it's just they are painted red on the Cup pack specc'd cars. The cup has less creature comforts but has the cup chassis, so lower, stiffer suspension, quicker steering rack, thicker ARB and that's about it...
I'm running PS3's on my S40. Currently running about 300bhp and 370lb-ft and have no issues with grip unless purposefully angering it!
Even in the current weather conditions 3rd gear onwards I have no problems putting full power down.
Only downside is that they've only been on for about 4k...
The only one i've had recently was a biker - his words were 'What the fcuk is in that thing - it's bloody quick' whilst sat at a set of lights after a quick play. I love my Lolvo!
Run a fresh coax cable from the aerial to the exterior wall. put a hole in the wall, feed the cable through it. Job done.
This is assuming you have an external aerial of course, and not one hidden in the roof/loft
Probably the bottom ball joints. They have a habbit of going on the 197/200's.
I can't see why it would be the aux belt if it's only when you turn the wheel....?
That's the exact TV i'm planning on buying this week. I'm hanging on in the hope that it might come down in some black friday deals - but we'll see. It's received great reviews by What HiFi.
Buy from John Lewis though, its the same price but you get 5 years warranty.
