hey all,
bloody wonderful xmas present I managed to give myself this morning. was mucking about under the bonnet and managed to snap a sensor on the left hand side of the inlet plenum! GRRRR
As a result of it breaking, the car, when started idles at 2k, then drops after 5-10secs to a...
mork - had a look into it and buying the new unit worked out better than the connects2, plus it doesnt distort at a level i can hear it over the exhaust unlike the standard.
Bit of an update!
Further stripping has commenced! now nothing in the rear, and soon to be little in the front!
Am picking up a sparco bucket and 4 point harness from a mate of me dads for free in the next few days, so will have a decent seating position too!
Other new mods are a...
Reckon it was your car. Compbrakes, H&Rs, anthra turinis and a splitter held together with multicoloured cable ties!
looked good. wanted to leave a note but pen and paper evaded me!

also got a few pics whilst out with some mates last night. The evo's running about 450bhp and the leon 180bhp. the Cup kinda fits somewhere in the middle! haha
Alex I disagree a little with you there.
My local delaer uses gates kits, still came back at stupid money. Got it done with the renault belts by rentech for under £400 including aux belts and tensioners
ktec quoted me £600-odd just for belts. asked why that was (renault came in at only a shade more) and they said it was standard price.
was only after i'd cancelled the booking with them and gone with someone else that somebody realised i was being quoted for a 182 with CC! even though theyd had...
Hi all,
am planning on moving the battery to under the passenger seat as a few people have done on here.
Have seen that some have made a different intake setup with a straight pipe off the TB rather than use the standard one. I want to stick with an airbox rather than a cone filter, but...
Sounds good man.
Give me a shout as and when you do and I'll drag myself out. Got a few new pics of it, and all I can tell from them is that it desperately needs to be a little lower!
