sorry i should of said it was the 2005 - 2009 shape:( ive tried running a flat object all around the grill and the only bit i can see thats got clips on it to hold it in is at the bottom and i have no idea how to unclip it. sorry for the confusion :)
hey. im after trying to remove the grill and i cant figure out how to do it. any chance you would be able to give me a few hints, PM me if u can help :)
does any one no how to remove the upper grills. had a quick look at removing mine as my horn currently sounds like a goose farting in the fog and i cba to remove the front bumper yet. any help or pics would help considerably :)
ahh ok. yeh i just realised what that is now lol. i think it'd look a bit messy though if u had 1 coming out and would it offer much support like that either lol
na there called race tubes. its just eliminates the center silencer after all the cat gubbins. it gives it a bit more of a raspy sound that u dont get with a car with a cat still fitted. sounds more like it should now. u no its there and its got a engine but its not like u can hear it miles away
i dont exactly throw it around corners lol but atm it does me fine handleing wise. atm its had the power-systems ecu upgrade. adjusted the wastegate to give about 9-10 psi and it now runs on 99 oct unleaded and its had a race tube fitted in teh exhaust to eliminate the middle silencer and has a...
all the dyno runs in mine were done in 2nd and 3rd gear with 1 top speed run for the fun of it lol. 130 aint bad is it lol. the 1st gear boost retarder is a killer cus that limits it to about 60 hp in first gear no matter what u do to it
atm im running 139 but thats with the leaking dump valve. so when i get that fixed it should be at least 140 and thats me done for engine work. other than a induction kit eventually for the fun of it but atm
i like the handling atm of mine. as its not choppy or anything and it feels positive all the. of course its not gonna be super fast but i dont want it to be so hard that u can tell what type of paint is on the floor lol. i just wanted more power for on the motor-ways and also to upset the odd...
so far i havent had any trouble with the gearbox or engine ( Touch Wood ). but the best thing is that is anything does go wrong with teh engine then all u need to do is unplug the attachment and then no one knows as the ecu dont register the attachment
the gear box will handle up to 140 ish before having trouble with oil n stuff. had mine at 128 couple of days ago and it was only doing 5 k on the clock too. it still runs as sweet as anything too

its a piggy back i think youd call it
peek torque in standard was 143 nm, with wastegate mod was 173.5 nm and with the ecu upgrade is was 192.1 nm at 3900 rpm. plently of pulling power if you ask me. especially as its a 1.1(2) lol
i no biohzrd. atm i dotn really no what to do . i wanna slam it but im already on the limit with the bumps around my area. and i cant find any powder coaters in nottingham yet. does any 1 no of any in nottingham?. but dont worry. things are planned for it. jsut might take a bit longer than i...
there's also a easier way to remap the tce engine with a plug in. its a unit that simply plugs in in-between the spark plugs and the main ecu harness. ill try to find the name of the company u can get them from. there quite pricey at about 300 quid but they do work as i have had 1 fitted to mine...
ull be able to get about 150 with out doing any major mods like internal work or changing the turbo n stuff. theres a re-map system avabile which will take it to 133 with out any problems. then if u cnage the induction kit ul get another 2 or 3 hp. change the fuel u use to around 99% octain and...
already tried pipercross and i was booked in for it to go n get tested but they cancled due to there not being a high demand !!!!!!!, but ill let u no if i hear anything. ive got the k&n Panel filter and theres no point it dont do anything except give u goose honk if your dump valve is a bit...
hears mine. gonna get teh wheels powder coated soon in black. dont really no what else to do other than slam it. let me know what u think
Hope fully what its gonna look like in the future
hope these pics help on how to remove the recirc part of the dump valve
1. locate the rubber recirculation pipe connecting the dump valve to the air box intake.
2. Remove the Plastic pipe that draws fresh air from the out side of the car.( goes Over the top of the engine). this simply...
heya matey. just so u no that the actual brake pedal is different on the tce's than it is the 197's, so if u were to do a caliper change u'd need to change not only the master cylinder but u will also need to change the whole pedal assembly behind the dash if that makes sense. i found a endless...
id change my exhaust but looking at the cat set up behind the block i thought i beta leave it like how it is atm . ive got the sports exhaust installed though. which made a bit of difference to the sound and now the exhaust does sound like its got a mild anti-lag system in between gear change...
ull need to rev it quite hard to get any noise difference, gentle throttle movements wont make any noise difference as the engine isnt under stress. try taking the filter out of the holder and revving it then. u should get a sorta deep growl and maybe a slight whistling. of u dont get any noise...
i currently own a mk 3 sx and ive loved every moment with it. the clutch is light. the steering is light and responsive and the car has more than enough go for a 1.2 tce. i had a 197 for 3 months and then sold it as i coudlnt cope with all the gear changed aroudn town and also the amount of road...
all u need in the keys and u can take the head unit out. push the keys in as far as they can and ull get a click. after that u can just pull it straight out. simple. lol. just so you no. if u cut any cables for the radio youll void the warrenty. so if your gonan do any cutting buy a iso/iso...
