Got my car back (Big Turbo)

[Mikey_H]

Looks like its sitting nice mate, but always good to go lower lol! Go as far as you can, just watch your sump at the front lol!

Hi mate, my lower strut brace sits lower than the sump so don't have to worry about that thing is the car will only go a tiny bit lower at the back aand if i lowered the front all the way it would be sat at an angle but i'm quite happy with it as it is, although in a week i prob will drop it as far as it will go lol

 

[Mikey_H]

nothing to show off in the beezer engine bays ive tryed so hard to make it look mental but it dnt work only red pipes showing no in your face turbos no chrome boost pipes or anything!

looks mucho better mikey_H does it handle any better

yea mate it handles like a dream so tight and the rear antiroll bar has helped aswell and the strut braces all together i think have helped alot so much better than standard now

you just need thr LCR splitter on the front to make it look lower, then its only the splitter you mangel on speed bumps and curbs instead of your bumper.

 

[Mikey_H]

Since it is a 17/20 turbo the housing will look the same and the insurance companies will never know you have a hybrid turbo...
Just wondered what the engine bay looked like incase Jabba did anything different or smart looking on your engine. Don`t take a photo with the useless engine cover on if you where givern one when you bought the car either please thankyou.

hehehe i wouldn't do that my engine cover sits in my garage as i tapped my boost gauge into the top of the turbo pipe and if i put the cover on it bends the pipe over and doesn't let the air through. will see if i can get a good photo of engine but just looks very standard lol

Sod the car i want to look at the work done in the engine bay.

i,ve been waiting for pic's also!

after scrolling down, i had to check i was reading the thread with BIG TURBO in the title

 

[Mikey_H]

Mike your forgot to mention the main thing, that its still not quite as quick as mine [], for now anyways im sure when Jabba have another play with the map i will be seeing a lot of black smoke lol.
did you get round to dropping the front? i dont rember seeing you do it.

I seem to remember our race being very close Steveyboy haha, and i know you go on about weight but i had all my old car bits in the back lol!!!

[Ad Lav]

Nice mikey, really nice, lower it a tad more

Spacers make it look wider, looks and goes well now eh?!

 

[Mikey_H]

Hi evo, I payed £580 fitted from Jabba i am so pleased with them they manage to handle very very well but still ride comfort isn't much different from before not as nice as your sig pic haha!! or adlav's new rear end

 

[Mikey_H]

[T10HJS]

[Mikey_H]

Only 15mm spacers!

Shocking, go for 20mm!

Think I answered that question in either the thread in the mk4 or pictures section!

Roughly £200-£300 depends on bodyshop!

Solenoid was £40, fitting free (best mate did it)

Welding of plate in 'S' hole £40

Filler, priming, painting etc £80 (best mate did it)

 

[Mikey_H]

i'm seriously thinking about it will the car pass an mot without those reflectors??? suppose you could just buy some stickers then take them off afterwards lol does look great though if i could get it done for £200 all fitted and painted i would defintatly do it

i had a previous car fail an MOT because of a lack of reflectors!

back on topic............ the boost gauges look sweet!

 

[Sisson]

Sounds nice...

Just get yourself down santa pod now!!

 

[Mikey_H]

Yea i have heard a few times people saying that like i said though couple of stick on reflectors will do the job!!!!

Yea can't wait for next trip to santapod hopefully after the 13/08/07 as thats when its going in for final re-map i rea;;y want to try getting close to the 250 mark but don't want to be putting NOS or propane on the car not a fan of that i'm thinking injectors?? cams?? something like that? i dunno need to pm devonmikeyboy ask him what i can do to get some more power at them moment i'm going to focus on getting the car looking as good as poss and a sound system, i'm really intrested in smoothening the back like adlav's done and cupra front bumper i'm booked in for window tints on wednesday just going for light smoked, with regards to sound system i'm just going to replace the origional speakers and just put a little self amped vibe sub in the back only 8 or 10inch i'm not a massive sound system person but nice to have some quality sound.
