Want to now focus on spraying alloys and painting calipers. Just to finish off the exterior. Then back on the power.

 

[ClarkBoyJr]

time for some power couldnt decide on stage 1 or 2. wallet decided for me

The decat mate did you have toget the lambda sensor bend bit or was it alright ? Ordered mine and wanna fit it soon but wanna make sure itll fit with or with out the lambda bend ?

 

[scott180]

As the picture is now is a direct fit onto stock exhaust from turbo. The smallest part (final reducer) on it I cut off to keep the 2.5" diameter and clamped my sports cat in the missing gap.

Nah what i mean is did you have to fit a adapter to the lambda sensor on them ?

 

[scott180]

No not that I can remember. Only had a 90 degree adapter to fool the lambda while the car was on stock map (2days)

 

[ClarkBoyJr]

Ah fair enough mate mine came oaybu cant fit it as no gaskets came with it ! guttedwanted to fit it saturday t work bt gotta wait now

 

[paulos44]

Do you have a link for that intercooler kit you have fitted ? Does it have the 2 small pipes coming off the main pipe that clamps to the turbo ?

 

[scott180]

It only had the dv take off not the n75 so I made my own. And unfortunatly don't have the link anymore but it's still on ebay under 1.8t fmic I think.

 

[LukeK]

How much did you get the coilovers for mate? Have they made it a lot better drive now? Do you have to watch going up large kerbs now lol

 

[scott180]

Nah its fine. Only catch on the seriously steep slopes. I live on a road with speed bumps and it copes fine. I payed £180 for them but a mate of mine works for a performance part shop so I got them at trade And ride is a lot better handling but not stiff on bumps as shocks are slightly softer.

 

[scott180]

So today I gave in and decided to paint the alloys

Thought I'd try the card method. All sanded ready to go.

After two coats of satin black

Finished result. All done for under £10. Now just to clean off the dust

 

[LukeK]

Playing cards. Good idea' haha

 

[scott180]

Had a mate do it to his st mondeo and told me to try it. And it worked well
