Looking good mate, the only think i wouldnt have in cream is that leather gear gaitor, apart from that, spot on ;)
 
When i read the title I thought..., this will look amazing. But i think the black bits let the it down now. The seats look good but look out of place with the cream doors and so on.

Any plans to get it all swapped to cream?
 
yer ino what you mean dude but im onto it

K at xquiste will hopefully be doing some trimming doorcards and maybe the dash and install so will look all in place then
 
good man ^^ Look forward to seeing the update.

Can you advise where you got your guage piller and gauge from? I might be keen to get one.

Pillar pod is from nomad racing and the gauges are autogauges from halfords mate ;)
 
right bout time i bumped this up with some updates as i havent updated this in agesss

alot has gone on with the car , since i last udated ive had pre facelift bumper smoothed ect with R splitter , R sideskirts , lower , porsche wheels now sold them and rocking winter wheels and fmic

i have had to get rid of the porsche stroseks due to needing money for christmas and tbh i need to make the car sensible so i can drive it without any rubbing over the winter untill i get my new wheels in time for next season keeping that hush for now tho ....

i found my self some cheap crappy wheels for a bargain 18x8.5 inovites and sort of refurbed them myself to winter mode , going to get the lips refurbed and polished profesionally

how they were when i got them , one was mega horrible pure black but not dirt i had to sand it all off :.:

my FMIC has arrived and my pipework , also my forge IC sensor pipe , all i need now is forge samco hoses and i can fit it then look for bigger manifold and race delete pipe and im rocking around 15-20bhp more

will be updating when i have tyres and spacers for the wheels

hope you all like
 
Wow this has transformed man... Am getting mine in march and was planning 17's but thinking they'll look small? Do i need 18's and how much do i need to lower it to sit well well on 18's and so it doesnt rub?
 
yer defo need 18's imo dude , i wldnt recomend being as low as me because ive done 3 sumps and on my 4th driveshaft ... 50mm will be a nice height , im about 70mm front and 65 rear for perfect stance on 18's
 
So you finally got it in the end then, now you've got the challenge of fitting it ;) 15-20bhp extra, you wish haha :lol:
 
your going to be the one ending up helping me fit it dude haha
i thought u said thats the gains u got with the egr manifold and egr race delete pipe ?
 
another quick update , put the wheels on the car to see how they look on fit but dont quite fit , need 10mm spacers up front and 20mm rear but will be getting the front ones today off belsy and also hopefully tyres will be fitted

Im very busy with work over the next couple of months, you getting tyres today?? Well I had 165bhp and 265ftlb with a slipping clutch, was slipping like mad when mapped, since the map it's always run on vpower and now I've got the fmic with bigger pipework, only restriction is pancake pipe and I'm waiting to pick up my pancake replacement pipe soon ;)
 
kk mate no worries im sure i can manage fitting it lol
yer i will be getting the tyres hopefully just got to find them cheap enough because most quotes ive got have been more expensive than the wheels :(
yer i remember you saying about the clutch , im hoping for a 15bhp increase with the fmic , pipework , delete pipe , manifold and map tweak
 
I think 15bhp is quite optimistic, you will get more torque than anything, as your vnt15 turbo will be maxed out already, as 18psi on them is the safe limit, according to AmD. I've still got another 4 psi left to come from my turbo to reach the safe limit :)

my gauge's and pod arrived so quite happy with the transformation
i have gone for pro sport stepper series gauges but having abit of a nightmare wiring them atm but im sure it will be sorted soon .
also got a private plate for christmas so got that registerd and on, over the moon with that too :D
i picked up some cream doorcards at the weekend and fitted them but havent had a chance to take some pics as of yet but im sure i will do , all i need to do now is spray some dash parts cream and the interior is near on complete

wheels are going to a polishers at the end of the month for a refurb and dish's polished then i will be changing the colour as the weather is changing but still got to decide what colour to go , im thinking cream but not 100% yet. Then i will be fitting my FMIC :D

anyways heres the pics of my gauges , pod and number plate ... notice derv ftw
