I saw a white 1.4 Chill on the way into work this morning and agree they really should have released these as Cupras too. I reckon they'd look sweet in BMW Alpine white... :)

Just looked and I think it was Madmile (Gary)

I tinkered for a while and then bought a Stnd Ecu of hooch to put back on along with the VF. From Jabba doing the IHI until I decided to change spec after a fuel pump failure it never really missed a beat in 40k, from that point on it only managed 1-2K in 18-24 months, it was a bit of a nightmare it was basically a non-runner.

Once back to Stge 3 IHI its been as good as gold apart from a little moisture on the ecu plug which was a 2 min fix. Its up and running and its how I should have left it looking back.

I think it did 315-318bhp (297bhp@wheels)@ the fly at awesome in the last 6 months. I changed from IK22's to NGK PR's and it a lot smoother at both idle and when running. I took it out today actually and its running really clean/crisp and pulling hard. Its moving the same air over the maf as it did back at Jabba 4-5 years ago and the fuelings good.

I actually use it for my little girls school run now, its her favourite car.

Just checked, my car was IHI'd by Jabba on 19-11-2004, thats just over 5 years ago now where does the time go.

Theres two white IHIs around unless they have been crashed/broken/blown up. Both done by members on here but since sold. Once came up earlier this year and the new owner blew the gearbox on the way home I think iirc.

I remember reading that thread.

Was 3rd gear that went bang. Although there was warning sings there when it was bought with the gearbox being a bit rough might see if i can dig the thread out.
