paul555sti Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Picked up the car today from Hypertech! Big thanks to Dunc and young Dunc for the work carried out. A very well fitted frountmount along with fuel pressure regulator and a set of four pots to replace the crappy two pots that were on it. Oh and did i mention that i am off to Port Seaton tomorrow to have the apexi power fc fitted and mapped Not much sleep tonight me thinks and just to finish off a good day its my birthday
thewelsho Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Nice one mate, glad your brakes still work ok after I ran over them. Good luck with the map and happy birthday!
dipsy Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) Would you need to box in the induction filter to stop the hot air from the engine bay and a good feed of cold air to the air filter instead . Edited May 4, 2008 by Dipsy

paul555sti Posted May 4, 2008 Author Posted May 4, 2008 Cheers for the comments! Dipsy boxing in the induction kit is something i do plan on doing but had to wait till all the intercooler pipe work was in first, that will now allow me to make up a template of the shape i will need. I will be removing the intercooler water spray bottle as it will no longer be used so i should manage to get a cold air feed up to the filter. Also planning on lagging the intercooler pipe work at some stage as well.
jcscoob Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Lookin sweeeet :crying: Sounds like a braw Bday to me, enjoy then tomorow

frank c Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Looking good Paul..Happy birthday fella ! So your coming through here tomorrow eh...lucky you
dipsy Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Thanks for the reply Paul happy birthday .Good luck with the remap
marky.t.s Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 FMIC looks tasty indeed mate,and a happy birthday as well.
scoobymark Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 looking good paul, saw you your car when front mount was in progress of being fitted. the white wheels make it look what figures are you hoping for? Did dunc remember to give you a package to give to andy from me?
seafar99 Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Looking great Paul, but where are you putting the number plate?

Did dunc remember to give you a package to give to andy from me? Ah so you are the turbo owner! Yes its in the boot of the car. If he had said your log on name i would have known who he ment. As far as the power goes i honestly dont know, i think my injectors will be the limiting factor but i dont know what they can cope with power wise. Seafar i havent came up with an answer to the number plate question yet but i dont want it blocking the intercooler so a bit thought is required. I may try my luck with a smaller than standard plate and take my chances.

st3ph3n Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 I'd say get the sticker that goes on the bonnet for a plate. Keep it full size and hope for the best. Or paint it on the IC?????? Looking good though!
paulc555 Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 looks good mate..... look forward to seeing it in the flesh at the show...... good luck tomorrow... oh and happy birthday friend... Paul
seafar99 Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Square plate covering the N/S fog cover, would be my tuppence worth.

paul555sti Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 To say i am happy would be an understatement . Andy said the car is running about 330 bhp which for a thirteen year old is not bad. I will need to be careful on the bends in the wet now. Cant believe its the same car Mark your turbo is back with dunc.

Excellent figures Paul A+++++ lol I dont think you will have any problems in the bends mate remember its had EVERYTHING Whiteline fitted to it re number plate I'd go with St3ph3n and stick a normal sized vinyl on the front of the bunnet
