P1-0031

Can anyone recommend a good independent garage in or near (up to 60 miles say) from Lanarkshire area? I've got some running problems which did appear to have been fixed after sorting an air leak at the dump valve, the car ran great for a couple of days and now the air leak is back again and it sounds worse than before. You can actually hear it clear as day when under load, which obviously isn't good. I'm more than happy with the place I go to just now but this time round I'd like the comfort of a second opinion. It's a 2000 P1 with a 2.5 bottom end rebuild, apexi ECU. I have been advised the ECU may be the problem as it isn't managing the air flow and idle correctly but I can't get my head round why it would run OK for a few days then revert back, surely an ECU can't be thaat tempremental? You can't beat word of mouth and I really need a second opinion from a reputable place

Powder Coating will not be good for the alloy, especially if the are lightweight and "soft" I had a horrendous time with Chameleon a while back, I blamed him, he blamed the alloy and it all went very sour. I wouldn't recommend him but at the same time they have done a very good job on a lot of wheels which i've personally seen in the flesh. (powder) Personally I would go for paint as you have a greater spectrum of colours and shades to get it right.

Alright bud, yeah was saying to him last night. He's told me a good few things about yours Will need to see it in the flesh sometime.

Cheers everyone. Nope, not me not been up there for ages.

Sadly it's still on the VF28 for now, I had bought the 740's with the intention of going A LOT bigger but then I got twitchy about the box handling the power. I've not used the car much over the last couple of years but now she's going to get a lot more TLC lol and watch this space............

My first stalker lol haha Yeah used to stay in Cumbernauld, moved from there a few year past, still up there a lot though. It's had; 2.5l Block 740cc Injectors Autobahn TMIC Walbro Fuel Pump Sard FPR HKS SSQV NGK Plugs K&N Filters RCM oil pump Decat Blitz Nur spec Samco & Autobahn silicone hoses (incl. Turbo inlet) Apexi ECU & Commander. Custom Map Exedy 5 puck paddle clutch Inovit's wrapped in Yokohama (Badly want 18" PWRC-1's ) + some that I've no doubt forgot about. Stills needs a few bits badly like a bigger turbo for starters - soon though

Yeah it's not bad when it goes..LOL Thanks

A wee pic from Loudon Castle last year, not been on the road much since then but back in the garage getting a few things done.

Haha, They're back on now! Thanks for the comments everyone, the wheels looked ok, just really trying to source the originals without buying from the stealers! Few things planned soon too which should be fun, K&N filters, 225 Fuel Pump, Cold Air Induction, De-Cat, HKS SSQV and a remap. All after Xmas though haha
