Great car, just read the whole thread

It really is a nice example, and its good to see you getting stuck in! The colour is stunning, hope to see it at a meet one day.

What benefits do the alloy VVC manifolds give?

Do you have any opinions on the remap, nice and smooth? mpg? 200bhp and 200lbft sound like figures I need in my life!

thank you for the kind worlds guys, really dose make all the work worth while when people say nice things,

the vvc inlet is just less prone to warping like the plastic one dose and you can get slight coolent leaks, and they look nicer

as for the remap i cant recomend it enough, imo this is how these cars should have come out the factory, it is very smooth to drive and just has bags more torque lower down then the standard map MPG hasnt really changed ither, get it done and i dont think you would be dissaponted


another up date is here
had a busy evening on the car tonight fitting some lowreing springs to get rid of that horrible arch gap up front and hopefully make my wheels look a bit nicer to
i didnt get mant photos along the way,

in this one i have removed the whole strut and while it was out give it a good clean up under there

then a nice coat of under seal

strut before i fitted the new spring


strut with new spring all inplace and with a nice coat of underseal

managed to get the front to done today so hopefully get the rear ones done tomorrow, but when i put the car on the floor it didnt look lower at all so i do hope as they settle in it will drop a bit

Don't get your hopes up, I've often fitted springs and hoped they'd settle, they seldom do. :{

Nice work on the preventative maintenance, must get mine sorted out underneath before the winter.
