yeah why not :D looks amazing though with the fat arch and low side skirts.

Stance looks B+, need a bigger spacer on the rears for a A+ :D

Your right simon il leave it to the pros :D

hmmmmm i might give that angle grinding a go meself :D did you do the fronts too? What did you seal the paint with after you cut it off?

Can you not modify the sandwiche plate so that its has a good seal? Would be quite simple to do. maybe use some kind of sealing lube or maybe apply a layer of hard glue to the plate before fitting wait till it drys and has hardened so the plate is slightly thicker giving it a tighter fit, i know it sounds kinda botch but worth a shot. Araldite???

Il take that one with the white hoody if i can? :D You can be sure she will go to a good home, she can sleep in my bed :D haha im after a small dog and one that doesnt malt as my sis is alergic. i only know of two types...... anyone know any others?

no no, theres no warning lights up, fan is fine water temp senor is new and connection is fine. here lemme brake it down for everyone. -idles up and down around 750-1000 sometimes alot worse and wants to cut out. -pulling off is near impossible without stalling. -noticed the engine cut out while driving and pressing in the clutch. -splutters when you blip the throttle on idle. (hesitates) -coked up plugs -if left to idle for a minute then you blip the throttle you get black smoke from exhaust. -hesitation is reduced if tps is unplugged. I also noticed that the engine is not getting up to temp, should of changed thermostat!!! dang it :( although only test drove around the block a couple times and left to idle for a few minutes. it did however get to temp on the way back from southend.

piece of piss making one up. just got to get my hands on an old tyre valve :D il go up to 2psi i recon. I really hope its an air leak ive spent thousands on this in the last couple months. Il keep you posted and please feel free to post anything you may have forgotten or something that comes to mind. it all helps :D

Thanks smithy, so you recon with all the sypmtoms, running rich, poor idle and hesitation its a leak!!! right il make a boost leak tester 2mow and give it a proper go what psi do you recon i should pressurise it to? Scott said there was a very very slight air leak coming from near the offside intercooler, but said it was only very very slight and wont make a difference!!!!! hopefully he is wrong and this is the cause of the problem. But if it isnt? what else would cause these symptoms?

Basic engine spec: Blitz induction filter Decat free flow full exhaust present when i purchased the car!!! nismo 555's second hand flowed and tested to 555cc (one injector flowed to 505cc) Before rebuild the car used to hesitate when you blip the throttle but no way as much as it does now, it also used to idle fine.

Thanks mate, might wanna try out your tps and maf :D

So maybe the chip i have is same as yours? closest person with consult is wozzer or andyp, wozzer is off to holland and i dont wanna hassle anyone. If this chip is for dual intake then it could be the reason for running rich, But this still doesnt help with the idle problem, im hoping that both are interlinked somehow.

I was thinking that too, il wait for andyp's reply. I also noticed my aftermarket boost gauge flutters rapidly on dle but not when revved? make any sense or difference at all?

just kidding fela. I really want a puppy now. ive been thinking about it.

Its a "get you started chip" from andyp, im still to ask him a couple questions. I removed the tps sensor plug the one with the 3 wires and the car improved alot, no way as much hesitation but still up and down idle and bit of black smoke when you i rev it. The o2 sensor wires look brand on both sides new as i think they were replaced not long ago but who knows. The main problem is having it mapped but i cant before the engne in run in so im truelly PISSED OFF to the max. scotts is not a short drive either grrrrrrr was sw1 having simliar problems? TBH i doubt its the ptu but thanks mark il keep that in mind. OOPs sorry for double post :(

Yeah too far james. Just checked a plug and its all coked up so YES it is defo running rich. doesnt smell fuely though.

I was talking bout the one with the jeans on? she looks older than 8 weeks, id say 18 years? well at least shes not weeing in her bed then :D

I need to test a few good known parts ie maf, ptu, idle valve to isolate my running problem. Hoping its not the o2 sensors. Cars running a tad rich on idle and very lump when pulling off, wants to cut out, oh i also noticed it cuts out while driving if you hold in the clutch and idles irratic. So help would be apprieceiated and all time&costs covered. Maybe i could lend a hand with installing a mod you have bought or with a problem your car has, just a thought. I would take the car back to scott but its too far away and dont fancy having it driven there in its current state, freshly rebuilt and all. erm "Someshiftyguy" (cough cough)

So do you keep her outside at night in a kennel? oh and the puppy is cute by the way.

14psi from an sp (i dont think so).

yeah that would be helpful thanks. :D

Are the smoked gauges we all bought from the GB not available anymore? cant find them on ebay anymore, cant find the seller either. Want A volt gauge now, dang it :( Think the brand is "Option gauges", very similar to the "Auto gauge" brand!!!!!

Jaffa you could be right, scott said there was an air leak near the front left intercooler but he said it was only very slight. mmmmmmaybe thats the prob.

cheers. oh look wozzer has one :D

Ok the search begins, anyone wana lend a hand with a conzult? North london area.. :D
