Heater matrix bypass
Is it ok to bypass the marix while i wait on a replacement ? found one for 70+vat and ordered it, just waiting on delivery, but the car is also booked into The Garage to get the box done on thursday, and would prefer it was running :slap:

Fao bazz
just got the number mate, will be calling after i get showered and stuff :hyper: Quick question, does it come with a torque converter ? thanks
-
I think the time has come.
stagea gets my vote, more reliable and a lot more load lugging capacity, you can pick them up for 2-2.5k in good nick, plus if you wanna go manual, all the stuff from the skyline can be used :cool:

Fao bazz

bodykits
i just found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260192287404 and tbh i quite like it, its subtle apart from the spoiler but you dont get that anyway, and a bargain to boot, it works out cheaper than a greddy front bumper :smash:

Heater matrix
i called some london company today, the guy was in the workshop, but said he was pretty sure it was around 80 quid, ive to call back tomorrow to confirm it :dance: TBH if it was summer i would bypass it just now, but its abit cold to have no heating :cry:

improvement or not
for your car TBH the gains will be not very cost efficient, you will need twice as many cams as them for a start :rofl: I dont know what cam kits are out there for your car, but im guessing it will be around 1k for a complete cam kit, plus fitting on top of that, for that kinda money, get a TT engine and convert to the dark side :D

Air/Fuel Gauge
TBH theose gauges are less than usefull. Being a narrowband sensor its nothing mire than pretty lights im afraid. The only way to get accurate reading on your A/F ratio is with a wideband :)

Heater matrix
cheers mate, id rather source a uk one, i hate waiting for things abroad, they aways seem to get delayed with me :headvswal il have a little look and see if i can find a guide

Heater matrix
i am mechanically minded, done a few engine conversions, big brake upgrades etc, im an engineer to trade, where is the best place to get them ? cheers for the info :duffer:

Heater matrix
i knew about the box, was the reason the car only cost me 800 quid, with 10 months mot and 2 months tax, and a huge folder of receipts :eek: It does need a little work, but the engine is solid sounding with no smoke or rattles, and also has a performance exhaust on it from the car back. Bargain IMO :cool: So i guess it will be the matrix, is there any links to guides ? or workshop manuals to work out if its worth booking into a garage to do or not

Heater matrix
How hard is it to replace ? I just got my first Zed at the weekend, blown autobox but the RAC brought it back the 448 miles :shock: While i was down letting it run and inspecting it, the car filled with steam and the drivers footwell flooded, my first thought went to the heater matrix :smash: Is this common ? or is there something else it is likely to be before i go wasting money on cash that could go towards the respray :hyper:

my first car
a mk3.5 fiesta si with coilovers, 210 bhp engine out of a FRST, exhaust etc. Not bad for a 19 YO, and the insurance was only 1200 aswell :nana2: Ive had 36 cars in 4 years, i really should stop :wack:

Is this guy nuts
This is actually for 2 dump valves and the fitting kit, but still expensive, IIRB whifbitz are cheaper, but not sure :headvswal

Rear offset

Dump valves, fitting tips?
have a bash mate, your not doing anything drastic and alothough it looks complex, its the best way to learn, thats how i did it :) Fitting a dumpvalve is easy enough mate, if i was home i could fit them for you as im just down the road in kilmarnock :)
