Front Bumper Removal 1. Working under the front of the vehicle remove the three plastic clips securing the front bumper to the splash guard. To do this, depress the central pins. 2. On each side of the vehicle, unscrew the upper screws and remove the lower clips securing the wheelarch liners to the front bumper. 3. Have an assistant support the front bumper, then prise out the plastic covers and undo the three upper screws from the front body panel. 4.

Air Filter (Apexi) Exhaust (Mongoose or similar) Brakes (R33/34 Upgrade) Suspension (Shocks & Springs) Boost controller & ECU chip (14/15psi) Boost & Water Temp gauges Lightened Front Pulley (SGP) Also depends on how much of the work you are going to do yourself. Labour can be expensive on Zeds.

This is mine.. 2001 Astra 2.2 Coupe

I get approx 200 miles to a full tank. 260 if its motorway. i do have a heavy right foot tho :D

JWT are quite an aggressive chip from what ive read but you will get more grins for your £ per mile tho. If its not an issue i wouldnt worry because i think your doing better MPG that most on here :rofl:

the chips generally increase fuelling to support the increase in boost pressure. which chip do you have?

Its been said before but if MPG is an issue when owning a Z then you have the wrong car.

Your on own now bud... Scu-who?? never heard of him! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

exactly! Those of us that pile 1000's into a Zed are no different to the Nova guy. Better starting vehicle admitedly but the passion to do it is still the same. Why do we do it ? :slap:

:rofl: Same here mate ;)

nice one guys :) anyone else?

They are the same as what is on a zed anyway mate.

yep, timing mark came in real handy when checking my timing. I was running at 12 instead of 15. slight move of the CAS fixed that and there I was. Bang on 15 :hyper:

I had access to lots of belts too (a friend owned an autofactors) and i couldnt stop them squealing. tightening and loosening just didnt make any difference. after a couple of months i got fed up with it

Ive tried 2 lightweight pulleys. first one was from ebay. £25 The car after fitting does rev easier and sounds like it have more grunt. its hard to explain the difference. Only problem i was encountering was the belts would squeal for about a minute on starting. This soon got embarrassing. I read that others had used the SGP pulley from smithy so I decided to buy one. second pulley. SGP with belts £110 On first look the new pulley looked the same as the ebay one until I removed it from the car and compared them side by side. The quality of the SGP was outstanding and the edges were smooth. Side by Side I easily saw that the belt tracks were different by nearly 2cm. Was this causing the squeal? I believe so. If the tracks were wrong, what else was wrong? Since ive fitted the SGP pulley Ive had no problems with belts since and the engine is in great shape 2 years later :) thats my experience's anyway

If you send me you email address to pete@highermeadow.co.uk i'll add you to my events list for whats happening locally :hyper:
