That intercooler is mint, however doesnt it slightly bug you that you got 298bhp and not 300bhp?

I'd have asked them to raise the boost ever so slightly and do it again :lol:

thanks guys that one was done just before i bought the car so i would think running the new coolers i may just break into the 300bhp mark :) ....

i have the new header tank on as for the breather that requires a fitting kit and that which i wanna get make up specially so will be done when i have some time :rolleyes: ......

as for plans this year i would like to fit new rims, new springs are on order now for it and the only other thing i wanted to do this year was change the management over to autronic later in the year :devil:

i already own the management, i bought it for the fiesta ages ago to do the ZT but then i decided that i didnt wanna spend all that cash on a ZT, so i thought now rather than sell it i may aswell put it to use on my cossie :D rather than sitting in my draw :lol: ....


as for the height mine has been abused in that department only thing that has been really :( loser before me put wrong / too low springs on hence i get a bad ride and its a pig over bumps etc etc... i already have koni's so one of the best setup's on the ecossie is running ahmed springs and koni's for road / track use... otherwise coilovers are £1200+ and are terrible on the road.. so i'm going for the £160 springs and use my koni's :wink: :lol:

and finally for the rims i shall be paying a visit to martin@reyland as he lives 9 miles away frm my moms :lol: :o so i shall be seeing him to sort them out... i want the new mo's but slightly different hence me paying him a visit and should be able to get a discount as wont need delivery (hopefully)

on cossie's you have a stone deflector and a splitter :wink: and also the famous hockey sticks :) ....

but unfortunally the stone defletor which you refer too has took a bit of punishment due to being so low so i bought a carbon one which turned out to be more than cracked off ebay :rolleyes: so we are sorting the cracked bits out then i am gonna be SPEEDLINING it for those not knowing what this is its a v v v tough spray on liner the bodyshop has now started doing this it will withstand ANY punishment bar a head on :lol: but stone will never chip it and this stuff is ace so thats good, also the splitter and hockey sticks were bit scraped b4 i bought the car so gonna replace or repair them :)

:lol: na i only realised after month or 2 of buying it, it was too low :( so i ordered the springs asap fine now :) .....

as for the fuel thing nothing major really but with alot of talk of pumps not being up to the job i'm concerned so i was thinking of modding a std ecos tank by removing the intank pump (but using the returns) and using a lift pump to a swirl then using a 044 pump with braided lines to the bay sounds dodgy but that WOULD guarentee permenant fuel... as the intank ones can struggle under constant pressure :rolleyes: ....

or another one was using a high powered intank as a lift then the same theory ie. to a swirl then a 044.... not sure what i'm gonna do yet tho :bonkers:

Or get a roof rack and put the tank on the roof. That would always guarantee fuel going into the engine.
