evening all,
just thought i'd post up some pic's of my new car now i'v actually got it outside my house.


here's how it looked when i bought it... (morealess)













and how it look's now










i'v got a black rocker cover, carbon fibre cambelt cover, and a rs500 pro-alloy intercooler to go on yet, so i'll proberly be updateing this over the weekend or something

it's a stg 3, but i havnt got any dyno print out's unfortunetly, but when i can, i'll be taking it to torque of the devil for a health check and a dyno run, so should hopfully have some figure's soon.

unfortunetly, i havnt yet been able to use it... failed the 1st m.o.t on a few bush's, and then when it past on the re-try, i'd just pulled out of the m.o.t place and the brake's packed up ;( so i got to wait a wee bit longer until i get and new brake servo thing to actually have some fun with it... all good fun eh...? lol

but still, hopfully should have it at some show's this year, providing my walet can keep up with the car breaking lol

what y'all think anyway ??

 

i love this pic of your cossie

 

The problem with your breaks could be down to the fact you have removed the turbo heatshield, which in turn will cook the wiring to the master cylinder pump, if your peddle has gone hard i would check the wiring and plug, plus check the fuse aswell, might help.

 

looks so much better now mate-great stuff

 

oh right, but yeh it has gone rock hard, i'll check that first thing when i get back in a little while then, cheers dude
i would of kept the heat sheild, but it was painted blue really craply, and all the paint was pealing off any goin everywhere
look's like i'll be looking for a new one now then

 

cheers dude

 

+ 1

Looks good Mate!

 

Check the relay under the dash for the brake problem m8, mine went rock hard when it packed up.

Steve

 

which relay is that mate, sorry if thats a daft question, but this is my first saphy... im used to mk5 escort's

 

is that a real 6r4 in the background of picture 5

 

nice car m8 looks loads beta without thous stupid strips, they just wreck the cars looks

 

Not sure which one m8 as it was a while ago, its under the glovebox with a bunch of others.

Steve

 

Id have left the rs500 front splitter on...

 

much better, but get the splitter back on !!

 

ok, i'll have a butchus when i get home, finger's crossed it is only the relay, look's like a b*stard job taking all the servo and that out ;(

 

didn't actually come with the splitter, but i would of removed it anyway to get the car on and off my drive way...

 

looking good

 

Nice mate its different.

 

i dont think so, think it was a replica, but still had the engine mounted in the rear

 

got a wee update

finally got time to fit some new bit's over the weekend just gone...

new black rocker cover, chrome billet oil cap, and a carbon fibre cam cover






and my new rs500 pro-alloy intercooler squeezed in there





would of taken pic's with the bumper off so you can see it better, but i didnt have the camera with me at the time


just need a couple of other bit's to tidy it up abit more in the engine bay any all will be good

 

if your brake peddle is rock hard mate get it sorted.. I had no heat sheild on mine and...............



Yep rock hard brake peddle the day picked it up from getting it painted

 

thats harsh mate, gutted for ya!!
im not using it until i get the brake's sorted anyway, one of the front caliper's is seized abit aswel as the 2 rear's, would this be any thing to do with it you reckon??
