Ive just picked up my new car. Ive been to see a few recently, then came across this one and had to have it!!

























Been out all day in it and just cant stop driving it now!!

 

well done mate... good luck my friend... keep saving

 

looks great mate. worth getting with all those bits how much was it ?

 

has that thing ever been out in the rain?

looks amazing mate!

 

sweeeeeet

 

real nice good buy small turbo must be running around the 300bhp mark then with all that kit

 

Thanks for the comments. I know the guy I bought it from, wouldnt dream of letting it out in even damp conditions let alone rain!!

Adam, I have a power graph for 322 bhp and 290 lb/ft. I believe that was before the water injection was fitted, although im not sure that would give it a little more as I dont know about water injection at all to be honest.

Thanks for the commnets.

 

Gorgeous

 

wicked glad yo got a goodun mate (just be safe and check you got a 4bar fuel reg on it) you got some good stuff on there mate defo a good buy..

i'm gonna take mine on the rollers start of next yr see what mine is running since my last graph

 

Whats the spec of the engine,, what turbo does it have fitted?!

 

Cheers Adam, I do have a receipt in the service history for uprated regulator from GGR, but doesnt say if its 4 bar though. Is there anyway of checking?

maxest, I have receipts for re-map at GGR, with uprated fuel pump and regulator, induction kit, de cat magnex, aquamist water injection, turbotechnics 5133 hybrid turbo. Power graph looks really smooth for both power and torque.

 

looks smart as fuck and also in the best colour

 

looks mint mate

could do with being lowered a bit though

 

Lovly that mate

 

looking good mate agree with the lowering comment

 

Looks an absolute stunner

 

if GGR had it it will have the correct regulator on bro they always fit the uprated one thats good gives you some time to go enjoy it now .....

always room for advancing later on same as me you can always change the management when your ready

 

sweet mate

good power too

and looks the part

Well done

 

Looks nice mate

Get it lowered a bit

 

as above , v v clean in deed, 1 question though.... has it acyuallt got any oil in the sump... ??

ive never seen a cossie engine without some traces of oil dripping down or blown out form some seal/gasket from somethwre in the engine, ever!!

 

you missed the ARB then Dave

 

thats a real stunner! what sort of mileage has it covered mate?

 

Damo, yeah it seems to be blowing back a bit off the sump. Are these easy enough to change?

 

Boostaholic, its done 42k mate.

 

The sump... Nooooooooooo MAJOR job, easier with the engine out..

see if you can get the car in the air see exactly where its coming from, post some pics up...

 

cheers mate cant wait to see it at some shows next year im well jealous!

 

Boost, you may do mate.

damo, im not that technical so bear with me mate, where the o/s drive shaft goes into, its coming from the cover on the bottom of that.

Cheers mate.

 

oh result, thats the front diff...undo the ten bolts, with a tray underneath, abouth a litre of diff oil will drop out

Take diff cover off, clean the joins on the cover and diff case, apply an adequate ammount of sealant, bolt back up again and refill with diff oil..

Job done!!! OR just check the diff pan bolts are all tight... but dont over tighten them..

Get used to being under the car wont you

 

Ahh thats sounds ok then. Ill sort it tomorrow. Any idea what oil ill need mate?

Thanks.

 

Get some from Ford mate... I THINK you will need at leats 1 litre, it is filled via the hole where the big allen bolt is...

 

Ok cheers, thanks for your help mate.

 

i used castrol taf-X fully synthetic 75W90, as it does get hot being so close to the engine and turbo and downpipe it gets more grief than the rear diff 1 litre is what it takes


and yes,,, i thought it was too good to be true


cossies

 

FLMAO never a truer word spoken

 

Its definatly just comin from the diff plate. It'll give me something to do tomorrow while im off work.

Its a real shame I cant drive it in this weather. And Ive been very tempted I must admit!!! Quite funny that I buy the car ive wanted since I was 17 and cant even let it out the garage!!!

 

I was like that when I bought mine.... You'll grow out of it make the most of the insurance etc

 

Though I should add.... I HATE SALTY roads... I abore taking the car out while its like this

 

Ive really really got to resist it though. I was like this with my S1 until I got caught out in the rain with it once and then used it a couple more times when it was wet. Although the S1 was no where near like this underneath.

Agree about the salt, nasty stuff!! Although funnily enough, I havnt seen a single gritter out round my area at all this winter.

 

Check the front crank oil seal mate,they all leak from there and the oil gets blown all over the sump,a/r/bar etc

 

no gritters lucky you mate the roads are like a bloody beach around here!
you must be in australia!

 

That IS a nice car you got there M8
