bluntys1rsturbo

COSSIEGAZ

Have you seen the vid on YouTube of marks orange r5 he now has launch control


Will look nice with fresh paint, are you doing engine bay as well or just door shuts and out side?

bluntys1rsturbo

yes matey iv seen it i sorted that group buy for the nodiz kit. had a few probs but we got there in the end.

just doing the outside and shuts etc, would be nice do engine bay but for now it can stay as it is

COSSIEGAZ

That's cool, how much we're the kits and gather easy to fit? I've never heard of that brand before

bluntys1rsturbo

its a brand new product developed by a tuning company, i got to know the guy who runs the place and sorted us the group buy, leave it with me and ill get you the exact figures, getting easier to fit etc as with it being new were like the guinea pigs so a few teething probs.

COSSIEGAZ

Still thinking about doing the turbo clio for a laugh so would be another thing to add to a long list lol

bluntys1rsturbo

have you seen chips clio turbo on here, makes a tad over 300bhp and is a real track weapon, defo worth having a word with him

RSRick3290

Good progress

COSSIEGAZ

Saw a few bits about it but would be nice to see more info on it

bluntys1rsturbo

cheers matey its getting there now

bluntys1rsturbo

drop him a pm, hes a top fella am sure he will give you some no bs advise

COSSIEGAZ

Ok I'll pm him later, had a bit of crap on Mlr and hearts not really into cars at mo so just having a time out to think about things.

bluntys1rsturbo

Dont let anything on a forum get to you fella and defo dont let anything posted change your mind etx

COSSIEGAZ

It was a stupid joke that got taken the wrong way by a person I thought knew what I was like. It wasn't just that its a few other things that have gone on, felt like I need to build a car to please everyone and conform to rules, hence the reason for a time out and maybe do a fun car like the clio. Ill pm you in a sec

COSSIEGAZ

Couldn't send chip a pm as his inbox is full

bluntys1rsturbo

good news a couple more jobs have been done on my car

bluntys1rsturbo

had a good morning on the car today, got most of the bits back together, turbo,carb and related bits,manifold/downpipe etc etc only a couple of bits left to connect back up then its time to prime the turbo and fire her up
i bloody forgot take a picture of the engine after all things were back in place

andybond

You running the nodiz Andy ?

Going for launch control ?

bluntys1rsturbo

not running the nodiz fella, gotta get alot of extras etc to get it up and running so iv decided to put it on hold until the end of this year when ill be adding a few diff things to the spec of engine

bluntys1rsturbo

fingers crossed going get a few more hours in on the car this weds, and might even have it fired up
just hoping when it goes in for paint its not there for ages as id love have it ready before end of may

bluntys1rsturbo

big very pleasing update

my car is now back alive and running sweet as a nut i can now start to see the light at end of the tunnel

RSRick3290

Great news drop us a pm when it back on the road want to see it in the flesh

bluntys1rsturbo

of course rick would be good to meet up fella

bluntys1rsturbo

popped around the garage on my way between jobs today, drivers door is now fitted, i also started the car and my god it sounds so much better back on the oe manifold, must say the longlife 2.5" system sounds sweet.

just waiting on hearing back from the painter now as to when he can get my car in fingers crossed its asap

COSSIEGAZ

thought you might have a small vid of the start up lol

glad its coming together, will be nice once you have it back from paint so you can enjoy it.

had a quick look at my hyundai getz today as the exhaust has ben blowing for ages from the front, what we found was there is no obvious sign of a blow ( soot etc ) but the flexi is so easy to stretch so i would say its that. if it had been the exhaust manifold then it would of been a issue as its the manifold and cat all in one and would cost £160 but this bit of pipe for a new one is about £30 and from man/cat bk its about £120 so might do the rest of the system as its looking scabby. After that its the front top mounts, service and a good clean but that can wait till after snetterton on the 27th.

bluntys1rsturbo

i would of got a vid but i dont take my proper phone work with me, just got a very old basic nokia as my work phone no camera/internet etc etc

result on the exhaust matey, my lady just had to renew the manifold on her w reg seat ibiza, much better now tho

CrOwSoN15

Great news mate, not long now! Looking good.

bluntys1rsturbo

thanks fella

not so good news on this certain painter got at least a 4 week wait, so im trying another couple of very good painters i know see what they come back with
