    Nitrous

    Difficulty depends on abiilty really but i'd say 4/10 if thats any use. 1 being changing a wheel lol. Its a very basic electical system with 30amp relay, main arming switch and a WOT microswitch, a main line for nitrous and a t piece into the main fuel line. The most important part is making sure the jetting is right so's not to run lean but again its easily determined with fuel pressure and bottle pressure input into a nitrous jetting calculator online. I set mine up on the rich side take to it reliable. I got my bottle filled at acceleration services in rochdale for £64

    Lol no i just havent reset the clock since i disconnected the battery. That been said it was 11:30 :-0 I was shortshifting a little bit. I've had the limiter removed from mine so itcan rev well into the red. It does drop off a little quicker than usual because of the lightened flywheel but a little blip on the upshifts sorts it out. I was being "inconspicous" lol

    Haha, thanks. I thought it would be a wish list thing for a while til the kit popped up.

    Lol i did warn it may be mildly immature :) The kit cost me £300 of a guy on ebay. He had bought it brand new (£650) and never fit it. Secondhand kits can be picked up complete for £200ish A couple of bits and bobs. Relay, couple of screws etc, longer fuel pipe and a fuel pressure gauge about £20, correct nitrous/fuel jets £10 and £64 to fill the bottle. So bout £400 all in but i will need a bottle warmer to maintain bottle pressure @950psi I can see it being very addictive, bring on the cams :) ---------- Post added at 9:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 9:10 AM ---------- Slightly better vid with a more conpetent cameraman. 2nd gear 3k bottle at 950psi, i swear it nearly wheelied lol Again apologies for the girly noises etc lol

    Hi stone, Its a single fogger wet kit with the fogger in the intake boot just before the TB, i have installed a 30amp fused switching relay and a master arming switch and a WOT switch at the throttle linkage. The bottle is going to be mounted inbetween the rear seats :) it might seem like a silly idea at first but it make tuening the bottle on and keeping an eye on the bottle pressure much easier for now and i will install a blowdown tube. Pics will be up soon and i do have a little viddy i'll stick up shortly :) ---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ---------- Quick viddy, apologies for the actual ****ness of it my friend/cameraman apparently has some kind of nervous disorder which stops him holding a camera still for any period of time, and the obviously childish repsonse from myself and aforementioned spacktard http://s205.photobucket.com/user/fastlad999/media/9925AF0A-1B8E-459C-95EA-941656412B40-1266-0000017552504FA8.mp4.html

    Well i finally did it!, i've sprayed my corrado :) Found a cheap unused NOS kit on the bay, did my research over the last few months and installed it over the last few days, fuel pressure and bottle pressure all calculated to give me the correct jet sizes and did my first sprayed run lastnight. Had my C dyno'd a few weeks back to give me a proper power reading (not over estimated like most people i know) and she was putting out a very healthy 185 bhp, 2.8. so i've opted for a 50 shot first. So me and a friend went somewhere quiet and give it a go. BLOODY HELL what a difference that has made, not sure on the actuall power to the wheels yet as i've set it up on the rich side to be safe but jesus it dont half pick up well now defo 215+ possibly 235 if the 50 shot is working properly :)
  9. Yeah i thought it sounded about right, looking to get cams and a nitrous system at some point :)
  10. A few of us got together at the weekend for a RR day at custom tuning in bradford who were doing power runs for £25 so i thought i'd throw the corrado on just to see what she was making, Its AAA conversion with a chip with limiter delete (origin unknown) BMC CDA, decat and back box delete (yes its f*cking loud) and a lightened flywheel, the flyhweel doesnt make any power difference i know.. She came in at 183.4, now i dont know what my mods should be producing but i think its quite a respectable figure for what is basically a 174bhp standard engine :). That being said it does smell very rich so perhaps with an AFR run and a chip tune it might eek a few more out. Any thoughts?
  11. As listed. Cash sale or p/x for my standards in excellent condition. No cracks etc Please :)
  12. I have one of these on my vr and they make an amazing racket :)
  13. Thanks for the replies guys, bit of a moot point now tho as i got in the car tonight and the window started working again!! Sods law really as it hasnt worked for at least 2 weeks
  14. chavvy, lol i can see the point of them if your car has a show quality paint job and your on your way to a show or a weekend hoon but ppl that put them on just to accessorise their car???, what they dont realise is if you leave them on all the time all the road grit end up underneath said bra and ruins the finish of the paint on the bonnet and o a final note, BRA'S ARE FOR TITS NOT CARS!!! rant over, have a nce day :)
  15. i have conducted a srearch but found no definitive answer to this, my passenger window stopped working a few days ago (in the up postion thank god) and now refuses to do anything. drivers side switch and passenger side switch both produce a voltage drop when the car is running so the switches are good. but there is no noise, clicksm ,sounds of any kind coming from the window itself, is it the control module or the reg? as i said i did a search but no one actually stated what the fix was/is thanks jamie

    A mate of mine i've known him years. He has a page on facebook (cp customs). They are a great finish but they're not "perfect". But at £20 a corner (mates rates) who's complaining :)

    Nearly there now. Just a few days for the lacquer to harden properly then the tyres can go back on and i can do a test fit :)
  20. As a beginer i'd try stay away from ferecla. Its a good product but holy **** its hard to use. Im use maguairs ultimate compound. Its not heavy but itcsn be quite effective. Im a mobile valeter and use it with a variable speed polisher on a regular basis to remove light scratches and scuffs etc with good results :)
