abzsti Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Does the IC pipe work look like its for a different version though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 What do you mean mate ? The intercooler &pipeworks aftermarket so it's up to the person who's installed it as to which pipes to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abzsti Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 For me it looks like a cheap eBay kit and doesn't really sit that well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Ah fair enough, whats your plans ? Rip it out and start again or just try and re route & improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abzsti Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Wasn't an area I was really looking into but after a wee look around the engine bay area I think I will have to swap it for a better fitting IC Any ideas which kit for a good fit at a good price? Loads on eBay but guessing most of them are pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 No idea mate it's jot something I've looked at before someone will be along to point you in right direction though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Looks like the pipework might be either from a early classic or newage cos the silicone join pipes are in a different position to most classic one's ive seen . japspeed fmic's have a fairly good rep think there about £200 new Autobahn work well about £150 second hand (if you can find one) I was lucky enough to pick up my hdi fmic for £200 second hand (but only trial fitted not used) as they're about £450 new is the core branded and in good condition ? If so it might be worth scouring the forum's to see if someone will split their kit and sell you just the pipework/joiners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abzsti Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Just had a look and the Japspeed one is £300 posted, that's a price I will be happy to pay Think the problem has been that the car is actually a 97 registered car and I believe is slightly different from 96 and below engines. They have probably just bought a classic IC without looking properly Core is good but doesn't seem to have any branding on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abzsti Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Well the car has been sitting at home for a wee while without me as my work has had me in Singapore Since November. Had people starting her up and taking it for a spin. While I have been away bought a pioneer double din Stereo, upgraded the front speakers and bought a Blitz Nur Spec R cat back system. All waiting to go on when I return at the end of the month Now looking for some nice alloys to replace the current ones which i'm going to keep for my winter set 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Addressing the sounds inside and out - like it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abzsti Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 The blitz exhaust wasn't a success, turns out that the system on the car at the moment doesn't break at the same location as standard. So have sold the exhaust, got what I paid so all good. Bought some alloys which should come shortly. Gone with BK 333's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Looks good, few mods i've spotted with it so far ( in case you didnt know), V3 car, Wheels Face lift front end rear spoiler (v5 rep or possibly P1 spoiler cos of the carbon lip) P1 front lip P1 seats (can tell from the blue on the bottom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
