Wish i could find a new shiny bonnet🙁. Just bonnet and passenger side door bump strip lets my car down.

I need new front wings still which it why I haven't replaced the bumper guides yet. I'll be speaking to ad Edwards in the new year and getting some.
Go on torque motors mate or email them if they don't have what you need he will probably be able to get it soon enough and it's fair prices.
I've just got a genuine gsi gear stick and arch spats for £60 I think no damage either 🙂

Look spot on smithy, iv seen alot of laguna splitters being fitted to corsas. I dont what thats about but yours looks nice. Still very red.(y)(y)

Yeah that's common these days I've got an espace splitter on my megane but I wouldn't do it to the van lol I wasn't sure weather or not to put this one on but the ones I've seen do look good so I thought i would try it

Will drop them a line after the holiday period. See Courtenay sport out of stock on the idle pully bracket. Get that ordered next then i think its just small bits i need and spare time lol

Then when spent up for the month, just live off baked beans till next payday 😉. A part from the base map. I don't think any item over £60 i got to get after the bracket. Maybe map sensor not sure.

Yeah that's it 🙂 I haven't actually used any money I saved for the conversion yet as it's cash and everything's gone on my debit card so if I struggle I pull that out lol
If cs are out of stock on the bracket can you actually get one still?

no! now! 🙂 lol

Ill charge my phone and go out to the van just for you 🙂

Slightly concerned about this little bugger which I assume is a breather or something? I'm not sure if I can straighten it as it's kinked but I'm sure it's no biggie replacing it as I can see the other end in the manifold

milo

Excited now? I was once I opened mine up lol

5M1THY

Yeah lol 🙂 I'll get it all out properly tomorrow. I'm no expert but the internals on the charger from what I can see are new there isn't any marks or anything. I don't know if there is normally but it really looks clean inside which is nice

Bet you cant wait. I hope your conversion goes smoother than mine is.

Ours is off a shelf build bud so its straight forward, yours is a new unknown build and a 1st. You'll get they

i dont feel like it today. i need tech 2 i think n thats like £400 or someone who has it but they want like £120 to do it, n with the car not talking to the ecu with op-com, i dont want to get someone to come out and it not work so i would have to pay them there travel for nothing. im crying while i type this by the way. hahahahaha

the small tube from the inlet is for a vacuum take off like for fpr or bypass valve.
have you fitted it yet? if not why not? :LOL:

chill

It's the fuel pressure regulator on that pipe
The bypass is connected on the other side of the SC rotors near where the theottle bodie and bypass are mounted

Here is a pick

See through pipe is FPR to the I let manigold
And the bypass vacuum further back in picture

Cheers guys well the fpr has been kinked and has a hole in so I've snapped it off and drilled it out and lucky for me my father inlaw is an engineer so he's going to make me a new one out of some 5mm stainless pipe so that's no issue everything else looks spot on.
I'm going to order everything I need after Xmas then crack on with it 🙂

I got the van all tracked yesterday and it drove really nice then went out for a late night goon with a mate and it started misfiring... I got it home and just parked it up but it's only under load and it does clear sometimes so I'm hoping it's just plugs or at most the coil pack but I need to have a look hopefully tomorrow
