Project Duracell

well as some of you may know, my car went down to GT-ART last June for remap after the rebuild.

Gary said that it was struggling for fuel @ top end and was suffering from high inlet temps, so only mapped it to low boost.

since then i've been saving for to get it done, aswell as adding a few more bits; including: Greddy Plenum; Q45 Throttle Body; HKS GTR fuel rail, Sard 700cc top-feed injectors, Water injection kit, Adj ex cam pulley, new fuel regulator; Ally Rad; HKS Kansai strut brace; bonnet dampers; engine damper; chrome plated pulley cover and some others are cant remember right now.

well car has been with Andy for a while now and should be off back down to GT-ART at the end of next week.

It turned up filthy like that, this was how it looked when i gave it him back last time



see see PROOF

[KRISS]

no Andy thats what it looked like when he dropped it off

[Al_Star]

ill take all credit for the dirtyness of it apart from the dust

[KRISS]

lol, yeah not cleaned mine once yet since picking it up.

Andy was it AC 90 that stuff u recomended?

[Al_Star]

i used autoglym metal polish and it brought the plenum and inlet pipe up nice just before i sold them

to keep it clean yes or Duck oil

[B&Q]

to keep it clean yes or Duck oil

funnily enough I was just looking for something that I can use to clean all my ESP & other sourced engine shiney bits up. Can I used AC90 stuff to bring back a slightly neglected bay? I want it looking nice again!

[Al_Star]

well i decided that with the engine all looking nice the outside wasn't looking as good with few marks on the bodywork so i decided on a respray/colour change at the beginning of april.

although i've never been a fan of my front bumper (was on car when i bought it) i was going to leave it for now and maybe change it at a later date

but saw this kit for sale and had to have it




thats why im after some double 6 wheels to keep the theme throughout

[Spinky]

Mate that looks stunning I really like the colour choice, spot on!!!!

[Al_Star]

sorry, should have worded it better

that is a picture of 'Doug S's car and he has sold me the bodykit, i do really like the colour but mine would then look exactly like his did and i want to be different

colour will be eye catching though

we had a quick test fit on thursday and i cant wait till it goes back in april
