So do these replace the standard dash parts or do they stick over them?

 

Both, some are replacement panels and some are overlays which stick on

 

Done some more work on the car over the weekend. Installed a Japspeed alloy rad, intercooler and a set of Samco hoses in blue.

Had a right ball ache getting the intercooler in but its sorted now, didnt know I needed extra parts for the BOV so I have had to cap the pipes off. Have to say I love the sound now but still in 2 minds if im going to keep it like that

 

If it's running okay and you like the flutter leave the DV off - I did on mine for a while

I also left the bracket off that braces it to the manifold, but with no battery under the bonnet or aircon I don't need it - it just means I no longer foul the oil filler cap

 

The pipes are 2.5" on the fmic aren't they? Did it take you long to do it?

Cheers

 

I do like the sound and when the car is finished with all the carbon etc it'll be a good head turner at shows

At the moment its taking longer to spool and feels like its dragging its heels a bit but im guessing that should be sorted with a remap?? or im hoping so anyway

Yes all 2.5 mate, throttle body is 2.75 and turbo 2 but you should get all the hoses anyway. Took me a while to do it yes because I didnt know what to do with the BOV so I had to buy extra bits in plus my throttle body to pipe reducer was missing too. Knowing now how to do it i think it'd take a couple of hours to fit

 

Good stuff was just looking at getting a hose to blank off dv exit as im running dv less cheers,
What sort of power you going for?

 

Im not going for power its for looks mate. When the car is finished it'll be our show car and the idea with the FMIC was to get the pipework under the bonnet and then cover it in real carbon

 

Tidy that will look a one off for sure looking forward to seeing it

 

Cheers mate, gonna carbon skin some other bits too so I'll post up when I get round to it. Next on the list is carbon door cards

 

Slowly getting there

 

You won't believe this but some of the goons on here would rather stick fake carbon vinyl on any component they can get there hands on

 

haha each the their own mate plus if you are on a budget then vinyl is the way to go

 

What have you got over the headlights??? Any good pics?

 

Mist, the photo was taken at 6am the other day

 

New photos:

Changes -
Skirts, smoothed into wings and painted
CF Reverse Scoop
CF Front Splitter
Sill Stickers

 

Carbon wheel is in

 

Looking good, has that been moulded or skinned?

 

Moulded mate, its dry carbon

 

Have you had your car mapped for the DV'less??? Was wondering if it drives better once mapped without a dump valve???

 

BOV is back on now mate I noticed a lack in performance when shifting, which is to be expected, and also the noise got annoying after a while

 

Did the same to my brothers STi, and the car didnt drive very well, on the motorway when you let off the accelerator it felt like the car was hitting a brick wall. But I wonder if you had it mapped for it, if it drives any better???

 

It was mapped for it but it wasnt any better, gear changes were very harsh and the turbo was very laggy. Since I put the standard BOV back on its a lot smoother. Plus I read horror stories of turbos giving in because they couldnt handle the compression stall, didnt fancy swapping it out Ive got too much to do

 

Took full advantage of yesterdays sun and got to work on the car.

Debadged


and cleaned.......first time in 4 months







Im taking her off the road in the next couple of weeks to start the BIG work

Exterior: CF Ducktail Boot Lid, CF Voltex Spoiler, CF Varis Diffuser, CF Side Skirt Steps, CF Canards and some more of our stickers
Interior: Full interior out and replace with - CF Parcel Shelf, CF Rear Firewall, CF Door Cards, Sparco Corsa Bucket Seats with Crow Harnesses

 

Your car looks quite aggressive, but I think it needs a nice set of wide(9.5") wheels or XXR 8,75" wide wheels, dont think the pff7's pull it off, they look a little skinny in the arches!!!

Other then that looks a nice car, looking forward to seeing the updates with the other carbon bits on there!!!!

 

Thanks mate, the plan is to get the Karlton style flares on and get some XXR 531 in 18x11

 

Hi Ben, forgot to say thanks for the bonnet scoop and tray from your car. Thanks to you got my car sorted, now with VF35 and STI intercooler, cheers Ben !

 

No worries mate glad you are happy with it
