You can get home flocking kits off of the net which apparently have yeilded some good results. Might look into getting some kit for my workshop if there is a call for it.

air filter kit looks good, have you got the arch liners in?

 

joint venture on the flocking?

yeah got all the liners in there . . was good fun fitting it as it honestly looked like it wouldn't all fit at one point. ITs a bit strange to see a maffless running a long induction tract but I like the uncluttered look of not having the filter in the bay. Only problem is finding the pipework that has no maff sensor hole in it to replace my old black, gaffer tapped piece.

 

Recieved these in the post a moment ago so will set about fitting in the next few days

 

Also got something else in the post ive been waiting for . . spot the difference

 

 

Thats cheating, there arent pics of the rear of the car anywhere else

And yes Could be up for doing some flocking etc, will look into getting the kit for it!

Is that coolant, air, and power steering hoses or just coolant?

 

Just coolant for the minute, as to the change . . it is something that can be spotted from the front too

 

Put your number plate on?

 

Well I have a leak from a rocker gasket . . car is booked in with martyn @ enginetuner tomorrow for both gaskets to be done new rubber o rings etc to get every thing back in ship shape again

 

Aps induction looks awesome !

 

Well since the last update I have had the rocker gaskets both replaced, taken delivery of my fmic and braided brake and clutch lines. Just looking for a break in the weather to crack on with it all . .

Also started removing the interior as I fancy going stripped out. Hopefully picking up a pair of fixed back bride buckets to complete the look

 

Note the dog photobombing!

Also ordered a boss so I can fit my dished wheel. Watch this space

 

Lovely looking car mate!

 

Cheers buddy, gonna take a few decent snaos tomorrow once ive played with a few bits

 

Did a bit of an impulse buy and got a snap off boss for my steering wheel, also got these from another forum member to go with the stripped feel

 

How much was the toucan all fitted and sensors?

 

Too much haha . . ECU, sensors and toucan was probably close to 2 grand all in

 

FML! I got the ecu already.

 

About a grand with all the sensors then

 

Well ive fitted my hoses, harnesses and stripped a faor bit of the interior out inckuding all the rear speaker wiring etc. Also taken delivery of this

 

 

And ended up like this

 

A little overkill on the ties but oh well . .

once I get thos fitted along with my fmic it will be in for another map (number 3). Spec will be:

Jdm sti 2.0 engine
Vf28 turbo/ standard injectors
Japspeed fmic
Japspeed 2.5 exhaust system
Japspeed wrapped downpipe
Aps induction
Alkatec ecu

Unsure of what power it will make but I reckon about 340bhp @1.4 bar and Maybe around 355 @ 1.5.

My turbo and injectors are going to be pretty much maxed out so those two will need replacing to hit my target 400bhp+, a bigger exhaust will also be on the horizon along with equal length headers

 

got hold of a sony as15 action cam, mocked up a quick bracket to dash mount it and went out last night for some test footage. Pretty impressed with the low light picture especially as it wasnt in 1080p mode although I think youtube has killed the quality

 

Cool camera, good bits of kit those!

And equal length all the way

 

Well I'm currently working away but since my last update the car has had its mot (no advisories again) and had a few more changes.

I've replaced a lot of the hoses in the bay including the induction pipe, added the dished steering wheel with snap off boss and stuck on a set of equal length headers from rcm. All being well when I'm home this weekend will take a load of pics and In car videos so you can all hear the new sound

 

Great thread & cracking car buddy,some nice mods too
That toucan is really trick

 

Pics are better than words usually

 

As you can see my new dished wheel and snap off boss are on . . Really enjoy driving with this wheel althought the indicators are now close to being out of reach but having had similar setups on a few cars it's something I'm used too.

Also wrapped and fitted my equal length headers and they sound lovely . Also changed a few hoses in the bay but on the whole it still looks crap in there . . Have ordered a new header tank on the group buy and am looking for a new inlet manifold too. Also going to sort my Frankenstein style induction tract out when I get some spare time
