outlaw Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 hi all from another newbie,picked this up at the right price, needs plenty of work on the exterior but it has potential once the warmer weather arrives.. but i do need to source some cossie front wings of either steel or fibre glass and a different bonnet.. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p314/sparxuk/Dscf4309.jpghttp://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p314/sparxuk/Dscf4302.jpg its running a 1.8 si that has piper cams, stage 2 head, nissan 375 cc/min injectors, superchiped ecu, remus sports exhaust,, high pressure fuel pump, mahle pistons and piper-X induction kit. (only problem is that it does over fuel) it shall be going on the rolling road in a few weeks for tuning and output report.... i will update what the results are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykez69 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 thats awesome just the middle top vent would of been ok on the bonnet i think, but deffo need to get rid of the bottom vents, too much going on bonnet you go easyish job just to do front wings i reckon, badboyclub on here is selling a full cossie kit, he might sell the front wings seperate oh change the mirrors what are those alloys? im after something like that for mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Welcome. Intereted in seeing it from more angles Hoping to find one where it looks bearable? Sorry, but it's really not my thing. You'll want to put the right injectors in before you cause damage to the engine, a superchip isn't going to have enough remit to handle the Nissan ones that have been [incorrectly] fitted.

Andy 3i Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 What gives you that idea? It was a completely innocent comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_Si Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Yeah, that does look... interesting. Glad you didn't say 'I'm keeping it as it is'! Needs a lot of work in my book but should be worth it in the long run. How much did you get it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_2f2f Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) What Cosworth kit is that, it looks like a cheap rep, doesnt even have the correct lines in the bodywork?? Its got potential, but I would reccommend changing those back arches to better ones, get the rear wheel's spaced out & tidy the front end up.
