Jos Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 It's been a stressfull week for me, had a deadline to meet at work and I had to finish my car before friday 9:00 am, that's when I had my appointment for MOT. Because of those circumstances the only test drive I could do after rebuilding my car for 1,5 years was an hour before MOT, but fortunately all went well!!! she flew through mot, and I had the wheels alligned while I was at the garage.

Jos Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Thanks guys! I've been a bit busy with the dutch forum, and work, and offcourse driving my pride and joy . That's why I haven't been posting for a while, although I checked the forum regularly to see how things were here . Also had some problems after a while with the sequential system and not boosting fully, but after some searching and fiddeling she now runs great and at 1,2 bar again! Tested all the actuators and vsv's (thanks for the tech writeups here) and now I have some more understanding of how the sequential system works. Have a few little plans for winter, but keeping her as she is now for this season, and trying to kep her in one piece before JEA:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jos Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 We had a little nurnburgring meet last sunday with a few members of the dutch forum, was great fun although I was a little bit nervous first time on the track. But she did great, and I didn't have a problem for the entire trip . Next time I will need to set the suspension a bit higher, had some rubbing in the front arch, and play a bit more with my boostcontroller, sometimes it will overboost a little, but not much. some photo's: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Facelift lights all round and you'll be onto a winner...!! Lovely stance and offset. Silver can look fantastic with the right wheels and when kept mint. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jos Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks James!, its funny you say that, I saw a silver ukspec with facelifts a week ago and I loved how it looked, so was thinking of getting them for next year. Or maybe refurbish a pair of pre-facelifts, since I would need a pair of lhd lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I'm sure someone on here has a set of LHD facelifts for sale.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jos Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Amazing project Jos. What was the cause of the problem of low boost? Thanks Iky, sorry for the late reply, got caught up in work so forgot to post here:imsorry:. First there were a few old vacuum lines wich I suspect to have possibly leaked a little, so I've renewed those, also I changed the spark plugs for a colder grade, and I might have underestimated the effect of warmer air on the boost level, now with my boost controller properly setup she runs great.
