kit looks well mate , needs a spoiler, and maybe a bit lower on the back imo, myself i have gone off slabs but they might look good if you give them a refurb

[jayybull]

should look quailty then pal

[jayybull]

not sure what tyres to go for on my slabs, can i get any other lower profiles than 195/45/15 atal ?

[jayybull]

picked up a set of morette lights for free so i fort i would take them anyways they need spraying but what s/paper grit is best to use on the morette masks?
also is there a law on front indicators as i dont want 2 ruin my gsi bumper.

[M4RSH4LL]

not so much a law i dnt think as u need for mot just man ...

[PRICER]

you just need front indicators, thats about it otherwise no-one will be able to see where your going.

[jayybull]

ill stick with normal lights and get the HID kit when i can, dont know what ill do with these morettes then.

update- car has finally had the fault found, happend to be the plastic casing running along the inlet mainfold had come lose slightly and wasnt connecting with injector 3, so i've pushed it down and once i get a cable tie, ill strap that down. now im going back into action getting the wheels sorted on new profiles and sprayed black. after that its new coilovers n camber bolts. then finish off the bodywork which im still waiting from a friend then its all done

[jayybull]

update was working on the car today changing the passengers side cv, seem to be going thru these alot and i cant see why as i dont drive it wreckless, dont wheelspin and done 3 cvs now, but while i was changing the inner i noticed i gotta do the outer cv aswell, but the inner cv got me puzzled as the cav 2.0l cv boot i got that was ment to fit the 1 that i had on the car didnt fit was too big. luckily at a mates garage he has 1 that was nearly the same size so we changed that but now i gotta do another outer cv boot.

[jayybull]

Can anyone recommand any good mods at all to a standard xe engine that doesnt include bike carb'ing
after a set of -60mm springs all round of coilovers and tx autosport radiator

seeing as the car is running well now, im stuck on what to do to it until i get my boot & bonnet from my mate. been searching for a C20LET engine aswell as thats a route i really wanna do on this car or save some more cash up sell this n get a Astra SRi/ GSi. just cant decide.

[Jamie1991]

not really xe is rubbish for tuning unless going for throttlebodies etc... best just going to the let if your going for power....

[jayybull]

yeah i think i will, searching for one now as we speak.

[jayybull]

going to look at a 2.5" centre section n mainfold apparently word is its a chris ashley system but with out a backbox today and getting it for a nice price just down the road from me but i will need to get that but i think i sourced that off a friend aswell so hopefully that will make my car sound alot better as the noise is awful at high revs atm.

[tychogsi]

i think you done it allready...
but you should if you have not remove the "half moon" on the butterly of the throttlebody..
You wont notice it mutch but breaths a little better

For real power you should go with let or throttlebodies, bike carbs etc..

[jayybull]

im just slowly savin up for a LET engine but for now ill just do the std mods that havent been done yet to the car that need doing.
as previous stated went to look at this mainfold n centre section and it was worth the money, turns out the mainfold is 2.5" at the bottom unlike the std one which is a bonus ill get a pic up of it later wen back from work and some updated pics.
