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

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.

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

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.

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..

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.
