I'm trying to sell 'um, want to buy them?

I wasn't sure which I prefered at first, but once I gave it a clean and stuck some tyre shine on um I swayed towards the comp mo's.

Cheers Ian, don't think i've seen P16 VLV'ers car before.

Arrrr Cheers mate

Yeah, the speedlines are cool, wanted 15's though which is why I got rid of the vectra sri alloys.

Why don't you get a cav arb and modify it? few people have done it and gave good reviews. I got the whiteline from balance motorsport but a couple have came up on here second hand since!

The Tigra coin tray.. Does it just sit in the groove of the carpet? Or is it best to cut out the shape of the groove in the carpet? If you know what I mean..

Just got one myself.

I just sat it in the groove in the carpet and used some carpet glue to hold it down.

Oh yeah... it's on the road now. Got some hubs from LMF in the end. It's missing when cold on start up though, so will need to sort that.

F28 is away getting the quaiffe fitted, then its off to be fitted along with a new clutch and a good service.

Well...

The miss has been sorted now, so all is good.

Took it to philip2 in the week who sorted me out with a new waterpump, cambelt, rollers and a good service

The petrol tank had a nice hole in it so replaced that on friday with a brand new item.

The diff is fitted into the F28 which will then hopefully be fitted by the end of next week.

Finally, went on the rollers today on the NW/NW Rolling road day and produced 265Bhp @ 4546RPM and 320lbft but struggled to put the power down past 4500RPM as it was spinning up...

Didn't take my camera so only got two pics atm...

Think I need to update this!

Had a fair bit of work done since the last update.

It's now running on an F28 with Quaife diff, equal length shafts and a new clutch...

Had the head gasket done by phillip2 and changed to an aluminium TX autosport rad/new fan and re-piped the coolant system as it was creating it's own air lock..

Fitted an in-tank Walbro 255 fuel pump and filter as it was still on standard pump and running lean past 4krpm

Its now on Bilstein B12's, as the spax coilovers were getting old. Sits a bit higher but is much more practical and handles better.

Got the rust free boot on and re-fitted the spoiler.

Got some eccentric top mounts to fit but haven't got round to it yet, and will probably fit the XE inlet cam at some point.

Probably missed stuff as it's been that long.

Will update with some pictures later of the work/parts/PVS...

The car died two weeks ago, turned out to be the altenator so replaced that and it came back to life.

Bought a new black intercooler and a 3" top hat/2.5" SS Pipework of a mate and set about fitting it...

Also bought a new Momo steering wheel but haven't got any pictures of it yet.
