it seems to come slowly back down the revs though. what have you done with your air map sensor?

plans now is that im going for the sleeper look so ill be getting ride of the alloys and going with some steelies gloss black and maybe one of the black tail pipe back boxes that you can get from chris ashley so i can get it looking as sleeper as possable. Anyone eles got any ideas on how i can get the look? How about non- colour coded bumpers?

change to plans im not going for the sleeper look im just going to stick with the wheels i already have but change the back springs to 40mm instead of 60mm so the tyres don't clip the arches as much over bumps. Also ill have to place rubber or the rear beam to stop knockinby the exhaust.
Next up will be getting a FPR fitted so i can get the fueling right with the throttle bodies i am running,start saving up for new management will be after that as well unless i can get the girlfriend to get me some for xmass lol good old bird lol

Really looking into new engine management as well at the moment and i think im going to go for the omex 600 ecu and will be going down to the boys at track and road to have it fitted and mapped.Will get pics up of the rebuild if i can when im doing it. any input is always welcome, the aim is 150bhp and i think i will get close to that just need to get some cams and i think it is deffo pos.

rite just a lil update lastnight i got it all srtipped down and pistons out and found out that the head gasket had gone on cylinder 4 so just as well im doing what iam doing. Pulled out the pistons and they were coverd in oil wich is not good and had a look at the valve steams and there was alot of oily gunk so the new head willcome in handy now lol. as for the bores there are only very light scraches so thats all good. but there is a better compertion on on two of the cylinders then the other two so a mate of mine said do he throttle bodies have to be balanced and im not sure if thry do or not but we will have a lil play around and see what is what.
So the plan for today is to get the pistons cleand up and the bores horened the replace the bearing and cheack over the crank, get piston rings on and fit allthebottom end back togeather and move on to the head.
