Well have had the car for a few months and have done a few minor things to it.

First thing i did was a K+N Panel filter which i picked up for free

Then i put in a Apexi Turbo timer

Then got some 8000K Bi Xenon Hid's

finally found a hard top for it ( still need to get it painted )

Picked up a set of 19" RJR Tremors off scott.

Then after the drags the clutch was fucked so replaced it with an extreme organic clutch.

Also this week i pick up the Excal II flash tuner as i am slightly bored with the power now so will be off to see Brett at Monsta Torque for a tune.

Few pics of how it currently looks

has run a best of 14.20 with shit tyres so hoping after tune to get into the 13's a lil easier.

Next things on list are
tint windows
tint side and rear lights
Injectors + fuel pump
Lower
Front + rear sway bars.

so hoping to have this done by powercruise.

Launch's are a bitch in the manuals ai.

Swaybars will transform it into a different car/ute & the tune will keep you happy as Larry! Rob & Brett know their stuff when it comes to BA/F's mate!!

$100 is that all? oh wait im gettin them confused with exxy HID's etc..

easy as piss.

The most annoying part is usually drilling into the back to fit the wires.

Can do it in just over an hour. The kits are really user friendly.

Yea just got to ring brett and suss out when he can tune it.

Was easier plus had bad camber wear on inside.

Out of interest, how do you find the HIDs in non-projector housings?

adrenalin
10-05-2009, 06:52 PM
Yea pretty good to be honest. Not sure if its more to do with the bulb temperature i chose ( as i have 6k ones in the e30 )

mitchy
10-05-2009, 06:59 PM
the 6k would be brighter than the 8k, and a lot less blue.

adrenalin
10-05-2009, 07:02 PM
yea 6k is white however it seems to light up the road alot better then the E30 ( prob more to do with the headlights themselves then )

mitchy
10-05-2009, 07:04 PM
i'd say so.. i've got decent halogen bulbs in my 31's projectors, and they are still fucking useless, lol.

Mistikal
10-05-2009, 08:19 PM
Mitchy, I threw a set of 6000k HID's at the Astra, improved the output/visibility biiiig time.

Ute looks good man, can't wait to see it lowered with tinted lights, will look fantastic.

Well after all the shit that has happened with turbo blowing up its finally all sorted and i get it back this week.

Long story short i got a phone call saying they wanted to send my ecu over east to check if its flash tuned. However because the problem wouldnt matter wether boost was turned up or not they have agreed to cover it under warranty so have a new turbo.

Also some asshole decided to him my car in carpark and drive off so going to respray front bar myself as its not worth insurance claim and is an excuse to finally spray the hard top.

Also contemplating spraying the centres of the rim the same black as the car

Ohh cant wait to see the rims re sprayed man, sucks about having people damage your car and take off like that man.. should look mind once hardlid sprayed too man!

Your lucky getting a new turbo from Fraud, my car went in today for some warranty work, ive got the gearbox's flexplate bolts coming off sounds hell dodgy when the car is under 1200rpm :X hopefully they wont be like "oh but your car is modified.." all they gotta do is rip out g/box tighten bolts and boom finito.. ah wel see how things go..

Chuck up some new pix when rims+hardlid+bumper re-painted :)

adrenalin

yea within 3 months of owning car i went in with a list of 13 things.

I got 11 of the 13 fixed under warranty plus a bit more they found so i was pleased.

SOmething like that they prob will fix as its not broken just loose.

I work for Ford, since when do they send ecu's away lol, we've never done that, we just replace if its still under warrenty, most times if it been flash tunned the diagnosis software wont connect with the pcm

06-06-2009, 03:37 PM
