Looking forward to getting in on as the magnex is too tame for me. Got a 2 1/2 inch ktec downpipe and enlarged elbow to go on too so should free up thoses gases!
The early scorpions really do sound nuts and enlarged turbo elbow let's car burbble louder.
Hope so John! Need to unleash that warble! LolQuote:

Apexi power intake with samco bends, came with two diff reducers, bargain if you ask me
Cant wait to get it on
That is cheap! Is is a copy or real apexi filter?
Anymore for sale? Used the same filter on the race car and seem to work very well
DG
Got it of eBay mate it's second hand was only on the guys car for a few 100 mile as his wife didn't like the sound lol. It's the real deal tho came in box with instructions and that, it's like new!Quote:

It's abit tight but sounds awesome!! Defo wana get rid of the dv now
Thats the same as my scorpion, it sounds lovely, nice deep burble.
Filter looks a bargain
Yeah I've heard the old systems sound the dogs! Mate can't wait to get It on with downpipe and elbow. Yeah filter is a real bargain mate and really does sound ace! Lol not happy with its position tho so prob gona try and bring it closer to the wing if I canQuote:
Originally Posted by gttjames

http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...o/473cb5b5.jpg
http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...o/b282a949.jpg
Should sound great when I get the scorpion on and enlarged elbow and downpipe!
You have moved the filter to a worse position mate!! Either stick the original air box back on or move the filter to the front like you had it.:agree:
i really like this five. seems a really nice honest gt.was a great buy i rekon and some nice suttle mods.very nice:D:agree:
I know mate it's only temp until I have more of a play about with some bits of pipe work I have, plus I still can't decide weather to get a front mount in which case it will be going where the old intercooler is. It was touching the intercooler how I had it beforeQuote:

They also did it in a 4 point version so if it was me I would just cut the extra mounts off. :)
Cheers i will have a look
Managed to get some time this afty to get my carb off to rebuild it
http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...o/475358c5.jpg
http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...o/7e5de233.jpg
Hopefully get time tmoro to start it, should be fun lol never done it before so any tips would be great. I've been looking thro the guide on here so hopefully it will go ok:scratch:
Just removed the top of the carb and found this floating around in the float chamber
http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...o/e038f9d4.jpg
Cud this be the cause of my fuel leak I wonder
Did you gets big can of carb cleaner?? It's a must matey.. Just take your time take of one by one keep them in sequence clean and replace everything one at a time and you can go wrong.. What boost you running? Do you have an AFR kit fitted? If bigger boost you could alter your stages while your at it..
Yeah mate got a big can! Lol just running around 10 psi at the mo with no afr fitted at the mo but I do have a bigger downpipe with bung Welded in to go on, do future Plan is to up boost but not at the mo, was just gona try leave everything as it is for the time beingQuote:

Seems to idle fine and no more fuel leak, the diaphragm had a small hole in it. Gona take it for a spin later after some dinner see how it runs
Well done bud.. You see it's easy :-)
Haha it took me nearly 4 hrs! Lol but she runs great, bin out in her this afty and god I've missed driving her, Pleanty of boosting going on today lol. Not sure if she's idleing a little lower than before tho, wot do they usually idle at? Can't rememberQuote:

Do you know how to adjust the revs? You really should buy an AFR gauge bud its the first and best mod!!
I know bud it's on the list next mod lol. Not sure how to adjust idle ?Quote:

Very nice! :)
I've got a red 5 as well, nice to know they're fairly rare. Yours looks a lot cleaner than mine though.
