Bonjour my fellow twingers!

Got me a lovely 97' g.t which I adore.

She has no serious mods at the mo, although it will be dropping 30-40mm this month & maybe have a bit of K&N in her........ :roll:

I love the Japanese mod's (Fast & furious 1 but no further :lol: !) so into stickers, crazy bits of kit, mad colours & all that jazz (I know a lot of tuners over here HATE it but each to their own) so that's the general plan for the car.

Oh, for any of you guys who like underground house & techno check out my website www.tommanford.co.uk

That's about it, look forward to modding with y'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

Welcome to the forum!

 

[lgonzalez]

Welcome along, I like mad colours and wings, and I'm a bit fussy when it comes to body kits they've gotta suit the car. Definitly intrigued as to where you go with this
ps. I also have a bit of a sticker fetish hahaha

 

[Chicken]

Welcome to the madhouse, the bigger the stickers the better.

 

[m4nn13]

Agreed. Body kits defo fussy about and yea the bigger the better with stickers!

Pahahaha that's funny as!!!

Oh my days!!

Ok, so current plans are:

Lower car 30mm/40mm on spax springs
Fit K&N induction Kit
Maybe throw on a dump valve just for fun!
Price up interior flocking
STICKERS STICKERS STICKERS! hahaha!

I've had a look through the boards & seems most people go for a different induction kit but as mines a GT I figured I may need a slightly different one to you 133 dudes.

Dump valve - heard forge is a good one to go for, any other links/advise?

Flocking - like I said, pricing at the mo - I work round next door to CLB valeting so they can get me a good price for it.

That's about it at the mo!

As for induction, Ash331 replaced his panel with a ktec panel filter and is certainly happy with it (he would be as he got me to fit it and like a mug I did ) and that's one of the better routes IMO owing to the layout and space available on top of the engine. Moving shadow has probably done the most messing I know of with induction kits and should know what does and doesn't fit

I don't like the K&N induction kit on the GT engine.

I've seen it on a Wind GT and the filter sits right above the engine. Okay, there is a cold air feed going to it but the filter should be lengthened and sit a little closer to the front and maybe add a heat shield.

 

[m4nn13]

Do you recommend another one>??
I don't just want the panel because I want the grunt when you put your foot down, but at the same time it's only a 1.2 at the end of the day do not looking to spend a bomb on it!

Yes it's still a 1.2 but I had someone from the forum (Joe I think, he was still very drunk) sitting next to me on the parade lap and he was confused when all of a sudden he said, "Wait, this is the 1.2 TCE?? It goes like stink" :lol:

Mission accomplished

 

[m4nn13]

Hahaha, i have a few mates who for months thought it was a 1.6 and when i told em it was a 1.2 they were shocked!!! Is there an alternative to the k&n you would reccomend?

 

[Dazza1]

This was my K&N on my old gt

Made a lovley sound like a dump valve when lettin off the gas

 

[m4nn13]

Looks good mate... ive got in my head that the filter would sit more central but maybe i just imagined it!!

 

[Dazza1]

I had the pipe bent that side to stop the heat soak and ran the cold air feed from the old air pipe

 

[m4nn13]

Ah i get you.

 

[m4nn13]

All booked in & ready for lowering! Should be done on thurs so i'l try & get some before / after pics up for you over the wknd.
