Yeah I know. Im not having work done at a miti garage, as I don't fully trust them to do any work other than services. (because I know they have a noddy guide for that) and I have not found any Jap specialists by me. I think there is one, but I have not had a good record with local garages in that area. I have been to indigo, and my mates have and had no problems.

Id does sound daft really. Especially after I took the mick out of T9 for going all the way to deamon tweeks for an air filter!

The good thing is with my love, is she doesn't understand car talk, so she will never know what has just gone on. And I'll tell her the cost............ When she is drunk

Tell her how much it all costs when she's drunk

so she won't recall a thing and your conscience is clear! You are a devious thinking man BBJ

Ah ha! I was just about to bring your attention to this BBJ

I had to endure merciless micky taking on my account just because I travelled a few miles or so up the road, just to get a little job done!

**bigbadjoe** · 28-10-2011, 07:09 PM

Yeah, but. No but!

What do you think of the suggestions any how? Its it 2K well spent?? Or have I missed something out?

The list looks fine BBJ and it looks like your 2K is going quite far actually! I hope your going to post up some photos of the new look monster when the work is all done?

**bigbadjoe** · 28-10-2011, 07:31 PM

Will do. I have one or two my phone. Just no connector. I really need to get a gallery sorted.

Its a bit rubbish really. I have been on here close to two years and still not got a gallery done. It will be my first job when I get back.

**bigbadjoe** · 31-10-2011, 09:10 AM

There you go Mr T9. I was visiting family before going away and my grandad was good enough to take a picture of my baby. As it happens he has just sent me a picture. So I have put it on. Its under gallery. She is a bit dirty, but what do you expect after a 500 mile drive!! lol

**MasterAuron** · 31-10-2011, 03:23 PM

£2k well spent I would say! You will see what, 400hp+?

**bigbadjoe** · 31-10-2011, 03:35 PM

Yeah, as long as I can get a 10.5t housing. I already have the elbow off the turbo upgraded so air flow comming out is good. The guy recons 410 is around the max without having to start changing pistons, valves ect. But that all depends on the fuel you use as well. The guy down in south Wales has a mate in Aberdeen with a rolling road for AWD cars. So will get in touch with him.

**MasterAuron** · 31-10-2011, 03:42 PM

I hear it's the rods first to give up much farther past 410hp.

**bigbadjoe** · 31-10-2011, 03:52 PM

Yeah. Thats why you get the FQ-400 I think. Its about all you would want to get out of the standard engine. I have been going on about getting new cams in her for about a year now. I just haven't had the time to do it. Can't wate to go south Wales when Im back in the country.

May of underpriced the hose kits I want.

On closer inspection, the hose kit priced at £65 was two hoses, not the full wack (thought it was a bit cheep) id actually be looking at
£65 - Coolent (indigo GT)
£115 - Induction (DT)
£220 - Turbo kit (DT)

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Perfor..._Hose_Kits/523

Anyone know a good place to get fully fitted out with full hose kits, or is this the sort of price I'm looking at. £400 for hoses

I was expecting around £250.

***T9 man*** · 06-11-2011, 11:27 AM

Try these people for the hoses BBJ they have a good rep and your money does go further with them. http://www.auto-performance.co.uk/

There is another site that I have in my favourites somewhere, it is a company based in Wales who can make up universal Induction kits etc and fit silicon & alloy pipes and hoses for you. If memory serves me correctly it was all super bling stuff. Will keep looking and see if I can find it for you.

Yeah mate, that's Samco. I have emailed them this morning

Ill have a look at your auto preformance, see what I can get. Cheers

**MasterAuron** · 06-11-2011, 04:47 PM

Don't think Auto Performance do hoses? Bottom line is Silicone hoses are expensive, but so is Demon Tweeks usually and your best bet is to contact Samco directly, try SFS OR go to the Jap shows next year and look around because a lot of stuff is usually on offer or can be if you ask nicely enough
