as its been a few days, i have relised that it does collect water a bit and boggs down when you first start it but a bit of a throttle spits all the water out :)

Finally got the 60mm springs on today! only just finished :lol: ill get pics up tomorrow as its too dark atm

needs dropping on the front a bit more though

60mm springs probably wont lower it 60mm from experience.. did you just get springs or shocks too?

probably need to chop a few coils out to get the look you want!

i only had springs :) this is only temp until i get my rear coilovers and front 80mm shocks and springs anyways

i dont really wanna risk chopping tbh as the springs can move in the strut when jacked up already :(

well done so far this car is one of my favourite beadvans... I am on the look out for one :) keep the work up.

1.3 ecu? Wouldn't that mean that the injector is injecting a little too much fuel for the amount of air thats being sucked in?

its got a 1.3 throttle body and inlet so I had to put the ecu on to even it all out :)

No no you don't understand, the engine capacity is 1043, you have it set up so that it is being fueled for a 1272... The bigger inlet manifold will aid flow, but it won't let you cram 1272cc of air into the cylinders. Therefore it should still be fueled for a 1043.

What injector are you using?

I got told to do it that's all :lol: the injector is attached to the throttle body so the 1.3 one I guess? I ran it with the 1 litre ecu in and then with the 1.3 ecu after and there was no difference at all in how it drove infact it feels slightly better with the 1.3 ecu :)

What splitter did you use on the front bumper dude?
