Justin Bieber Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I am hoping to: Finish fitting most of the parts I've collected (veilside ti, bucket seats, polished upper water pipe and a couple gauges, apr carbon intercooler plate, 550 injectors, MVP front lip) Push the twins harder with a boost raise, a dual intake kit, a ported y pipe Maybe some 3" decats, and probably a fuel controller/ecu Cry when the W58 explodes Find a way to repair/replace my Volk GT-C If I can, get some coilovers too! That should do it for this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Bieber Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Nice one Biebs! Liking the ideas! I heard a rumour about a way to run without a restrictor ring on the stock twins too and be still able to control the boost, so when i have some time i'll look into that, and if it works i'll be able to make the most of the freer flowing turbos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 My E39 comes with a Webasto diesel heater from the factory, that with a little ingenuity can be made into a remote control cabin warmer without starting the engine. So you get into the car, the coolant is up to temperature and the cabin is nice and warm. The remote kit from Webasto is £300, I plan on doing it for under £20 using Ebay and Maplins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Blitz my friend, Blitz. Chris, has your dad got a lock switch for the torque converter on his? Not yet, that's something we need to get done. Otherwise wont be much use on the dyno and also it will help on the motorway to keep things cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdavies Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Maybe sell the Supra and buy a Defender 110 pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Just a few little bits I think for this winter: Fit MintSpeed titanium strut brace (like a TRD but all titanium) Buy and fit Whifbitz carbon scuttle panel Buy and fit an AEM AFR gauge in place of my surplus Blitz boost gauge (60mm, fan location) Maybe get both my Recaro SPG driver seat and Recaro SRD Confetti passenger seat retrimmed Buy some wheels to sit it on so that I can spend too much time cleaning and polishing the CCWs Stubby aerial conversion (most likely, or just disable the motor on the stock one) I think that is probably it for this time. I'd look into cams, Syvecs, billet upgrade for the T88/a new twin scroll billet turbo etc. etc. but I need to start saving for a house.
