The Turbo 8V Project - JethroJay - 06-12-2013
So this is how Nik got her car, it had done 95k miles, just had headgasket done on it, had over £400 spent on it, got a 1000W FLI Sub in the boot and her Sony stereo, it's rather good for a 1.4, not the cheapest when it comes to fuel use that's for sure, any how, here's the pics of it!
have got a few things to change on it, (Blue LED door lights, Blue speedo dials, Cone Air Filter, Power Flow back box with a race tube [just for sound]) I'll keep you 306 nuts posted!
I need to spray the rocker cover as it looks crap on it, Need to give it a wash and wax as it ain't been done for a while, I love driving this, throwing it in corners, my Astra wasn't as good as this, everything about this car beats my Astra, just the size of it is what kills me!
Thank you for the Decals Grant!

RE: It's a 1.4 8V guys!!!! - Eeyore - 06-12-2013
Pkay right. What you need to do is....
Swap that fake wood centre console for a silver one. Or spray paint it. £10
Paint that 'rocker cover' so its nice and shiny. Replacement heat shields are cheap to. £6
You need to lower it 40mm £50 for the front springs and £100 to lower the rear beam
Look for some phase 3 crystal headlights £40
You have got colour coded bumpers some how so colour code the black rub strips on the door.
debadge the rear
dewiper the rear
colour code the mirror caps
aero blades
and yeh. then youre making the most of a blaze really!
May I ask where you are planning on putting that filter? If you remove the airbox then one of the breather pipes wont be attached to anything. What I suggest you do is what I did with my 1.4. Leave the air box in. Take off the reducer that is coming off the front of the box and put the filter on there. It fits nicely and then that bit of ribbed tube points straight at the filter.
This was my 1.4!

You can see in that last picture that i cut the front of the scoop away too to try and get more air in. Because thats how subarus do it right?
RE: It's a 1.4 8V guys!!!! - JethroJay - 07-12-2013
Looks mint mate, thanks for the heads up, I was gonna cut the scoop away anyway and I dunno how they came like that regarding the bumpers, think they was sprayed as you can see the plastic patteren at the back of it, also I was gonna do what you done with your filter just take out the panel filter and stick it in on the box!
This air filter I got has got a middle part so I can put the air feed in that :-)
RE: It's a 1.4 8V guys!!!! - JethroJay - 11-12-2013
So Air Filter is now fitted, backlights are changed on the dials, door light is now changed, alternator has been changed, car's hit a milestone of 100,000 miles (Due for the scrap yard now) that's probs about all I can update you with at the moment!

RE: It's a 1.4 8V guys!!!! - JethroJay - 02-02-2014
Update guys, sorry for the long wait but it's just random stuff been done to the car!
Apart from changing the battery, alternator, starter motor, cambelt, exhaust and a few other things, it's getting there!
Here's the pics of a few parts you can see!
Washed the car as well and stuck Paul Walker's Sig on the bonnet!

RE: It's a 1.4 8V guys!!!! - Martin306 - 02-02-2014
You did remove the original filter element from that air box before fitting that cone?
Otherwise, your engine will be getting super clean air, but flow won't be great

+1 for the laugh, I'm the one who got the air filter for the car, people said it wouldn't make a difference and it hasn't, it was only £10 so.... changed the sound of the car though, stock exhaust and a cone air filter, sounds DIRTY at about 3k - 5k RPM, lol

I know mate, I was thinking of taking back box off and just clamping that in place of it with an exhaust tip on it, then put a race tube on the car and leave it as that! You're right as well it is a center piece (off a scooby) I got it for free soo.....

RE: It's a 1.4 8V guys!!!! - JethroJay - 10-02-2014
Brand new battery was put on on the 30 of December and it's failed to start again, it's had a new alternator (times 3) and finally a working one, so now what the hell is wrong with it? Battery is been replaced again so if it STILL doesn't start, start looking at a spiked ECU?
Thinking of Custom plates for the car! Which one's do you guys think?

if you're into that kinda thing, lol
i guess if that's the look you're going for they'll be fine as show plates, i highly doubt they'd be legal for road use, as you're not allowed a background pattern
any more details on the starting issue you could give would help, does it turn over but not fire? or does it go flat? if it just goes flat, with the ignition off get a multimeter on the battery and check if theres any significant current draw, if there is it may be a bare wire somewhere creating a short, or one of the things on the car (alarm / stereo / lights ) may be on permanently, try unplugging things until the draw goes away..

It just goes flat mate, found out it was a dodgy ass piece of junk boot light so gonna replace the switch on it and see if that works, if not just gonna see if there's any bare wires making a short somewhere, as for the plates, I'm getting 2 sets (one set with backing, one set without) for show and road use and it's not my car, it's my girls car so....
