    Haven't updated in ages! The last 14 months of ownership I haven't had funds to do what I want to the car. Instead just been maintaining her with everything she needs. So far in 14 months it's had: 2 services including haldex filter and oil New rear discs and pads 4 new Avon zv5's all round 2 new front wishbones C.v boot kit. I've had the bonnet and front bumper resprayed so no stone chips on the front and now and had the rear bumper done aswell as it had quite a bad scuff. Just finished my apprenticeship now and have more money now, so I'm starting to buy things. Picked up a bmc this week to

    Does anyone know if the these are identical on the different variations of the 2.8 4mo engine like the BDE, AUE? My guess would have been yes as I thought the differences were in the head?

    I'd second the controller being the problem. There's a company called psi tuning that I've read about on other forums and apparently are very good to go to for haldex related problems.

    Just to add i got a BDE engine which after looking on some other forums is claimed to have vvt compared to the earlier engines that were put in the 4mo that apparently wern't. Not sure if this makes much difference in my choice of cams?

    Got some funds burning a hole in my pocket so thought i'd treat my 4mo to a set of cams and remap to compliment the bmc and custom exhaust i've had made. Am I correct in thinking that the aftermarket r32 cams are the same for the 2.8 24v 4mo? Anyone know of any suppliers for the cams or had any experience with them in the 4mo? Only place i've considered so far is SP but was wondering about alternatives. Also dont fancy the hefty price tag of the schrick ones. Thanks

    you do need to disconnect the ac pipes in the engine bay that go into the bulkhead to free up the heater box. Think it was like 3 allen key bolts. Did this on my a/c vr a few months back. Not too difficult if you use the guide like i did.

    Missed this thread completly! You guys doing this on the regular then? Don't play my ps3 so cant even remember my user but will get it up tonight. We should get a league/championship going if you haven't done so already

    Carbon fibre wrap? you can get textured ones now. I know someone that could supply and install if need be, or you could buy it and have a go yourself

    coilpack wearing out? Mine had similar problems and it turned out, one of the terminals had corroded on the coilpack where one of the leads go on.

    most of the unmarked police vehicles in my area are blue vectra's lol so we were giggling like school girls when he stopped to let us through :-D Made my day

    I had an experience almost exactly the same. Same story. The guy was in a 4x4 merc. We didn't take the bait but we saw him again in the same car park trying to sell to someone else on a different day so as he left we followed him for a few miles to make him paranoid and to get his number plate. It got to the point where he pulled over in a farm entracne on an A road to let us pass because he knew he was being followed. Funny thing was we were in a blue 56 plate vectra.

    Have you thought about getting a clear wrap on the front end if it's just the protection your after? I know someone that got this done on his mk2 and it does the job very well. I wouldn't get a bonnet bra for any of my cars but if it looks good to you then why not? I would say looks more odd than chav but just my opinion

    looks like you got yourself a nice highline there. congrats

    It could be how the window sits in the clamps. I've changed a couple on my mk3, and have found that the best way is to get someone to hold the window in place as if it was closed by hand. then using the button bring the mechanism up to the window slowly until the clamps join up with the window. You may need to jigg them around a bit to make them both sit in then once you've brought them up to a point where the window is now completly seated in the clamps you can tighten them off. This should eliminate any allignment issues. I found that if you sat the window in when the mechanism was wound dow

    Very nice pipes you got there sounds bit more burbly than other 24v's with exhausts which me likes :-d Just had a look on the website and like what I see. Did you go to your local franchise to get it done?

    Have you used your local powerflow dealer? Just want to find a happy customer that could recommend a decent fabricator. I am liking the idea of going custom considering the milltek for a 4mo is over £500. If i could get a nice custom setup around the 350/400 mark i'd be happy with that. Not taking anything away from the milltek but it's a steep price tag that could be spent else where on the car. I hate loud exhausts on your 1.2 corsa's etc but I had a scorpion cat back on the vr which i bought with about 200 miles use as it was too loud for the owner. I thought it sounded amazing strapped to

    tough one really. Might have a look into getting one made up. Does anyone know of any decent exhaust fabricators. Thanks for the quick replies
  22. chazvr
    are they like a franchise or independent specialist?
  23. chazvr
    Hi guys, Done a few searches but seems there is very limited choice for the 4mo. Only one i've seen really is the milltek. Making me think I should get one custom made. Do you know of any other makes/links for this car?

    After much thought the vr is no more. After getting it resprayed last year I came to the decision that doing 12thousand miles a year in a 15 year old car was far from practical. I was so paranoid about rust I was jet washing it 2/3 times a week during the last snowy period. Here's a pic anyway So I recently came to the decision I needed something newer and it was between a 02/03 plate wrx or a 4mo. The scooby's were nice but didn't see them as much of a challenge and too shouty to look at so I went and picked this up today with 60k on the clock :-d Heard this mod adds atleast 10hp Took t
