What have you done to your car today? - Chris0121 - 22-10-2020
Started fibreglassing the front splitter and thought might aswell remove the plate recess an smooth that over so I did hopefully get most of it some done this week

I fitted a PS2 Slim to the LS460 at the weekend. Now the Lex is the envy of all my kids friends.

Chaos Met up with Sprinter and swapped exhausts over so my "definately staying standard" winter hack is now sporting a swanky Greddy Ti-C ever so subtle (not) zorst.
Cheers David, nice one!
Glad you like it, have you noticed any increase in power since fitting it? Because when I put it on I was sure it unleashed a few more horses higher up the RPMs, which I just put down to placebo effect because of the noise. But now it's off, the car feels noticeably slower again.
This guy is a top bloke though, put both our cars up on ramps and swapped the exhaust on both cars in less than a couple of hours

Well that's mission accomplished then surely? Nothing else to do after that. haha

Wow has my trusty ol' Greddy Ti-C changed hands? I loved that zorst

Absolutely. But it was worryingly easy to get most of the dash out on the LS, so I fear some more dash related mods may be happening soon

Bought a very rare 1gge engine.
Surprisingly lots of parts that i can use for the GTE engine. but more importantly the better looking cam covers ive spent 3 years trying to get hold of!

Absolutely chuffed to bits with it, definately picks up way faster. Was about to hand a eurobox it's nuts on a plate at my local set of lights but I hit the limiter a lot quicker than before so I'm ashamed to say it got the jump on me (just this once mind!). I have no concrete proof of power increase but its quicker up the box for sure and sounds the nuckin futs when it's pulling hard. Thanks again mate !

Heres the 1ggte ones and a set of 1ggze ones (notice big ugly turret on GTE ones and little turret on gze)

and a set of 1gge ones (no turret, just nice and smooth)

Also the fly wheel is the same so ive a spare one then, the crank pulley should be useable, also it comes with a head overhaul kit which includes a lot of the same parts including the valve stem seals which i need for my spare head.
The cams are the better ones ive put in my own GTE so i can fit them to the spare engine.
just got to drive to Lincoln tomorrow and collect it.
