After having my Panacotta for a few years now, and being after a turbo, I came across a decent model for a great price, and after going to see it, put a deposit down and secured the car..
Went to collect it today, so here it is..
its a 2.0 turbo 170bhp design, so has auto lights, wipers half leather etc.



Mods have already started as I have changed over the standard 17" alloys to my 19" vxrs, and started to swap over the blue smd converted parts inside.

Couple of changes done yesterday..

First off swapped my opel grill over, bottom grill and Bi xenon lights to be done this weekend.


Team Heko's fitted


VXR Steering wheel fitted, feels so much better


Matching bootstrip and debadged

You need a VXR front end on that. It will look great that colour

 

[Glen290]

Thats my plan, hoping to have it done for TFS

 

[AFKAM]

Good man

 

[Lashed]

Fitted direct route and pipercross airfilter to the car, promptly took if back off the day after as I hated the noise it made.



I have now sourced a cdti airbox and will be refitting it this weekend.

Looking great, love the colour as said it will look great with the vxr bumper

You getting it mapped as well as you won't be able to run the 80mm till it's mapped

Didn't know that, what issues will it cause by putting the 80mm maf on ?

 

[BigDov]

Afr will be out as the voltages for airflow will be different and the ecu won't be able to correct it.
