Cool very nice car with a few nice bits on it too. Do you know anything about the cusco LSD, i ask as i have a aftermarket LSD on my car but dont know the make, i also have alot of other cusco bits on my car so maybe my LSD is made by Cusco too if they make these.

cheers for the comment , i dont know much about the cusco diff, just what ive read on the net.

hi mate welcome to imoc

ive had mine nearly nine months and touch wood ive never had anything go wrong with mine never missed a beat

i change my oil every 5km and make sure its always got oil water etc etc

you got any plans for it mate

Thanks for the LSD info, I think I must have the 1.5 or 2 set up fitted to mine then as it has no under steer and is very prone to over steer without much provoking.

Regarding reliability as long as yours has been looked after servicing wise etc, you will have no problems as they are very reliable cars especially given their age and high performance. In the last 15mths all I have had to change are normal wear and tear items (tires, brakes clutch etc). You should change the oil every 3 to 6k depending on oil types used.

Is yours running standard boost still? If so with your modifications if you added a up rated intercooler you could run it at 1.2bar and you will really feel the difference performance wise.

no probs m8.
yep im still running standard boost, spools up really well though i think the downpipe makes a fair difference
havnt really thought about modifying it, to be honest its probs quick enough for me. although still limited to 200km/h and still reads in km/h

it appears to have been well looked after, and i aim to continue with the same.

cheers

[LiamTye]

mines still restricted and still reads in km

pain in the ar$e when you wanna play with someone on the motorway

couldnt even do my mates fiesta on top end he just went past like i was nothing lol feels like hitting a wall when you hit fuel cut

you will get the modifying mug soon mate dont you worry
