225 F1 Edition

  1. Hello all, thought its about time i made a progress thread on one of these forums!

    After owning a saxo for a couple of years and my best mates cars getting quicker i decided it was time for something new!

    After initally wanting an Astra VXR my mates pushed me in the direction of the Meganes!

    I managed to pick up a 225 F1 Edition for a very good price.

    After getting used to the car, the mods started!

    First was LED numberplate lights & HID's.

    Followed by a good clean!

    I was then on the hunt for an exhaust system. A custom made 3" Cat back exhaust (no back box or silencers) turned up on Ebay so i snapped it up!

    And the following weekend i got it fitted

    Since owning the car, the bumpers had always let it down. I decided to get both front and rear bumpers re-sprayed.

    On removal of the front bumper i found a dirty forge intercooler! Was chuffed as it saves me spending £400 on one!

    Fitted the bumpers back & got my mate round to detail the car!

  2. Decided to remove the restrictive standard airbox and replace it with an ITG filter

    [​IMG]

    The car came with a yellow intake hose so i decided just to bodge to filter to fit for now!

    Went to Santa Pod for Ulimate Street Car a couple of weeks ago with a few mates (440bhp RS, 300bhp R32, 220bhp Corsa, 440bhp RS4)

    [​IMG]

    I didnt run my car, as it needs a good map!

    On returning from USC i bought 630cc injectors & new boost hoses

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    And got the hose's fitted, added a 90deg bend to lower the ITG filter.

  3. Next on the list was a decat.

    This popped up on Ebay, the size wasnt listed but i decided to buy it anyway. On delivery i checked the size and it turned out to be 3" :smile:

    I then paid a visit to Mark Black to get it fitted. Thanks again Mark!!

    Nice work. Sounds ace. Can't to get some form of exhaust on mine. The standard is terrible.
