Looks good.

Am I the only one who when he sees a "Backyard Special" sticker thinks of An*l?


It's like that thing where people in meetings keep saying "....Low Hanging Fruit...." and I can't help thinking of testicles. It's not pleasant. Sorry. I will go now. :oops:

Ah glad to see its still on the forum, rob has sure spent a few quid getting it mint. Those pipes are for the throttle body heater, helps on very cold morning buts its prob been mapped to deal with it.

A simple tidy up from all those earth straps and a set of alloys will make a huge difference :-)

Those pipes are for the FITV (Fast Idle Thermo Valve). More than likely the previous owner hase rerouted the coolant lines so the throttle body isn't in contact with hot coolant. I take it your idle when cold is a little rough?

This /\ Oh and it may not be rough if it's been tuned well.

Great pic up bud, very nice spec right of the cuff. 8-)

Thanks guys but my idle is rough in the morning.Everytime it's cold and you start the Lude you have to rev her slightly for maybe 10 seconds to stop her stalling :?
