LZY13B build thread

[noone]

Been looking at buying the forge fmic
Mine is a late 05 build 06 model is there any difference or will it be alright?

Had one, prefer the Seat core. The core is taller, but its a 2-pass, so its somewhat similar to a shorter but longer straight-thru design. Forge one wasn't fantastic in summer. I lost a little power compared to the stock cooler. The Seat core is light, pickup with 1 finger light.

Recived my cooler kit from Gavin today very happy with the kit



Just gotta get the cooler now and ill start pulling this car apart haha

Nice one mate! Are you going SEAT or THS?

[LZY13B]

I'm getting the seat one not going for big power just need it 2 work so it will be fine
I'll be polishing the cooler so don't know when ill fit it maybe in a few weeks

[LZY13B]

I got bored the other week and my mate had a few spare subs and needed something to do so I put it in lol
Picked up a clarion amp for a good price but I gotta say running the power cable going through the guard was a pain never wanna do that again haha



Sounds good for what it is and being able to install systems myself didn't cost me much
Still haven't gotten around to buying a cooler tho due to finishing this and it coming home lol



It's finished and running but needs rego hence the hold up on the polo but I'm looking at repairing and painting the wheels first but not sure if I wanna repainted them silver or something different like black or a gun metal grey
I'm trying to think of something that will look nice on the blue has anyone painted them different colours and have a suggestion on colour?

I hope you have some good life insurance that rex looks very serious, and nicely done!

For your Polo I recon a metallic gun metal grey would look good against the blue.

Went out for new spark plugs for the rx ended up buying a turbo smart bov for the polo lol

[LZY13B]

It sounds nice and loud but as soon as I close the bonnet not so much so that kinda sucks but being a dual port kompact I can change it to plumb back only. Also I've noticed it's open till you hit the throttle and then it seals and its also fixed the hesitation issue I had around 3k so I'm guessing the standard bov wasn't sealing properly

Ok rx7 is pissing me off so I just order a intercooler and I intake for the polo so they should turn up in a week or so

I already have the pipe kit thanks to gav but we will see how long it takes me to get off my arse and install it lol ill be polishing it up so it stands out so that will take a day or two but should look good when I'm done

[LZY13B]

Just ordered a new K&N air filter as well so the fun part of pulling my car apart will start in a few weeks haha

[LZY13B]

My intercooler and intake turned up the other day just opened the box tonight and noticed something odd lol
I ordered the seat sports cooler and the THS cooler turned up?



Not complaining haha

[LZY13B]

All polished up and ready

[LZY13B]

Just installed my K&N air filter and seat intake but I was shocked when I pulled it out and noticed at the start of the intake there was a deflector pushing the air down away from the intake wtf? Chop chop it went haha and running a lot better and can hear the turbo spooling a lot nicer up to 4k

Next up installing the front mount waiting for the long weekend so I can take my time

[LZY13B]
