Post by: loadswine on April 6, 2007, 21:27
Arnaud, have you bought the entire Trial kit, or just the rear bumper?
Looks like it is finished nicely.

you talk about what I have on the engine, not the carbon hood ?
chrome part is from Injen ( w www.injen.com; (http://www.injen.com;) w  like the intakes)
carbon part is from  w www.ebaymotors.com (http://www.ebaymotors.com) w
both are for 2ZZ-GE engine

The whole kit, and finish is very good !!

Post by: loadswine on April 6, 2007, 21:40
Please be careful of the ground clearance of the front bumper Arnaud, it is very low indeed and if you have speed humps near where you live, it can easily get damaged unless you modify it.

Post by: dieamond on April 6, 2007, 21:52
the body shop should cut it as it was done on spyderchat  :-) :-) :-)

Post by: loadswine on April 6, 2007, 21:55
Yep, that works, I did the same on mine. Paul Price's advice was great.  s:) :) s:)

Post by: Chris on April 6, 2007, 22:02
Blimey, thats some serious modding!!  IMO, it looks a lot better without the big wing, and that trial kit looks scrummy!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

The international comunication is awesome

A man does something in the USA
then a man in UK and another in France do the same.

Incredible

Just thinking that 10 years ago it was nearly impossible is awesome  :-) :-) :-)

Yeah, I'm thinking of adding a small spoiler, like toyota or MS Design to complete the look

That would look like this :

on dieamond's car they are granted, but not on that last pic surely, unless the angle of the pic is disguising...

Last pic is a different car

Post by: Chris on April 7, 2007, 20:32
Yep, thats what I had realised, but wasn't sure that Stu had...  it's a case of dieamond picking a pic of where his car is heading rather than saying this is mine, as in the photos at the top of the post...    s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  
What ever, it's still a stunning look!   s:D :D s:D

Still pushing further !

Today I received some oil filters by Power enterprises :
(http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Small/PE_OilFilters.JPG) (http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Big/PE_OilFilters.JPG)
along with the traditional better filtration, more pressure, they include a magnet to retain the metal particles that are in the engine  :-) :-) :-)

Air filter from PE too :
(http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Small/P1000693.jpg) (http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Big/P1000693.jpg) (http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Small/P1000702.jpg) (http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Big/P1000702.jpg)
The front is open, which is very interesting when placed behind the battery.
That's why I bought it.
However, I had another surprise !!
(http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Small/P1000704.jpg) (http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Big/P1000704.jpg)
Same fixation method as the Apexi filter

Being PPE reseller for France, I immediatly came up with an idea...

Guess what ?

(http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Small/P1000710.jpg) (http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Big/P1000710.jpg) (http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Small/P1000712.jpg) (http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Big/P1000712.jpg) (http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Small/P1000716.jpg) (http://dieamond.free.fr/images/Galleries/PE//Big/P1000716.jpg)

I find it kind of bright !!

The Power hose is kind of small for my 3" intake, so I'll use this one, creating the super-ultimate-filam-hybrid-intake :

I really want a enginre hood with the vents same as the photograph to replace the stock engine lid.

Post by: dieamond on May 28, 2007, 08:22
It's a Varis rear carbon hood

I think Silverstone can find this for you !
I could too, but shipping this from France to UK would be a nonsense  s;-) ;-) s;-)

Check Japanparts for pricing.

Post by: alancdavis on May 28, 2007, 10:46
Thanks Guys,,,,I will continue my quest,,,,By the way,,,what would be an average cost ?
Title:
Post by: dieamond on May 28, 2007, 10:54
between 1000 and 1300 Euros

again, those things aren't packed at all or nearly when shipped from Varis, so don't be greedy on the shipping costs and insurance !
