Hey Ed, what paint did you use on your manifold? I like the finish.
I think you will find that is only a heat shield the manifold would be covered by the shield.
As for type of paint ceramic based paints are good for such items but I'll allow Ed to confirm what he used on his and how well it is doing after all this time.

Oops, yep, that's what I meant to say.
I used Halfords high temp paint. I think it was the black one but it came out a nice gunmetal colour.

Hey Ed, hope all is well, any new update on the DCi-R..?
Just fishing through Ebay and saw these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-4...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 thought you may have swiped them so thought I would ask. Oh and keep up the good work, seen alot of nice pics you've taken of loads of gtroc owners rides.

Long time bud... hope all is well.
My project will hopefully be getting a easy fast forward due to Liam selling up so will be swapping over some bits from his Only got as far as installing a Hybrid 2 Turbo on mine (done 10k on it already lol).
Look forward to hearing some updates/progress on the legendary DCi-R.

No updates to speak of I'm afraid. Not sure if there will be any more in future either. I need to decide on what, if anything, I will do with this project now.
NOOO!!!! 
Don't say that.
After so many years of family life, & owning & accumulating one N16 after the next (total being 12, & currently owning 5). When I've finally tried to pave way to try & make time for finally tuning my car... your thinking of calling it a night.
Sad times indeed, have to give it to you for your persistence & single handedly keeping the N16 platdform alive... or even the 'Almera' name in general.
Have got to give you a big thanks aswell for writing up them numerous threads to help out fellow members like myself.
Not sure if your message above was pointing towards you thinking of selling up, but if it is... then being able to own your Almera would the greatest honour & would make me a really happy chappy. /gayoc/ xXx

Nothing to report. It's still not moved since July 2017. Still intent to keep it and run it eventually though. It's not dead, but on hold.
No sorry.
I didn't understand all of that translation, but no you will only need to change it if your current clutch is worn. Stock one holds up quite well.
I've got it to set to hold boost up to 1.6bar at the moment. I will use it to go to 2bar in the future. It's not the best, but it does the job well enough I guess.
Of all the experiences with clutches, which one is best placed is the original?
Black diamond knows if it works well ????
Is FCD2 a good option? or try to change the seat ibiza 130 hp map sensor and change the plug?
What do you think of the solution?
or try with FDC2 ??
