  1. Amazing effort! IMO the colour choice spoils what is other wise a fine restoration
  2. LEDs melted the circuit boards on my GT speedo, same happened to Phil I believe. I would avoid Liam, better safe than sorry! Looking good Dan, get that boot garnish replaced though LOL
  3. Nom! Where did you get hold of the lip? I've been looking for one for ages!
  4. RARB/tyres first
  5. Looks much better IMO
  6. I would take passenger rail if you did split
  7. Welcome mate!
  8. I've got a similar panel to that, it works nicely
  9. These are now sold I think.. Thanks Marc!
  10. They all come back ;)
  11. Sick!
  12. NAs are plenty fun and capable enough on track with a little work
  13. ^Not sure what you mean by that
  14. May be interested in wheels if someone else wants the tyres
  15. HKS is very quiet IMO. Get the centre box taken out
  16. Would be interesting to see if there's a similar upgrade we can do on GTs
  17. *Update* Well it's about time I gave this thread a little refresh! Few things have gone on since my last one.. 5,000 km service time, switched from 10w40 to this and the car has felt a lot smoother especially on cold starts. No particles on the magnetic sump plug either which was nice to see Service And a mileage pic for reference (still in km) Next bit of news is that I recently made a trip up to see Dean at RWD who made me up a new exhaust system! Here's some pics from the day, some awesome machines at the unit! And now for some pics of the exhaust. It's a 2.5" system, with V-banded silencer/straight through pipe to the Japspeed back box. I wanted to get the silencer too to play it safe with track days. Was pleasantly surprised at how docile it sounds with a straight through though! The noise is amazing on boost though, really really happy with it! Funds were tight so wasn't able to get a new box made up, but I hope to see Dean again sometime again next year to finish it off I also wrapped it in titanium wrap (word of advice, make sure you still use gloves lol). Pops like a mofo when it's warm even in this cold weather and I can't wait to see what it's like when it gets warmer out. Haven't been informed of any flames yet haha Incredible quality of work as you can see, I couldn't be happier with the service and Dean is a top guy! I haven't got a proper video of the exhaust yet, so this poorly shot mash-up of plays with mate's cars will have to do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AvIqznHaX0 And finally, I've been doing some rehaul of the exterior lighting to modernish the car a touch. And very happy I am with the result This is a shot of the old LED's on the left and a new CREE sidelight bulb on the right Both done Xenons on Reverse light before/after shot And now the interior units, these are crazy haha. I'll let the pics do the talking! And to top them off, I installed CREE indicators all round. Really like this touch, a lot of 13/63 plate premium cars don't even have LED indicators..here'sa video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKhxOD6XnFA Having done quite a few miles recently the poor thing was in need of a bath, so I got him gleaming.. Then did a long trip up North to view Mum's new car (I'll upload a thread for that when I get some proper pics) and got him covered in grit dust again LOL Car has *touch wood* been a fantastic, fun, reliable daily over the past few months. Made a good few long trips with ease and I'm looking forward to having more funds to get modding again! Next few things I'm planning: -Uniroyal Rainsport 3s -Polybushing everything bar engine/gearbox mounts (more likely to be undertaken in the summer) -Oil cooler setup (again probably towards summer) Last thing I'll leave you guys with is a cheeky appearance in the Mighty Car Mods UK meet video, chuffed the car made it in! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VpfSWxo7d0 Amjad
  18. Might pop down in the GT if I'm free
  19. Give me a wave if you see me, I'm down there a few times a week
  20. Can you make me a short shifter too G?
  21. Dench
  22. Hey guys, Bit short notice, but is anyone local to Rochdale able to view a car for me tomorrow? It's a VAG diesel not a Starlet, and I would come up myself but it's an 8hr round trip from Southampton so I would like to avoid it if at all possible! Obviously I'd cover your fuel costs etc Please let me know! Thanks Amjad
