bdohohh

That's shit man hope you get it sorted soon!

What exhaust you thinking mate, full new system I take it?

Bahahaha, bet he hasn't apologised for much in his life - I'd say that's worth more than taking him to court by itself.

 

I hear you, and if you were planning on repainting the whole thing in bits anyway, why not start there eh?

To be honest I don't really want to see the dick again. Would rather he apologised to my boyfriend for being a psycho maniac nut job wanker...hahaha.

Yeah ideally a full respray but no money and a new tailgate is needed because of the rust coming through.

Pouring so much money into this, student loan won't know what's hit it hahaha.

I'd go with the JR14's buddy, but both are sweeeet!

Looks mint!! What momo is that?? its pure beaut matey. You might have already said what it is but I'm slow haha.

She's a beauty, tinted windows and spoiler should look awesome as well.

Sucks about the knobhead wrecking your bumper, glad he didn't do any real damage to you or the car. Was there anything back from the popo about him? Kinda hoping he suffered.

cheers pal!

Actually got a call this morning about him, apparently they're going to make him apologise to me and he has to sign a thing saying he was at fault. he also gets a stern talking to Apparently they'll phone me and let me know what happens, they were trying to push me to take him to court but I really don't have the time.

thinking of just repainting my current bumper and sticking the glanza front end I have on while its being done, can't stand having chips and stuff in paintwork!

need more power, yeah they are reasonable for a 1.3 N/A but im bored of the power now desperately need boost just no funds lol, my N/A so far is faster then my friends 1.6tdi 56 plate focus , thats about all ive tried playing with so far lol

I know that feel man. uni is pure sucking all my funds clean off me. need booooost.

thanks mate yeahh it was on when i had the bumper from a mate lol, i couldnt prove the point wih an na

I know the feeling, an ek tried me last night down the motorway and I didn't even try haha. not until I've converted. still, i like the principal

Damn this just reminds me how much I miss my SR..

Car looks great!

at the minute I can't imagine ever letting her go!

cheers buddy!

So things are happening! Been on ebay a bit much the past few days, considering my bank account is negative until I get paid, buying little things. Got a luke tow strap, in purple of course, and a few decals.

also some rather more important developments happening this week! My wheels are being painted on wednesday (eeeeeep!) So excited for this, as I'm currently running around with two of the toms from my yaris on the back (kindly lent back to me by my boyfriends brother), and a set of unpainted, sanded down toms evolutions on the front :L although the purple on white looks amazing so I can't wait for the speed lines to go back on all sparkly and purple!

other developments include my parents telling me to get a quote for a duck spoiler as this is my birthday present - couldn't quite believe they suggested this as they have no clue about cars and have never bought me anything for mine before, not even asked if I wanted anything haha. so very happy about that, will hopefully be buying it asap.

also planning on saving up to get myself a set of HRF spats. May have to wait due to money but asap
And then I want a new front bumper. Could paint my current one again but would mean having my car off the road for a few days/driving around with no bumper haha. As Phil said, she deserves a shiny new front end!

My current ultimate goal (which will change again as soon as I reach it) is repainting/getting a new tte spoiler and tailgate, buying, painting and putting on HRF spats and front bumper, painting and fitting the glanza side skirts and back bumper and tte front lip I have already.

Would also love to get the doors repainted, but will be keeping the bump strip even if I have to buy new doors and refit it!
And would love to get the quarter panels repainted too.
Essentially I want a full respray but can't afford that so just going to work on each part as I can. Gonna get a touch up kit for the worst of the paint chips.

As picky as I'm being I love this little car, how it looks even with chips and odd wheels. I just want the best for her, if I had the money it would be all new body parts and full respray!

Oh and also planning on getting my rear three windows tinted, probably medium/dark smoke depending on how they look.

So much to do, I keep forgetting all the things I need haha.

car looks well buddy, love the vtec sticker.

at the japdreamz meet tonight in newtownabbey, abbey centre. looked absolutely mint from where I was sitting, didn't get a good look but jesus she looked great!

hey all just looking an n/a front bumper for my sr to replace my current one which got dinged the other day.

not massively urgent (due to lack of money haha) but would like to get all my body parts which i have waiting painted and on all together rather than having half the car sitting nice and the front end looking below par.
thanks!

welcome along! looks like a nice base, interested to see where you'll take it!

may go without saying/you've already done it maybe but I would suggest a full service, really helped me get mine feeling a bit up on power. new spark plugs, oil change, oil and fuel filter and ran a fault code check. all easy to do and all helped a lot with making me feel like she was running better.

On the clutch, I personally wouldn't tackle it alone but i have shite mechanical skills and have only been learning for a couple of years (very very slowly). it's not hard to do generally so I guess it depends on your skill level but if it were me I'd get someone who's done it before to help, just incasey.
having said that, doing it yourself is probably the cheapest way and also the best way to learn.

keep updates coming man!

If anyone has an n/a front bumper for sale, please let me know! looking one to replace my current dinged up one.
Trying to get everything sorted for being painted and put on. Wheels hopefully painted this week or next, can't wait.
Then got the glanza skirts and rear bumper sitting waiting, tte lip as well which I'm gonna attach to the bumper and paint all together.

Also gonna save up to buy some HRF spats to complete the look of the back, oh and I'm getting a duck spoiler for my birthday in a few weeks hopefully!
Also asking for a momo/omp steering wheel for christmas (Parents think I've gone bloody mad haha)

and hopefully have the seat rails from my yaris modified to fit my recaros back in.

I'm hoping to have this sitting pretty by christmas to be honest, but knowing my luck something will go wrong and i'll have nout done until january 2020.

yeah can't let it get ya down! we'd nout else to do today anyway.

got the suspension all evened up and rubbed down two wheels so they can be painted. tomorrow will rub down the others and maybe mess with the camber then.

also fitted a glanza strut brace and it makes it hold together so well, together with the coil overs the handling is unreal now.

Thanks very much Phil! Yeah it's scary how close he came to hitting Joel, couldn't believe someone would do that just to save his own ass.

Looked at the car again this morning with a clear head and it's not so bad. As you said it couldn't have happened better with me having Joel, he thinks he has an n/a front bumper that we can put my lip on and spray all as one so it's all new and shiny.

Hoping the police do get back to me would love to know what happens.

On a positive note, serviced the car today. Oil change, new fuel filter, ran a diagnostic, fault 33 came up, issues with the idle control valve probably because we had it unplugged to make my car go pop for a bit of fun yesterday haha.

Only took it out for a second but anyway, reset the diagnostics and the fault was gone so all good.

Adjusting the suspension today, one side is sitting a bit higher so dropping it down to sit the same as the other side. Also might play around a little with camber, not sure yet 😜

Small update, peelers been up and away again already. Really impressed with them. Offered me the choice, if I wanted him given a disciplinary warning which is where it'll all go on record, or take it to court.
not bothering with court cause the damage is so minimal and because I don't have the time or energy to deal with going through all that. Hopefully the guy will learn his lesson. Police are saying they'll get in contact with me again when they've talked to him.

A little bit of me hopes he tries to fight the police and gets done for that haha.

so parked in town today and some dick reversed into my car while parking. Luckily we were sitting right across the road so saw it all, pushed the whole car back like a foot he hit it that hard.
Luckily damage is very minimal, tiny scrape/gouge out in the front bumper and some paint chips, nothing I can't get replaced and fix really easy but we asked for details just incase.
Clearly he wasn't insured, he went nuts on us claiming there was no damage, didn't seem to understand that that wasn't the point. wrote his name so we couldn't read his surname, we asked for his number and he got back in his car and tried to drive off, shouted after him so he flicked it in reverse and tried to mow us down, my boyfriend only just missed being smacked cause I pushed him out of the way, and he was inches away from running over my feet.
Luckily we got a photo of his number plate and his make and model etc and we know his first name at least.

waiting on police to get up to my boyfriends now, I wanna find the bastard and get him done for a hit and run. hope he suffers.

I love the original sr stickers looks great on the white!

They've grown on me! I love them now. Gonna get a full new set from morgey as the ones I have are a little scratched up and the rear has been removed.

Lovely! Wish mine looked this clean

Cheers mate!

Another little pic of her from last week.

Rear looks fantastic now! 👍

One last update, found this - fav pic I've got of any car i've ever driven to be fair. So so chuffed with how she looks in this. So proud of ma girl

lol its no bother, honestly.

looking forward to seeing this new paint!

Phil.

Me too! Hopefully get the wheels rubbed down this weekend, so will be running around on mismatched alloys as I'm gonna paint my two rears, my spare and one of joels spares :L

Can't wait to see how they'll look!

Also slight slight chance I'll get my lip, skirts and rear bumper painted soon!

Looks amazing on that pic. Just along the lines how i want mine!

Very nice

cheers! I love how it looks I have to admit, I can see me playing with kits and all and then just bringing it back to standard haha.

lol no worries B!

looking good in that pic and nice Blitz parts!

Phil.

Sorry again pal, like I said I wouldn't have opened my big mouth if I'd known Joel had one sitting for me, blame him for not telling me!

Thanks chum
