Iwan Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Well, about time I got round to this! Same as the introduction thread really, but hope to update a little more as I go along.Enjoy and feel free to express your opinion, good or bad .2 owners from new, both from the same family, a mother & son. Seriously well looked after, immaculate example. 59k miles.Only did 8 miles a day!, and by the looks of things it wasn't thrashed about. Good thing in this case as I wanted a standard one!Car is pretty much standard throughout exept for the exhaust & fog lamps.Before clean:During:& After:& The magic stuff:Gave the cam cover a nice touch-up today. Came out much better than I ever imagined!Nice and clean inside as well as outside. Cam cover gasket was like new!As far as now it's pretty much standard but after seeing Liam's EP91, a Glanza front end is edging more and more towards happening. A pair of Recaro Speed's are waiting in the garage as well, just need to finish fabricating the mounts .I'll be sure too keep you all posted.Regards, Iwan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Iwan Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Some quick pics before she goes in for hibernation....Recaro's are being test fitted as I type. Welds could do with a little improvement though . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iwan Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Well, some bad news about the fog lights. Seems the weather has taken it's toll on the metal casing which the earth was wired too and it gets worse, the mountings have eroded up to the point where the bolts feel like their welded in .On the plus side though, the local Halfords had an awsome sale and I bagged myself an Autogarage shift light for a tenner! Got it all wired in and looks suprisingly good, not too OTT.Pics up tomorrow hopefully! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

200sx-Starlet-Jay Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 looks spot on mate! never looked at this before havnt seen it!!any big plans for it?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iwan Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 looks spot on mate! never looked at this before havnt seen it!!any big plans for it?!Thanks all.To be honest i'm not too sure what to do. I'd fancy having a Glanza front end and making it into a track car but it would be a shame track such a clean car. Maybe some more sublte changes e.g. Coilovers, Better brakes and so on would be more fitting, without making it look too different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Keep this one as it is, its a minter, dont change a thing - one day this could be a musium car - thats how clean this is.Get another one, maybe just a bog standard sportif for a couple of hundred quid, then 4efte it and track it - that way it wont be such a shame to ruin this one, as you wont be!

Sparky Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Pretty sure there is only this and Tony's 4AGE SR that are black on the forum.I say leave it as it is on the outside Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iwan Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Thanks again everyone!@Galliano - I wouldn't quite go as far as a museum piece, there's some bloody clean examples on this club too . You do bring a good point with the Sportif idea though. @Sparky - A sleeper, I like your thinking .Some more pics after some serious pampering:As you may of noticed the so called "High Temprature" paint on the cam cover has started to peel .This is what I was talking about with the T1-S's: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
