JAG Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 really really nice looking glanza there man, i cant wait to see it when your finished with it just hope mine looks this good when i get it hopefully next week.... so yeah i also know how you felt with the waiting to get it!! lol it sucks!!!! Cheers man, n yeah its such a mish waiting around to get it although it makes the drive home all the better Just ordered Rear Anti Roll Bar, Anti Lift Kit, and a PANHARD rod Im still debating what to get suspension wise, im kinda drifting towards coilies maybe a set of D2's or BC ones but i duno really like the idea of them being ajustable but for some reason i find my drivers seat pretty uncomfortable so im debating wether to just go shocks and springs?+ Im not overly minted atm i lost my card and have been waiting for a new 1 to come through and i think im £100-200 adrift somewhere... Not sure wether thats me just totaling everything up wrong or my insurance company have taken to much out or sumin?So i need to go to the bank n have a looky+ I've gotta fork out for spending money for going on holiday in august as well as Le Mans next month n I've now got just over a grand as just been paid.So i might hold off lowering it until next pay day possibly...?Im also not to sure about paying the price for coilies as its prety steep and I'm still a student so dont have loads of money coming in :sI need some opinions people!?!

johnegan Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 the thing is if you do fork out the extra few quid for the coilovers ula) sell them far easier if you decide to break the carB ) better in every shape and form performance wisec) springs will be shocking if you decide to serious mod the card) coilovers will be easier to fit rather than getting springs fitted to shocks etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAG Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Cheers mann yeah thats kinda what i had floating round in my mind may aswell pay out the extra cash and just go all the way with it Think il probably wait til i get paid next and fork out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Wait till nexy pay day manYou'll be surprised how much money you'll burn at Le Mans :)If you do shocks/springs, could always ask Alex nicely to help you like I did.(assume you're not fitting the panhard rod till you've actually lowered it by the way?)

JAG Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 U got it Mr MJRod on with the slamming no point otherwise it doesnt need it now Think I'm gna look into it all n then have a think when next payday comes round at tbh I'm not sure wether to get some cheapish shock n springs now then if i decided i want coilies in the future get um thenBut i duno Do quite fancy a set of BC racing ones, as everyone seems to have D2's already Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JAG Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 I've got my mits on a few more mods such as SR rear speakers and a front drivers side standard speaker as turns out mine was missing So standard front drivers speaker looks like thisAnd Passenger 1 looks like thisAnd on closer inspection it turns out to be an uprated optional extra Carrozzeria speakerThen the speaker was jacked in and linked up to this badboySo this sent me back to my standard speakered drivers side where there is no bundle of wiringand after a hunt i found the wire trailing off the drivers side tweeter rammed between the door and the doorcard....But not bundle or wires to link it into a Carrozzeria wireing bundle which is missing aswell as the speaker to run the tweeter off So Im just left with this:So this monkeys not gonna work till i get a new Carrozzeria speaker and the wiring to go with it But after hunting the model TS-C1000A on Japhoo I've found the speakers so i just wana get my mits on a set as then il have spares aswellAltho with the exchange rate being somewhat crap im considering leaving it a while...So getting all this up and running im guessing is going to be a slow process Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JAG Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Got the adapter bits for my headunit finally so the headunit should be in by the time i leave for workIf this has dried:Sprayed with with black enamal paint as it looked all worn out and gay in the car so thought id freshed it upThen sprayed these black as well:Contrary to popular belief and how they looked before i took them off i thought it just had the 96 spec corner clusters for some wierd reason?But when i took them off there was loads of silver peely paint on the inside so im wondering wether the 98 spec indicator clusters just had some kind of black plastic surround on them and jap man robbed it?The clusters taken a lot of salt damage though n gone a bit crubley in places, i was a lil worried id turn the clips to dust when i prised the lens's off :sBut its not to badJust waiting for the laquer to dry before i get them all back on the carWas concidering spraying the rear clusters but dont have time before i go to work so il do them another day or sumin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAG Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Headunits now all in and linked up despite it taking a month and its plays through the little amount of speaker stuff I've got in or linked up so its runnin though the passenger tweeter and Carrozzeria speaker and the drivers standard 1(Mucho thanks to Scratch and SiCaln for helping me out with huntering all various bits down)So im now after another Carrozzeria 4inch for the front then something for the back and got a few pics of the front to end Accidently broke off one of the clip bits to hold the indicator unit in though which is gay when i was changing the bulbs in them as the old ones were almost glowing whiteSo i attacked it with electrical taped for the time being as a bit of a quick fix bit wobbly but never mind Also put in some new fog bulbs as the old ones were a dirty yellow colour I couldnt work out how to fit them until today when i had the indicators out Anyone whos thinking of changing them its a massive pain in the ass especially the passenger side one which has some big tanky thing right in the way :s Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JAG Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Cheers lads in my opinion looks so much more swishBut as i said silly Jaggy broke one of the clips so may have to visit a breakers yard sumtime soon again to get it sortedAlso saw a snail on my alloy randomly when i was out and though Turbo snail! Came to wash it a few days later (after a fair bit of boosting) and it was still there! So thought id take a pic of him before i took him off But crunched his shell as i pulled him off to put him in a bush....Guess he didnt think about uprating his shell to cope with boost :surrender: Also took a couple more lil snaps of the front end Quote Link to post Share on other sites
