opindown Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 2 1/2" exhaust w/ N1 style dual canons. - going to a single bigger canonTOMS front bar, toyota factory option skirts and rear spats. - full custom front bar from a civic will be goin onUpdated interior bits & Mitsubish fto front seats (mmmm comfy) 450x300 front mount w/ sexy white piping.Monza bov - going to a GFB plumb back set up17" rims. - one has a dent but will have that fixed, I have a set of 14" TOMS wheels to go on once prettied upTurbosmart bleed valve at bout 11psi - changing to electronic dual stageAutometer boost guage on A pillar - Need to get the oil and water.KYB shocks & king springs all round - OH GOD these will be goingExedy HD clutch - goin for a exedy brass button cusion clutchPod filter routed to the front to get that sweet cold air.Battery relocation to the boot.Few blue painted bits... rocker cover, brakes - all getting taken back to black/grey - few other bits will be retrimmed - nothing like a nice and clean looking nearly stock interior. black and grey aint far off stock.I cant bitch at the price that i bought it for and it is worth every pennyPics:Got bored so did a little something with the grillcame across a cheap head unit off the flat mate. (free) JVC EXAD head unit with the 3" screenNo pics though. it is just like my old 71, little things need doing on it but will end up being a face lift kind of thing eg new skirts and rear pods/bar tinted windows and a full stereo install. once i am done then i will probably end up selling it and going on to do more of a track starlet. seen as this one already has the kit then i figure i might as well keep going with it and pretty it up a bit, then start from scratch on a track pig. I have rethought the colour scheme for te engine bay. I hve decided to go for the "look at me blinding yellow, white and silver look". I hope to blind the cops when and if they pull me over. I am also getting some yellow silicone radiator hoses made (a one off order). I have also resprayed my GT badge. all things I have done whilst waiting for the moulds to dry for the pods. (bloody cold weather) Have been very bored whilst waitingfor the pod resin, gelcoat, flowcoat, pva to dry so i got to work on the boot install last night. the spot under the fibreglass sub box is where my tool kit will be going (things i never leave home with out)got bored today with fark all money to my name so i decided to rip the bonnet off and polish the under side of it. I am glad i did because it now looks a million bucks. next stop the rest of the engine bay. Oh and I also paint stripped the TOMS wheels1. Custom front bar2. Custom rear bar will be next 3. custom side skirts4. boot install5. bracing6. smaller radiator7. get all the gear for the turbo change8. tape and spray in white (maybe with a pearl)Thats about it that i can atleast see in the forseable futureNow for some picsBefore:After:Will Keep you posted with the details as i go Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bean Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 the painted ic pipes are a nice touch. id like to get mine anodised some time. i think the toms bumper should stay though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
opindown Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 I am still in 2 minds about the toms bar. the problem i got with it is everyone has them.I like to make my cars stand out and be different. hints why i am making the rear bar for it and some skirts aswell. but like i tell alot of people. I am glad i am building the car to suit me and not you. (no pun intended) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

opindown Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 got a little more done yesterday but due to lack of funds atm it will be put on the back burner untill i get some more resin. I might start on the rear bar now and get all don e before the glassing begins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

opindown Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 yeah i will be keeping the wheels but when i go to the track i will be throwing the toms on there so i dont fark my 17's not to mention the 17's wouldnt be to good out on the track i dont think.with the BOV i find it is a good place to hide it. any time i have been pulled over they havnt pinned me on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
