Rich-k Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 errrmmmaaagggeerrrdddd...I actually ordered a thing for this car. Grey dash mat ordered from Australia - not to everyone's tastes I know, but after seeing one in Joel's Chaser, and looking at the frankly SHITE job I did of drilling my dash, I think this is the best solution to tidy and smarten things up.

coddy72 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Looking so good, credit to all the hard work you've put into her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Cheers bud. Still waiting on the dash mat, but then Australia is a bit of a jaunt to be fair. Itching to get back to tinkering at this, but the house move is up in the air so for now we're at a frustrating stand still. Ah well, winter's coming anyway. Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Update She might still be tucked away in a shed that's nowhere near my house and thanks to some time wasting assholes fucking me over on our house move, she is now destined to be stuck there for longer than I anticipated, however some progress still continues in the background. Dash mat has arrived from Australia - just needs some large strips of velcro and straightened out a bit, and then an afternoon with a stanley blade awaits for fitting: And I've been hankering to treat her to something else recently, and with some birthday monies to be spent, a quick message to Jayz Garage secured these two beauties for the dash: Slowly, slowly.

Nanglebadger Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Yeah she aint dead yet buddy. Trying to move house (somewhat unsuccessfully) so once that sorted and she's into her new abode, I can crack on with installing all these recent parts! Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 good man! currently saving for a house so any parts buying has to go on hold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Update Brackets for DIN boxes have been sourced and just need collected from Hookie (NorthStars FTW!) Should be pulling the trigger on some Rainsport 3s for the Rays soon too all being well, which is FAR sooner than I ever anticipated but will be one of the more sizable expenses off the to-do list.

Nanglebadger Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Nope. Last time I ventured away from Uniroyals it turned out to be an expensive mistake (Continentals). Lesson learnt - stick to what I know works. I dont ever plan to let her see rain again, but should I get caught out, Rainsports perform superbly in both wet and dry, and most of the NorthStars are of the same opinion. If it aint broke, dont fix it. Uniroyals. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Nice to see some recent action. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Indeed bud, although the fact its still tucked up elsewhere is driving me fucking potty. Those who follow my IG feed will also have seen the Christmas present I bought her - a rather mint looking CleanAce courtesy of Jayz Garage! Will likely order some tyres following pay day. Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Update Picked up the Christmas present as well as some other goodies from the Costa Del Vogie yesterday: double din brackets for the two boxes, Motorfan magazine and MINT condition brochure for my specific model and colour. As always, big thanks to Jay! And thanks to Hookie for the brackets! Phil. Edited January 9, 2017 by Nanglebadger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Update Tyres now mounted to the Volks after some faffing about from Camskill. Also, with the help of Jay once again, did a buy on the auctions: Phil. Edited February 1, 2017 by Nanglebadger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maerijn Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'm also looking for that! What search terms did you use on the auctions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 No idea bud, Jay found it for me. I was searching for "parking pole" which turned up a few items on Jauce but not that one. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Update Well blow me down with a feather, an actual update. GaragEP Global HQ recently relocated back to the beautiful Antrim Coast and yesterday we took advantage of the lovely warm dry weather to go and fetch Project BadgerSport and dig her out from her cave. Started first time as always, and other than a sticky caliper that soon worked its way loose, all was well. Naturally the urge to get stuck in was strong, so a couple of changes were immediately made in the sunshine (note, I have NO idea why these images are rotating when they upload as the original files arent rotated - apologies). Before - tidy enough but far from perfect, terrible gaps, just a bad fitment: And after - much better: Then it was onto the interior lighting arrangements; to date this has been the stock UK spec dome light but with a somewhat out of date blue LED arrangement ("Oh dear Phil, you're in your 30s now!" I hear you cry), time for something from the options catalogue: Just a note for anyone thinking of a Clean Ace for their UK spec, be aware that the mount on the roof and the bracket for the Clean Ace do not tie up at all, clearly the GT and/or V mounts are a more substantial item than the UK specs - this required some DIY bodgery to fit. Dash mat and gold tape and Meisters and a good clean and maybe swapping on the Rays as well as the lower arms etc etc etc all to tackle now that she's finally home. Anyone who wants to come assist with any of those tasks will be renumerated with hot beverages. Phil. Edited May 29, 2017 by Nanglebadger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Update Fairly productive weekend this week - I had wrapped the cold side FMIC intake pipe in gold reflective tape earlier in the week so refitted that, along with a brand new battery (AT LAST!! Only took about 5 years) and an RW Developments battery clamp I've had knocking about for years too that I had powder coated last year. I also stood pondering where else to apply some tape so ended up doing the EFI pipe too - not just as neat as the job on the FMIC pipe due to the contours on the rear of the EFI pipe but still tidier than some of the crease-jobs you see online: Then it was time for some spacers - the Volks are great, but have always sat in too far, as you can see here with my weak stance game: My brother had a set of spacers that were 5mm at the rear and 2.5mm at the front (brand unknown) so I thought I'd try them out - pretty pleased with the results considering they cost me nothing, and certainly a noticable improvement to the position of the wheels: I apologise again that the pics are auto-rotating. Trisk is looking into this error and hopefully can resolve it ASAP as its annoying AF. Still plenty to do to get her ready for MOT, but the jobs on the to-do list are slowly being ticked off. Phil.
