ryan lang Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 ah mann, that happened to a mate of mine in a corsa, but he got out and knocked 7 of them out before the rest ran off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Got a quote today to have all the dents removed... £150.Getting a quote tomorrow for the rest of the bodywork, I may end up having the lot resprayed, all rust/scratches/imperfections repaired.Depending on the cost I might get the lot done and have the car looking like new.Rear MeisterR's should be here on thursday.

ste91 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 It's going to cost me £600 to get the paint patched up. Plus the £150 to get the dents out.£750+a months insurance = no money for a month. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Just had a thought, highly unlikely but I've always liked midnight purple... what are people's thoughts on having the car resprayed in midnight purple, with some bronze Rota Grids? (Doubt I'd get my hands on TE37's).As I said it's highly unlikely, but it's already going to cost £600 just to patch things up.Something like this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 you'll have to have majour wedge to srpay it that colour fella its mega bucks plus theres 3 different ones lol, it is a nice colour though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Yeah I just realised that after posting lol, it's staying red for now.If I decide I want to keep the car for a few years I'll end up dropping a B20 in it or a turbo conversion so if I did that then I'd get the whole car resprayed. I worked out my money and I'm just going to patch it up for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Leave it red dude, looks ccol in red ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Definately leaving it red for now, think I'm going to get some different wheels though, probably white Rota Grids or something, the multispokes are such hassle to keep clean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Get Black Slipstreams buddy!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Managed to get one side of the rear coilies done and adjusted the height of the fronts, and then... a fucking bolt snapped on the lower control arm. FMLIt is now slammed to the deck lol (on 3 corners), going to need raising up a bit because it's too low and looks silly. Yet another problem/more money to spend, but once the last coilover is on I'll get the height set up how I want it.Fucking thing is pissing me off, by next summer once I've got it set up how I want it it better be worth all this hassle.@ Liam - not a fan of black wheels, I love white but the multispokes are too much effort lol, I'd love some nice JDM wheels though, TE37's or Super Advans maybe.

Sparky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Honda suspension bolts are a cunt, FACT!My mates EG was on axle stands for nearly two weeks when we was fitting coilovers and LCA's because pretty much every bolt head snapped of Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 I guess I was fairly lucky having only one that snapped, it's all sorted now anyway. MeisterR's all round, just got to play around with them now to get the right ride height and damper setting.Ordered a new wing mirror and glass, dent removal man is coming on friday. I might take a couple of quick pics of the car tonight even though it's not perfectly clean, but I suppose I need to as I haven't taken any proper ones since buying it.

ste91 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Finally some pictures, bit shit as the car isn't quite as shiney as I'd like it and I'm not much of a photographer.Since the last update I've had the dents taken out although you can still slightly see two of them on the last pic. And also fitted a new wing mirror. The ride height still needs lifting up as it scrapes like fuck over speed bumps, got quite a nice stance at the moment though I think.

ste91 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Cheers Just been out for a blast in it, I love this car so much, when you're in the right mood for nailing it it's fucking perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I wouldnt higher it at all I'd live with it because it looks fucking savage!!Nice bit of camber on the front could do with a touch on the back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'd love to leave it how it is, I think I might measure it up and write it down, try it a bit higher, if I don't like it I'll just lower it back down to how it is. I need to check the state of the exhaust though lol I'm sure it's taken a bit of a bashing.About the camber, I'm going to get it set up properly once I've got it all polybushed and everything.On a side note a 2.0 Clio Sport 172 couldn't come past me yesterday.
