Glanza_cl Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 are you going to roll and flair the rear arch? personally i think it looks a bit odd, but with a nice flair it would work soo much better.plus i would want to get it done and out the way in case pulling the arch cracks the paint and you have to rub it down and touch it up again.just my opinion of course haha Quote
Nanglebadger Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 the wheels give her a savage stance bro! looks ace!!!!also, never knew samco did an oil return pipe! i keep learning with these cars!lookin good man, can't wait to see it all painted up!Phil. Quote
Idrees Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks guys, appreciate all the nice comments!The rear arches are going to be flared or fully blown using fibreglass (similar way to the fronts) - it's just time required that I don't have. Braided lines are from TM-D, and yes I'm 90% sure it's a proper oil line, it has a Blue lining inside if that helps at all?Another small update..The Wilwoods brakes are once again fitted, along with a new master cylinder. The brakes need bleeding once over again, and I also need some very small spacers as the Rotas don't clear the Wilwoods. The running in process should start soon, however there are several small things that need completing before that. It's just things like vacuum hoses, refitting interior panels and fitting a new bonnet with pins. Pictures soon! Quote
_shaun_ Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 good to see ma filter put to good use i put on some 3mm spacers so i have some clearance for ma wms brakes most pathetic spacers ever Quote
Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Good news buddy, so was your master cylinder fucked? Dont tell me I need a non ABS mater cylinder now Quote
Idrees Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 I changed the master cylinder to a non-ABS one when I removed the ABS, but that was buggered. Not sure if it was different to the ABS one though, so yeah I've fitted another non-ABS one. Quote
Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Ahh hope your old one was juste buggered then lol Pics Quote
Lewis_GTT Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Awesome stuff mate. Looking very tidy engine bay. Love those wheels & wheel nuts... they go so well with the car colour.Look forward to seeing this finished. Keep up the hard work pal.Lewis Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Iddy let me know how it goes with flaring the rear arches? I need mine doing! Any ideas on what sort money it costs? Cant wait to see this! Quote
Idrees Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks for the kind words guys! I'll be doing the rear arches myself Josh. Si - I removed the ABS pump, the brake pipes and the distributor then fitted all non-ABS parts. Quote
SiCaln Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 ah cool good plan I spose lol, could mayb find em from an n/a breaker Quote
Idrees Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 A few new pictures..The wheels are big enough to make the Wilwoods look small! Quote

Sparky Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Looks savage but how can the willwoods look so small the wheels are only 16s aint they? Quote
Liam_D Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Sell me the Wilwoods pretty please! They look tiny up against the wheel though What size are the wheels? Quote

Idrees Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 The wheels are 16s, the centre of the wheel is quite big so they hide the brakes! Quote

Idrees Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 I would love to get bigger discs for them however my track wheels are going to be 15" so I'll then have trouble. I have a few weeks off at Easter so I'm hoping to have everything painted then! Quote
