JAG Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I really want to have the body kit painted and fitted next.Nice work man, just had a little browse as havn't been on in a while n mate it's looking mighty nice! But...COLOUR IT IN! x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ro55ifumi Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 IddyWatch the filter for rubbing on the rad core, i have an apexi cone similar set up an with the bit of flex in the hose it'll find it's way on to the core;)Looking sweet mateJohn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thanks guys, she will be coloured in soon, just waiting for some new crayons! Thank you John, I'll definitely get a bracket added to the filter then. I do have a bracket for it, however it needs a bit of modifying to fit.A little repair..The top oil feed was quite impossibly to get a spanner on to properly, I tightened it the best I could however it leaked oil when the car was running. So I just opened the turbo in half to get it on nice and tight, with the addition of some thread lock too. Radiator out again..Turbo split..Back together.. Notice the addition of a temporary cable tie to keep the filter away from the radiator John! Tomorrow I'll hopefully fill her up with new engine oil and having her running again.

Steve GT Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 was that the golpher radiator off ebay iddy about a month ago? looks awesome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 I bought it off a Facebook friend, Dan Tolmie. He's on TGTT, not sure if he's on this forum though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giggz Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Iddy you might be better making up a steel pipe for the filter, I had mine moved to where yours is now with just plastic and it flexed like a right un, steel pipe and doesn't move a inch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shorty Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 you gonna run a cruise bonnet then iddy? tbh i genuinly thought the carbon varis looked far more aggresive, as the whole look of the V is quite aggresive and mean. she gonna be done for fest?? eager to see her up and running Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David12 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Iddy....pimp my ride please Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm seriously unsure about the bonnet at the moment, the front bumper is being replaced with a Livesports style so I'll see what goes with that better! @ David.We did some more treaks yesterday, just getting some small bits done such as fitting the door cards properly, tie the exhaust up until I get hangers welded for it (EP82 system), bled the brakes and a few more touches.A video of her running, excuse the double sided tape on the rear quarter and wing, it's from the sideskirt. The idle also needs settling as it's a bit high at the moment. This is another video that I made around a year when the original engine was for sale, check out the difference..

Corey Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Top work as usual dude colour coded bonnet ftw imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 i still think the varis bonnet and livesport front bumper will look much better, the car looks savage and needs aggresive body parts, im desperate to see this thing in the flesh!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Cheers folks!Some more new bitsTM-D Indiglo DialsBlack Race gauges - Boost, Oil temp, Water temp. I thought I ordered Prosport gauges (from Spec-R) but these turned up. They are identical to the Prosport peak series oil pressure gauge I have so I may just keep them instead of getting a refunding and sourcing Prosports elsewhere.

Liam_D Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Good updates dude! I need some of them indiglo dials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 They're a great addition, get some bought!Some pictures progress.AEM wideband kit arrivedMy mate fitted the gauges while I fettled with the bodywork. He also got the indiglo dials fitted.Excuse the horribly messy interior.I've decided to fit the bodykit and start driving the car to get some miles on the engine. I'll paint the parts whenever I get time for each one. I don't have enough time to paint it all yet so it's just delaying the project further!A little tester/teaserThe bonnets bolted on now, I need to get some aero catches ordered for it. Next to go on should be the front bumper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
