Starbuck Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Looking superb. Can't wait for mine to be sorted. Quote
daz gt turbz Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 looks spot on mate, but get some spacers!, atleast for the rear. they change the whole look of the car! Quote
MARC MOSS Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 Did tom's add spacers? Now I'm unsure dan ! You are the second person to say that!! Quote
daz gt turbz Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 fuck knows mate. i put some 20mm spacers all round on mine, back 1s were a pain in the arse to get the wheels not to catch but realy did make a difference in the looks. have a look ing my build thread theres some pictures in there somwhere.

shorty Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 looks the actual tits!! cant wait to see it in the flesh tomorrow Quote
Amjad Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I only say spacers because I'm a fan of nice flush wheels that fill out the arches, and those TOMs would look MAD with some Quote
MARC MOSS Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 Well as always with these moneypit cars just as one thing gets sorted another arises !Just thought I'd take her for a spin to pickup my daughter a mile up the road, all was fine till I got back and found the rear drivers side disc glowing and smelling rather bad Fortunately shorty and grant were round earlier grant said he had one spare on a gt he is breaking ! Talk about a love hate relationship lol Quote
daz gt turbz Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 thats why ive got 2 reconditioned 1s in the garage! you can never have enough working spares imo! Quote

MARC MOSS Posted August 27, 2011 Author Posted August 27, 2011 Fair play dude, john if u can't source any of that carpet do u want ne to pick some up and bring it to jae? Quote
MARC MOSS Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 Well we started yesterday doing the rear caliper and front discs and pads which went on easily Then this morning we set about doing the engine And gearbox poly bushes which all fittedand went in easy tooThen after that we removed the old rad attached the fan tO the new one and started installing it into the car. Just as we were comin to the end of the job I went to attach the top and bottom hoses to find that my silicone ones didn't fit which was potentially a massive problem for getting her back on the road today!Anyway after a few Panic calls to mr mike b and mr rob 2.2 we had to goto ferndown and rob kindly removed his hoses from his starlet and is letting me use them whilst mike was up trents pulling hoses off of cars for me as well!! By the way , cheers guysAnyway the rads now on and working well the engine poly mounts vibrate the car like hell but it's wicked and ready for next week yeyyyy Quote
daz gt turbz Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 they do go on mate but are very tight. always put the on the rad out the car so you got all the room you need to wrestle them on! i put the hose in some boiling water for a few mins and wd40 the rad outlet and with a bit of a fight they do go on! what make were the rad hoses? Quote
rob_bower Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 looking good dude cant wait to have a neb at JAE Quote
MARC MOSS Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 I got it on dan but it tore it as it was so tight!Anyway this was the driverside engine mount issue I found too lolAll melted and not even connected lol, the only quibble I now have is that the screamer pipe is about 15mm from the bottom hose ! Its not gonna touch as nothing moves at all and I have heatwrapped it so fingers crossed it'll be ok Quote
MARC MOSS Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 Fitted my rear Benin tow eye earlier The front has a great spot but I gotta make a bracket upAlso finally attached my stickon numberplateThen after years I actually fitted an airfilter lol it was a tight squeeze but it needed to be done, I've been runnin gauze for the last few yearsI will miss the sound of the spoolup but it may last a little longer now!
