SiCaln Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 nice developments man, lovely stuff to work with that underseal Quote
Idrees Posted May 20, 2008 Author Posted May 20, 2008 Haha yeah its some right grimey stuff! But worth it anyway as I'll never be worried that my cars gonna rust away (plan to keep it for years to come) Quote
SiCaln Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 good idea then mate, and u rnt scared of getting your hands dirty lol Quote
Guest Enzo Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 dude ive grown to luv your car even more with your last round of modifications, that steraing wheel is the nuts along with that arb,have you thought about maybe respraying it?also get a nice figure hugging bucket seat in there for yourself! Quote
Idrees Posted May 20, 2008 Author Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks mate, much appreciated!I might respray the ARB red but then again it will probably flake off as its going underneath the car!I have Black and Yellow Recaros waiting to be fitted look through the thread for pics! Quote
Sparky Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 WOW that steering wheel looks awsome!!What size is it? My mate just fitted a "drift style" one like that to his car and im quite tempted to get one myself actually Awsome work bro wish I wasnt so skint right now Quote
Idrees Posted May 20, 2008 Author Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks Sparky. Yeah I'm loving the wheel too I can't wait to take the car for a blast with it!!Its a 350mm OMP 'Corsica'Your not the only skint one mate, I'm a little empty pocketed after buying all these parts! Quote
kroozin Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 thanks for the spec list, how does your car handle and perform ? Why do you have 4 stud top mounts? are they for the Kayaba shocks? p.s i added you to msn Quote
SiCaln Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Looking good mate, i take it that the new steering wheel hasnt got the airbag??.I want a aftermarket wheel but dont want to lose the airbag.the only aftermarket with airbag is TRD but theyr loadsa moneysorry idrees, only just saw that post Quote
Liam_D Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 the only aftermarket with airbag is TRD but theyr loadsa moneysorry idrees, only just saw that postNever seen the TRD wheel, but i can kinda guess that it is gonna be expensive being TRD and all.Looking good Idrees, think i will underseal mine when i manage to get it on a ramp down at work.

Idrees Posted May 20, 2008 Author Posted May 20, 2008 thanks for the spec list, how does your car handle and perform ? Why do you have 4 stud top mounts? are they for the Kayaba shocks? p.s i added you to msn Not had the chance to drive it properly yet as I've only just turned 17 last month, so I can't answer your question properly. I've kept level with a Saxo VTR in 1st and 2nd gear before we ran out of road though. (VTRs are meant to be quicker but maybe it was his bad day, he had an LSD and Quickshift too!)I will comment on the handling once all the handling parts are fitted and its on the road The KYB shocks had 3 stud top mounts but I had a pair of 4 studs lying about so fitted them.

Idrees Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Thanks mateFINALLY... The Recaros are in the car rather than in my bedroom doing nothing.A bit more modifying of the seats/rails got me this far...Bolted in nicely :angry:Now I just need to get the bottom half of the seats on the rails properly, but thank god the rails finally fit in the bloody car!by the way they feel amazing with the steering wheel etc Quote
BenV Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 good work manthose seats look mint in there, realy set it off Quote
Dean @RW-Developments Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 them seets look the dogs mate :angry: Quote
Idrees Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Thanks guys, they'll be completely fitted soon all being well.The idea of smoothing the scoop in to the bonnet failed, my own fault because I got mistaken and used the wrong filler and it kept cracking. And then I just cracked the scoop out, and found the soft filler I was supposed to use afterwards. Damn, I am a BULB sometimes (As Bourkey would say lol) Pics..How cool with no bonnet Nice few coats of primer:Two coats of gloss black:Will have a wicked finish once I have gave it another coat after flatting it tomorrow, and then I'll buff it next week As you can see I've started sanding the bumper down too. I will get that completed after the bonnet, and then MOT prep time. Quote
BenV Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 nice work man. you gona try and smooth the bonnet vent again? Quote
Idrees Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Nope! I might even want a reverse scoop in the future so best off not smoothing it in! Quote
Bourkey Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Bulb you are my friend. Looking smooth bud. Coming along nicelyBourkey Quote
