Idrees Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Thanks dude.The skirts are finally painted :D stuck them in my 'oven' (inside the car with the heater on full blast for an hour) after painting them which made the lacquer set really nicely and quickly. I will me doing that more often!! Next on the cards is to paint the window surrounds, and I'm hoping to get them done tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Not posted here in a while.. Little updates..She passed her VIC on 20th November and got Tax'd hours later Blinger her up today for some pictures, and done loads of bits and bobs since she has been on the road. Nothing too big though, apart from a new lambda sensor which has made her behave on fuel and a couple of decals.Starting with a couple of pics from last week..And today's.. (back of the car looks annoyingly high, it's lower in the flesh!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 She's really looking part now man Lovin the colour coded decal along the side of the bonnet.Lovin 98/99 spec even more now, thats where its at Tayyibs is pretty sweet too!Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Its looking amazing mate!!! Lets hope the roads dont mess the paintwork up too much. Cant wait to see this in the metal one day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Love the car!Just a quick question, on the previous page you have a picture of the door open and its stripped. Ive stripped mine but havent taken the water shield(shitty plastic sheet)off, just wondering if youve had any water coming in when raining etc?i had a mini which didnt have any sheeting, and before i knew it, the footwell was soooooaaaking.

Idrees Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Thanks guys Baz I haven't noticed any water coming, but saying that, the footwell got flooded once. I didn't think that this would be the cause but I am now guessing it is. I think I need to get that covered then!Just got hold of this bad boy..5Zigen fireball off an EF CRX. 3.5" tail pipe with the wirewool still in place to silence it. I think it should sound better than the custom 4" I have on it, I'm gonna enquire about fitting and see if it's worth it.. I haven't paid for this yet, its off a mate who wants £100 for it..

BAZ2CRAZY Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 cheers, yeh i think il leave it on then. it just looks awfull!nice pipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 looking fantastic mate, glad you stuck with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Get that back box on boy!!!!! Angled obviously .Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 wouldnt think it would be hard to fit, just weld some hangars on and get a bit of pipe welded to your current one to fit the end - if it bends and is shorter that is.some good picks there though Idrees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 My bro went to enquire about fitting today (as I laid in bed - Ill) £30 to get it fitted, but not at an angle. The pipe coming off the backbox is huge compared to piping on the car, so he said he will use a reducer and it'll have to be straight. No bends etc so won't be able to angle it. I think it'll sound sweet though. :cool:The brakes are an epic fail. Rear cylinders are leaking so I might aswell go for a rear disc conversion.I dunno what to do though? Pay for the exhaust and get it fitted and repair the brakes on the cheap, or go for the brake upgrade and return the exhaust to him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I`d keep the exhaust n repair the brakes.....tbh you not running HUGE power so its not something which is a must also getting an exhaust like that for £100 isn`t bad n if eventualy you come to look for one, you wont find one.P.s get well soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
