Mikep82 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks G, now that i am able to post up some updates.The car was picked up already in nov. 2010 a week before the blizzard took place.Verhicle was registred in the netherlands on the 4th of jan. Loving it since After fittin some 15" steelies, and the oilies done. This car was mented for a daily but the feaver gettin into it Last monday i received my first aftermarket upgrade, and fitted it. When i pulled in 2nd gear or higher before fittin the damper, from about 1,5k - 2,5k rpm, the car vibrate more then pulling off. After fitting this damper the vibrations are gone. And now its working proper, shifting is also faster and not to forget about the throttle response that has increased. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mikep82 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Been busy these days and menaged to get this far with the test fitting of the gt parts. Now waithing for some parts for the front looks, so we can pre fit everything before the respray.Rear bumper without foglight coming over to I want to keep this one standard, only with another spoiler, grill, wheels. Coils i'll get after the respay and holidays.Prob only the Meister R's are good for the job... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stulet-GTT Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 All fit pretty well...Nice little project coming along... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 looking good, and is it wrong i like the two tone? also mike, did you bolt the brackets for the skirts on to the sills or are you just bonding it all on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Looks awesome x2 What shorty said, I also quite like the 2 toneAre there any plans to turbo it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikep82 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 @ Stulet-GTT Thanks ;)Where gatering some goot gt parts for a while now. But came up with al these color combo's and thought about this... In reversed combo offcourse I quite like it to myself but already chosen the new 2 tone color allready @ shorty my english isnt that good in particular words so maybe these pics wil say so...First to start is to remove the spats and side trim, use the standard holes to lign up the gt panels with original clips. Those in place, bolt the smaller bracket in the gt panel, feel look if its in position, snjak and drilling (that hurts), if this come out good (crossed fingers) it al comes out on trust Now holding the brackets in place with the original parker like screws, but resprayed we will use rivets and other protecting material to preserve some paint under the brackets.Only thing that is a little tricky is the door panel bracket, to get that one in place.Hope this make sence?@ Electranova Maybe, now i am still enjoying the 100 na horses. Also busy with a rebuilt engine for my 82, going bigger turbo and cusco lsd. Keeping the Jam ecu and Blitz K1-200v to power up the 4e someday If everything goes well next thursday or friday i can add the jdm headlights and the most important thing i almost forgot, the grill brackets. No way to install the grill without those. And the hood with reversed scoop but plans change, gi bonnet wanted looking for some Toms new action wheels but hard to come by these days .

shorty Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Love it!! And cheers bud exactly what i was looking for with the pics i also wanted a gi but so hard to get, may fibre glass myself one as would be far easier in the long run tbh. Keep up the good work bud. Mine is not far off with the panels too but mine has stayed all black. Still love the two tone though!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikep82 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Couldn't help it, car must get dirty The gt panels are good for less mud on the sides.Not the best pics and movies but managed to get some when driving alone.At first clean,Look at the elevation :harhar: This little dirt trial if had to conquer!After: not to dirty, with grass on the bottom.Some vids:Dirt trial 85 YoutubeDirt trial 85 (2)Dirt trial 85 (3)Earlier this year my bro fix a little movies while trying..First attemp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
