akyakapotter Posted May 15, 2019 Author Posted May 15, 2019 So got round to finishing off the skirt today will do for now they need to be redone at some point they are a mess. also adjusted my panhard rod aswell as it was over N/S way to much . Quote
akyakapotter Posted May 23, 2019 Author Posted May 23, 2019 Had an issue after I came off track at Japfest thought I broken another gearbox. Turns out I'd just lost a clip for the gear cables so made one out of an old gate clasp will do for now . Decided it was about time I put an air filter set up on. This is what I went for. Quote
HedgeyGedgey Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 What made you put an air filter on? Meshed sounds too good lol Quote

akyakapotter Posted August 12, 2019 Author Posted August 12, 2019 Been down to the starlet today as didn't take it to Jae and was gutted. I've moved the harnesses onto the cage. binned off the sub and put a spare wheel in its place. Need to get out and use the thing. Few issues to look into though it over filled the overflow when I took it to japfest silverstone maybe the rad at fault though will have a look into it. Quote
akyakapotter Posted August 19, 2019 Author Posted August 19, 2019 Made a start on putting carpet in harder than I was expecting but I'll get there in the end. Quote
akyakapotter Posted August 20, 2019 Author Posted August 20, 2019 All done looks much better imo Have also decided I'd like a proper bucket seat. I've ordered a bride rail from upgarage in Japan should be here in about 3 months. Was in no rush so went with cheaper shipping. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Nice progress bud, interior is looking well! Phil. Quote
akyakapotter Posted August 28, 2019 Author Posted August 28, 2019 Few little bits turned up today decided to replace the intercooler as it's very tired now. Also purchased a JD Tuning civic rad bracket. just waiting on some gold reflective tape to turn up to wrap the cooler pipes then I'll get this lot fitted. Quote
HedgeyGedgey Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 The bride rail will change how the car feels for the better, I had evo recaros on starlet rails and felt like I was on top of the car, not in it. Bride rail and now feels so much better Quote
jellybaby Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Hummm I going to have a kook on that site lol dam you for making me spend money 🤑 Quote
akyakapotter Posted September 2, 2019 Author Posted September 2, 2019 Gold tape turned up today only 5 days late made a start on applying it. God it's not easy to do. Tomorrow's job replace the intercooler. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Yeah I found the bends quite awkward to keep tidy, and I'm a fussy bollox so it upset my happiness quite a bit. Looks like you've done a pretty tidy job bud! Phil. Quote
akyakapotter Posted October 15, 2019 Author Posted October 15, 2019 Managed to get down to the car for the first time in ages took my full body kit off to repair and repaint over winter. Quote
akyakapotter Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 Today I started on the refurb of the body kit. The livesports skirts are first to be attacked. God I hate sanding but it's ok Einhell had my back in the form of a battery powered sander. Will slowly get them all sanded down ready for repair and repaint. Quote
HedgeyGedgey Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 You have far too much patience to sand all that down lol Quote
akyakapotter Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 Oh mate tell me about it have had to stop every 40mins my battery kept running out. Have got a second one now I'll do some more at some point then it's time to repair the fiberglass. I use fiberglass filler as can't get along with the matting. Quote
akyakapotter Posted November 14, 2019 Author Posted November 14, 2019 Overnight parts from Japan (3 Months). Now for it to live under my bed for a few months while I get cash together for a seat. Haven't done much more on the body kit. I hate using fiberglass I'll get round to it soon. I have 12days holiday the start of December will crack on then. Cheers nick Quote
Calum122 Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 Only three months...amatuer. So what do these rails do? Give you a lower seating position? Quote
akyakapotter Posted November 15, 2019 Author Posted November 15, 2019 Won't be as low as the custom one I have at the moment just means I can run a fixed back bucket seat without the messing around. Bolt and play jobbie. Quote
Dave D Glanza V Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Wow 63 pages of this shite, jokes cars looking good bud Quote
