i still have no plans to touch the engine, theres no point i dont think as its fast enough,

totaly never even expected it to start out like this but since the prang thought fuck it why not will be good once finnished

@ wallace aye i would rather it looked ruff as fuck but right now its a tug chariot. im totaly legal but the police pull me all the time

only a few mates understand what the cars capable of, others just think its a proper shed

@phil

i do most of the work myself so its quite cheap what im doing as i dont pay close to standard prices including for parts.

i have to spray the car now due to repairing the arch so why not a change as its not costing me much. il prep and prime it myself. lianne picked the colour as i couldent make up my mind. its not origenal but it will look pretty minted with some rims i have.

ive got the modifying bug due to some of the cars i have properly scalped in standard trim looking like a right shed and beating smug drivers in cars that cost 15 times as much is alot of fun. the cars just crying out for more torque.

im getting alot more technical with athena. some good updates to come :p

If it makes you happy mate, let the mods continue for both cars.

Amen Joz,

Both brilliant cars....and fast! Why not get the best of both worlds???

Turbo and Vtec are two completely different aspects but both give you that great feeling behind the wheel.

Obviously we are all biased here (no s**t sherlock) But if you can work on both Enz........JUST DO IT!!!

this is what beril used to look like

DSC00032.jpg

everything lining up straight bar the bumper meeting the boonnet due to not having the right clips

fastfoward a few months

heres how beril stands at the moment after more damage

actualy totaly plugged into my origenal idea of making it look like a shed when i got it,

baited some quick cars wi it and i totaly love the rat look of it like this bellow

looking like this people totaly dont expect it to have the power that it does

P1000153.jpg

bottom of the bumper missing and the kinks in the bonnet

P1000151.jpg

check out the cabel ties holding the two parts of the bumper together

P1000165.jpg

the damage came after i was up in fortwilliam i came out to the car and soms c"""nt had properly shunted into it and done a runner totaly fucking up the front end,

chek the kink in the cross member warrenting a new one

P1000172.jpg

so half an hours work later on sunday i set about stripping beril again for the second time

P1000173.jpg

P1000174.jpg

if it were up to me id drive it about and not bother with the respray but constant pressure from lianne and my mates have pushed me into getting it looking normal

lianne wanted me to make it a type r replica but thought whats the point and it would mean more work for the spraying

i have all the new parts waiting so by the time i get back from my hols it will be looking totaly standard inluding 1.4 tropical badges at the back lol

ive invested some cash in the suspension and have a full cat bak exhaust with decat and this funky wails penis indution kit

P1000168.jpg

just waiting on a manfiold but the key ingreadient are some type r cams and toda springs that il get on the 3rd

this along with a remap will give me a 9k redline and aprox 190bhp, then it will be getting left alone
