Armand Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hello UKSO a few of you's may know me already as ive been on here now 5 years. I havent put up a build thread previously as my little V has been garaged for 5 years and has probably been on the road a few months in the years that ive owned it. Well this year im getting my ass into gear and getting it finished to the way i want it. Heres a few pictures of it when I first bought it. I drove the car for about 4 months then i decided to stupidly buy a BEE-R and then this happened to say the least it wasnt long till the Bee-R got ripped out and sold on. I managed to source a new engine the following day and get it put into the car at the weekend. A few pictures of the old engine and the car up on the lift. When the new engine was put in i decided to take the car off the road a few weeks later (2009) Theres a few plans for it this year so i will try to keep this updated regularly.

Armand Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 So a few wee updates ive been quite busy these past few weeks with the V I got myself a new HDI rep FMIC Brackets i made to fit FMIC A 60mm 90 deg stainless bend and a 60mm to 45mm reducer. New one compared to old one that i had. Toyosports Civic Rad and JD Tuning Brackets Heres a few pics of it all fitted I always loved the look of JAM Glanza's so i decided to get the kit well not the whole kit yet. So far i have Genuine JAM Skirts and a Rep Back bumper.Im just waiting on a rear spoiler and 98spec front bumper and lip. It will all come eventually. Also got my Blitz NUR Spec Cut and lenghtened to suit the JAM rear bumper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Armand Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) I havent updated this in a while, due to being so busy at work. But i have the engine out and getting a stock rebuild as we speak. And the other engine in due time will get forged when i get my finger out and buy the pistons. While the engine was out i decided to give the bay a clean and to fit my tuning developments ABS removal kit. Makes the bay look cleaner.Before After And also got a new set of Wedsport TC05's (5hour drive was worth it!) that i got repainted and re-stickered. Sorry for the shitty pic. Ill try get better pics when they are clean. Anyways im sticking to the good old CT9 but i got a Tongs Hybrid and got Liam to rebuild it. Great job he did too! Heres some pictures. And I also got the first ever Godzilla Kit for CT9 frame (according to Sacha) As usual the WEPR kits are awesome, the pictures dont do justice. Thats all for now. Should be enough to keep me busy for a while. Armand Edited October 20, 2015 by Armand Quote Link to post Share on other sites
