Baz-GlanzaV Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Right thought it's about time to put up a project thread.Start from the beginning I bought a 99 V which I adored but unfortunately was wrote off, sold and broke by another member.So I was on the look for another black facelift. Which brought me to ScottyB who kindly sold me his car so after a few chats swap insurance over I took the full day and set off at 3:30am from Rotherham to Fife! Was few stone chips around the bumper and bonnet and a small rust mark on the rear quarter panel which isn't that bad. exchanged money and the long trip home started.Specs was very standard (which I wanted) just had rsr lowering springs, buddy club exhaust, hks ssqv BOV and cruise gear knob.After her first clean;I then got on to fit the jam splitter me and a friend had sprayed;Then cleaned cars with one of lads and paint is gleaming foam clay and wax;Then took a trip upto Leicester to pick up my Genuine OEM ducktail & front mount intercooler with piping from coxycox. And as she is due a minor service and new brakes ordered some Fuchs Titan fully synthetic oil and OEM oil filter & also went and picked up some NEW drilled and grooved discs and pads from ID-WORKZ. Will get some pics up tomorrow when fitting!So today I decided I wanted to fit my Osram headlights (no pics yet) & Nardi wheel! With a few texts from Aamir I managed to get it off easy! Unfortunately I have no horn lol but self cancellers work as they should! Transformed the inside of car and feels awesome! So that's all for now with the poor introduction but as I've been meaning to get a thread up thought is put it up now while I've got a minute! Hopefully tomorrow will consist of brakes and oil change plus filter 👍 Edited March 12, 2014 by Baz-GlanzaV Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Baz-GlanzaV Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks boys, only just happened but went to set off and just as I touched throttle there was a tinny rattle noise under bonnet/front of car but as soon as I put more throttle on it went and driving was fine! Really bugging me. If anyone can shed any light much appreciated. Gonna see if she does it again tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baz-GlanzaV Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) So after my trip down to Id-WORKZ last week I came back with some exclusive goodies.Id-workz own dimpled and grooved front discs! Didn't get chance to get a pic of them fitted but will try get some soon. And IMO they are awesome and defo worth the upgrade!Also received a package today consisting of a front air filter relocation and my old boost gauge from socks. Pictures to follow tomorrow.

Baz-GlanzaV Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hopefully be cracking on with intercooler and exhaust change on Friday as the spec 2 just doesn't set back off enough for me so will be changing to my old 5zigen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baz-GlanzaV Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Little update got my backbox polished by my mates works for nothing and it looks like new! Really impressed with the finish on it.Also purchased some livesports eyelids (thanks to fremyjay, top guy) & a fast road clutch. Test fitted the eyelids, personally makes the front look awesome but still undecided whether to have them carbon dipped or just black to match the car. A/Cs getting removed tomorrow hopefully so can get the Fmic on and decide if to mesh the turbo or put the short route on? Any input is welcome guys. Besides that nothing much been going on apart from a quick clean last night Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Baz-GlanzaV Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks gents! Appreciate the feedback! I did have a rear splitter what I sold on. I'm going to go for a JAM rear bumper in near future I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
