Dizzy Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Not much of an update..Sprayed the crash bar etc matte black, and the red rocker cover was staring at me, so did that quickly too (will re-do in another colour and properly when I decide ) And fitted the new headlights, ready for my new bumper this weekend A cool shot of it all together, make such a diff from my yellowy/grey ones lolMore next week Rich K's progress on my wheels: Oh, and my key ring :D haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 So, big thanks to rich K on here!!! stayed up until midnight to finish my varis bumper and JAM brows done n excellent job Meshed it with black aliminium mesh, yellow tinted fogs fitted and put on really happy with the results, 205 black is an awesome colour!! Anybody a little worried about fitting molded bumpers, this one from idree's fitted like a glove. really pleased!Too rainy to test fit brows Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Beautiful V, not normally a fan of 16"s but those look lovely! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 LOOKS FANTASTIC! so happy with how it came out!!! Same man ty Beautiful V, not normally a fan of 16"s but those look lovely! The 16" are going for 14" Rays. They do look really nice though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Looks awesome mate, so fresh especially with all the new parts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can't go wrong with the Rays, those are my favourite wheel! It's a same they're 14" though, limits your brake options. (I think WMS supply a bit for small wheels though saying that). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 the EBC turbogroove's and yellowstuff pads are immensely different to the stock ones u know, I was looking at WMS kit but I havent got the power to warrant them yet though, plus 14" for better acceleration My current set up with braided lines etc is deffo enough for now, I'll see what happens come track day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Looks awesome mate, so fresh especially with all the new parts!Ty dude your website is a dangerous thing haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Haha. Very nice to meet you last week too, you gave us all a good laugh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Dunno what tyre sizes are like in 14" though, but the acceleration should be immense! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 i was thinking R888's, 185 60 14, but the duration and cost is putting me off. may go rainspec 3 or prada spec 2. not sure, im similar size.Idreee's, an 18stone 6ft1 guy in a seat even amir struggled to fit in, for 2 hours, was no laughing matter haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Parada's were rubbish for me, I highly rate URS3's, and have heard nothing but good things about R888s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Ahh I've never ran prada's, I've got T1-r proxys bit the side wallis a bit soft for my preference. R888's are amazing except they aquaplane a bit, being semi slick.Might have to go uniroyal RS3 everybodys loving them right now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 The sidewalls are admittedly soft on the URS3's, but the wet and dry grip is amazing! Miles above T1R-s! I've been told if you get enough heat into R888's they're not bad in the wet. But I presume getting heat into them on the road is the difficult part! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uzzy@ID-Workz Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Nice to meet you that day mate. Car looks really good now. I have URS3's ATM and would recommend them. Been great for me so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 was really nice to meet you too dude Well, here she is cleaned up and everything fitted. Quite a change considering all I was ment to do was MOT prep it lolI'm REALLY happy with how its turning out, cant wait for the new wheels, although the rota's do look nice here lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redz11 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 looks so evil that front end! cant wait to see it on the rays! will look immense! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dizzy Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Same here lee hope they go with it now haha 16's are growing on me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I reckon with the beautiful colour that the rays are going in the wheels it will look AWESOME! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Just the fact there 14" haha im sure they'l suit my end goal better tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Had its MOT, it passed bu got some advisories. So putting the modding on hold and decided to renew almost everything!! Want it running perfect before I do any more performance/looks to it. So my new list is:*Gearbox seal*Brake pipes*Brake Lines (Got my braided ones)*2x rear wheel bearings*Renew the boots all around*Renew the bushes all around (polybush)*Find and repair the tiny blow that is hiding from me!*Track rods and ends*Tracking*Alternator*Fuel pump*Water pumpNot all of these need doing urgently, and some not at all, but this is my next priority list So I'll collect all the neccesary parts and more than likely get a garage to fit them all for me, including the 6 paddle since the gearbox seal is leaking a tiny bit. The Driveshaft CV boots only have pinholes in them which I could apparently fix with a dab of glue lol, but this time around I'm making this car perfect and fixing every little tiny niggle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Well, its all going good again, but the car being so small and me having 2 children on my own its becoming a bit of a hassle :/ Keep having phases of wanting to sell up/trade in for something bigger but staying jap turbo.Convince me I'll regret seling it someone! lol. Took this last night, romantic night for 2 (me and the car lol) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
