JamesP Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Hi all, I keep meaning to start a build thread and kept forgetting but I've finally decided to start one. I bought the car back in october 2013 from torgue gt. I've always wanted one and after seeing it online decided to have a look at it. After test driving it I had to have it. Here's a few pics from when i picked it up. It's running a toyosports td04 turbo kit and mapped on EMB at 215 bhp atm. My plans are just to tidy it up and enjoy it at the moment. I already done a few things to it and got some nice parts turn up so I'll update it when I get chance. Edited April 26, 2015 by JamesP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JamesP Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 So the first thing that I had to change was the horrible looking and uncomfortable standard seats. So I bought a pair on Honda Integra DC2 black Recaros They came with a pair of replica takata harnesses but I didn't want to fit them so I sold them. Then I modified the DC2 rails and made a bracket for the exhaust tunnel. And then got them in. So much better and comfier than the standard seats! I'll sort some more photos over the weekend so I can get this thread up to date of where i'm to with the car at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ro55ifumi Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Nice work on the seats John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Very nice mateThanks mate.Them seats look awesome man!Was that the only work required to make them fit on there original rails?There was a bit more work involved. The front two holes just needed drilling bigger and the back one needed cutting off and welding at a slightly different angle. But it wasn't very difficult.Nice work on the seats JohnThanks bud.

JamesP Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) So another thing that annoyed me was the turbo timer and boost controller were stuck in the drivers foot well. They kept falling off and I always kicked them when getting in the car. When I got the car it had a slot for a double din head unit but I only fitted a single din unit in the car so decided to try and make something to fill the hole and mount the turbo timer and boost controller. I took the panel off under the steering wheel and found a mess of wires! Somehow I managed to work out what was what and get the timer and controller to the centre console. Using a bit of sheet metal started to make a panel to hold up the head unit and mount the timer and controller. Got the holes cut out and two plates bolted under the holes to hold the timer and controller up. Glued it into the centre console. sprayed it all with a satin black to try and make it look fairly original. And finally got it all fitted in. Its a crap pic but you get the idea, I'll try and get a better one later. I also sprayed the wiper arms as they were a mess. That's all for now but i've got something pretty exciting on the way!

JamesP Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Thanks for the comments! I done my wipers last week lots so much tidier like that, so what wheels are you going for??? As for wheels jay, your about to find out. So I fancied changing my wheels and couldn't resist one on Meister-R's offers on enkei's. A couple of weeks ago I came home to this. Treated myself to a set of RPF1's After trying to decide on what tyres to go with them. I decided to go with a set of Yokohama AD08R's after seeing a lot of good reviews and a lot of people on here using them and only having good things to say about them. Got them ordered up and fitted this week. So of with the old. And on with the new. I was planning on getting some better pictures today but the weather is crap so I'll wait until it stops raining. That's all for now. When it stops raining I'll try and get some good pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JamesP Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Yeah I new I had to go better than the volks and I think I managed it. There such a nice wheel, I've always wanted a set so it's nice to finally have them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
