RobSR Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi guys/gals..Heres my build up/repair thread of restoring the SR to its former glory! ;) You would of seen the car before, (fishy89's) but i will be getting hold of it in the next month or so....i am starting to collect parts so it will all be mended in time for when i learn to drive....All ready have a few parts in the pipeline, which are some HID's courtesy of Scutch0, and some clear indicators from idress which i should be getting in the next couple of days...Next on the list, is a new front and of course a new bonnet!Once all the bodywork is complete, it will be treated to some new suspension, which will either be some Tein S-Tech Springs, or some RS*R springs, and some new uprated dampers.....The car in it's current state, a bit of work to be done here! :PCheersRob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Good luck with it dude. Make sure you start it up every now and then or even get someone to take it for a run out somewhere.What plans you got for it dude?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Sounds awesome with the rev limiter!Nice to know your getting it soon, good luck with it.Clear lenses are ready to go, PM me your address and I'll send them as soon as I've got the funds mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Si@Fiske Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Sounds awesome with the rev limiter!Cheers!, the limiter does sound awesome....but its sort of blown the de-cat up, so that also needs to be sorted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Good luck with it dude. Make sure you start it up every now and then or even get someone to take it for a run out somewhere.What plans you got for it dude??well obviously first sort out all the bodywork....and then im going to sort out the handling/chassis side of things....hopefully get some tein s-tech springs, few anti-roll bars, rear strut, room bar, fender bar etc...Not much else needs to be done, as the engine has already got the manifold, hybrid panel filter....etc, put im tempted to get some iridium plugs and some new leads Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Plans sound good dude. Pretty much the same as mine.Good luck with it mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Bit of a change of plan....what im going to try and do now is, get a front bumper off a remix, and turn it into a rally spec. ep a little like prangers old car, but im thinking white with possibly castrol graphics if it will look any good? Im not normally a fan of decals, but i think this may look okay..What do you think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thats pretty big plans mate but would look awsome in the colours Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 You know what Fishy, i have actually already seen a Castrol decalled SR think it was around the Chesterfield area.Will look awesome, if you get the decals professionaly done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
